    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Willoughby Chambers Fortner Tadlock McCullough Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ihB.2ACI/4236.2 Message Board Post: I am interested in the Nancy CHAMBERS who married Thomas Willoughby on 16 DEC 1812 in Greene County. I descend from Elizabeth Chambers who married Jacob FORTNER 27 AUG 1818, also in Greene County. I would like to sometime confirm her parents. In going through the Greene Co. tax lists at the time I found a Thomas Chambers and I believe a John Chambers (my notes are 3,000 miles away). Many of my Fortner cousins feel that Elizabeth's parents (possibly Nancy's also) are William Chambers and Cassandra Robison who were married in Rowan County, NC in 1785/6. However, I am still looking for documentation of this beyond the proximity on NC tax lists of a William Chambers (there were several) and Fortners. In the albeit limited review of Greene Co. records around 1818 -- the time of Elizabeth and Jacob's marriage -- I found no William Chambers, her speculated father. Further, at the NC State Archives in March I found no probate papers/wills for a William Chambers in Iredell, Wilkes, Surry Counties. I am also very interested in two other marriages: First, Moses Chambers and Mary Tadlock, said to be 16 DEC 1796 in Greene Co, TN. Hortons, Tadlocks, Shields, Martins, McCalls, Chapmans and others were allied families and lived "close enough for courtin'" to the Fortners and my Marshalls/Sextons/Hortons, all within probably 10 miles of Rheatown. Second, Thomas Chambers and Nancy McCulough on 28 May 1810 in ,Greene,Tn -- another possible member of Elizabeth's family. All thoughts are much appreciated. Best Regards, Janet Hunter
