Message Board Post:
Several unconfirmed statements that the Chambliss family is of (French) Huguenot descent
have surfaced. I am trying to verify this assertion. The earliest Chambliss I have found
is Robert Chamniss (sic) who was born in 1603 in France, immigrated to Warwickshire,
England, in about 1622, and ended up in Virginia with son John Chamnes (sic) in 1652.
Does anyone have proof that the family was Huguenot in origin?
