Peter,
I would agree that the reference to Huguenot ancestry in the biographical information
information "Alexander Wilds Chambliss was born in Darlington District , South
Carolina , July 4, 1812. His father, John Chambliss, was a planter of considerable
wealth, who came of the Virginia stock of the same name and of Huguenot ancestry.",
does not close the question but to me it does go a long way towards doing so. Absent
information to the contrary the most reasonable conclusion is that the Chambliss brothers
who came to the new world were most likely French Huguenots whose ancestors made there way
to England as part of the French protestant Diaspora..
Bob
