Glenda, the Thomason line is now doing DNA testing. I do not know any male
who is a Chumbley. I know there was one in our line, but we have lost him.
I guess that we could find him or see if he had a son if we tried. The only
thing that I remember about him, --he told me about 48 years ago that
when he died to look in his glove box and you would find a car payment book.
He lived in Greenville and his name was Farrel Chumbley. I know that he was
from my husband's line because my husband said that he knew him from his
grandmother's house. Am I making sense? Nell

See below what I have just received from Ancestry on this.
Sorry guys, but you have to do this one, females not included yet.
We all might be enlightened as to who matches up and who does not.
My bets are that the Chumley/Chumbley lines of Va. are one and the
same.

Lynn,
If you go to the Archives for this RootsWeb List you will find a couple of
years (sorry, I can't be more precise as to when) ago where I posted the
research done by Bill Chumley. He has assembled all of these records and
made some conclusions that you may find of use.
Good luck,
Barbara Meger
Dear List,
Can anyone tell me who the John Chumley and John Chumley Jr. listed in
the 1801 through the 1809 tax lists of Knox Co., Ky. are, and how or if
they are connected to our lines.
There is also a John Chumley listed in the 1810 Cen of Knox Co., Ky.
which falls into the the 45 and up age group, with a female the same age
and a female in the 10 to 16 years age group.
A John Chumley is mentioned as owning land at one time on the Brownies
Creek, in Harlan Co., Ky, which could have been Knox Co., before the
lines changed.
I found some time ago that my Posey, Chadwell, Brittian lines out of
Harlan Co., Ky. just might have had some business dealings with a John
Chumley.
Could this be the John Chumley that we think just might be our Robert
Chumley's father? This does place a John Chumley in the area just about
the correct time frame.
And could this be the John Chumley that was not only in Va., but
Georgia, Ky, and Indiana?
I was wondering if anyone else had found this information, as it is not
listed on Eddie's web page on the Chumley families.
Sincerely,
Glenda Mounger
Hi all,
I don't know how many of you have seen this, so thought it was worth
sending. For those of us with Chumbleys, Goodmans, Slattens, etc. this
would be a good time to get something in print about our ancestors and
collaterals. I would like to submit something. Only one article per
"household" is allowed, so if any of the members on this list are
interested, we might want let each other know who is doing what, so that our
efforts won't be duplicated. We can pool our knowledge on an article about
Robert Chumbley, and Sampson & Sarah (Lingar) Goodman. What do you think?

Hopefully someone out there might know who my Thomas S. Chumley descends
from. Thomas was born around 1800 in VA. He married Elizabeth Davi(d)son
on January 21,1818 in Prince Edward County. Thomas and Elizabeth had at
least 10 known children born in 4 different states.
1. Joseph Edward born 11/22/1818 VA
2. Ava Jane born 2/4/1821 KY
3. Nancy Elizabeth born 2/13/1823 KY
4. Susan Frances born 9/10/1825 KY
5. Thomas born 2/10/1828 TN
6. Sarah R. born 8/21/1830 Nashville, TN
7. Mary Elizabeth born 5/21/1833 TN
8. James K. Polk born 1/16/1836 TN
9. Richard W. born 2/5/1839 Montgomery County, ILL
10. Martha Lucrecia born 11/14/1841 Montgomery County, ILL
If Thomas was from Prince Edward County then it would make sense that his
father was someone on the 1810 census in that county. The only 2
possibilities that I can see are Robert or John Chumbley. John has 2 young
males in his household and Robert has 3. If anyone can prove or disprove
parentage of Thomas I would greatly appreciate it. Any others connecting to
Thomas? My husband is the gggrandson of #4---Susan Frances Chumley who
married Lewis Wesley Sanders in Montgomery County, Illinois.
Thanks,
Lynne Evans
