They were both born about 1680 and this is promising. It shows there might be some connection between the two families very early on. I have good information on the Chambers line, but just like the Blankenships -- there is no record of marriages or wives. It was strictly a man's world. >> Hi Pat, I am working hard to see if I can make that early connection between the Chambers and the Blankenships and the Ross' .
