    3. Hello List, This is to update Thompson/Chambers descendants on my research on the family of Rachel Chambers, wife of Reubin Thompson b 1765 NC. Some other researchers have helped pinpoint the area where Rachel's father, Jonas Chambers, lived in Cecil Co Md. The location was determined from Jonas's land plats in that county. He lived north of Elkton near the present day town of Providence. This is in northeastern Cecil Co Md, not far from the Pa and Delaware borders. Of further great interest, living adjacent to him was a Samuel Robinet. I am still trying to pinpoint exactly which Samuel Robinet this was, but I'm betting on his being an ancestor of Rachel Robinette Beasley, whose daugter, Mildred Amelia Beasley, married Rev. Robert Thompson, son of Reubin and Rachel Chambers Thompson. Another find is the family of Jonas Chambers' wife, Priscilla. Her maiden name was Jones. Her father was a Robert Jones of Cecil Co Md, who died there in 1749. He was the son of a John Jones who was born in either Pa or Md, born abt 1715. His occupation was listed as cooper (a maker of barrels). John Jones also lived in Cecil Co Md. Hopefully we will be able to find further information about this family, hopefully this new information will help. Carol B. Miller
