Can any one give me any information on the various Chambers familes of
Decatur Co., IN ? My line is that of William Chambers d. 1845 and his wife
Barbara d. 1846.
I think that they arrived in Decatur Co. in the 1830s.
Prior to that they lived in the Preble Co., Ohio area. William and Barbara
are buried in the St. Omer Cemetery in Decatur Co. They had a large family
consisting of
a son , John. (There is a John and Elizabeth who are buried at Union Chapel
Cem., Adams Twp., Decatur Co., Ohio. Other people that are connected to my
family (not Chambers) are also buried there.) William also had sons, Joseph,
William, Alexander, and Thomas. He had daughters Julia Ann m. Lewis Cline,
Mary m. William Montgomery, Jane m. Jermiah Miller, Barbara m. ? Johnson and
had a daughter, Barbara, Katherine m. Jesse Henderson (my line), Williamney
m. Jesse Johnson, Nancy m. Joseph Graham, and Margaret, spouse if any
unknown. I am trying to weed out the Chambers people that are not connected.
There was a John Chambers Sr. and a John Chambers Jr. that entered land there
in 1810. I suspect, and that is all that it is, that John Sr. was a brother
to my William. .
Thank you.
