I am and have been stumped on this family. Hardy's son William Chambless(my g-gf) b
1832, Al and wife,Elizabeth Webb b 1832,Ga, was killed by Indians in a raid on their wagon
train as they came into Tx. My gf, Whitt W. Chambless b 1863, Al was raised as an orphan.
Being just between three and six yrs old when they were killed, he remembered almost
nothing. A half-sister also escaped, her name was Sarah J.Green. Have never been able to
determine who raised him, but in 1880, he was found living with a William King family in
Marion Co, Al. Haven't found out how they were connected or where he was from about
the mid 1860's to 1880. He later returned to Tx. I think at some time he was with my
gg-gf Hardy in Ark or with his aunt Lavica also in Ark. So I have very little to go on.
Many thanks for your efforts, Julia Chambless Eisenburg
