Robin: I have some information on John Thomas Chambless who married Mary Ann
Mills in 1861 probably in Marion or Fayette Co. Alabama. This is not my
direct line but I received the information from a granddaughter of his.
However, we believe that his father was a Nathan Chambless who married first
a Nancy Mason and secondly Matilda Vaughn. Nathan was born abt 1811 in TN
and probably married his first wife about 1828. One of their children was
named Mastin E. born 1836 and married a Mary Harrison Weeks. This
information makes John Thomas and Mastin E. brothers instead of father and
son.
I have done some research on Nathan but mostly as it pertains to the Vaughn
line which is my husband's line.
If you think this might be the line you are looking for, I will be glad to
share what information I have.
