My 2nd and 3rd great-grandfathers, John, Jr., and John, Sr. Chambers lived in Paris Crossing. John Sr. is buried somewhere around there, but haven't learned where yet. Barbara, I'm more than curious about your John Chambers. I have an Aaron Rowlison and Elizabeth McKnight who came from Rockbridge Co. VA to Jefferson Co., IN. Elizabeth was married first to John (Robert) Chambers on 5 Dec 1797 in Rockbridge Co. I have them with a daughter, Jane, born about 1799. Elizabeth's parents were George McKnight and Anne Alford. Elizabeth married 2nd, Aaron Rowlison on 14 Feb 1807 in Rockbridge Co., where they had three children, George M., Aaron Jr., and Martha L., before moving to Jefferson Co. IN perhaps as early as 1814. Jane Chambers later married Aaron's son by his first marriage, Nathaniel Rowlison. Does this sound like your John Chambers by any chance? I had to ask - did Elizabeth's first husband end up making the same move from Rockbridge Co, VA to Jefferson/Jennings Co., IN as she and her second husband did? Thanks, Jerry Johnson
