Which Francis Marion Chambers are you referring to? I have two in my database, but neither fit. One I have is the son of John Chambers and Margaret Sharp, wife Lucinda Lay, daughter of Rev. James Lay and the other Francis Marion Chambers I have was married to Rachel Lay, daughter of Moses Lay. I don't know who his parents were. There were alot of Chambers!!! The Daniel Chambers I have was born about 1826 in Campbell, TN and is supposed to be the son of Thomas Chambers of Virginia. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Fostweave@aol.com> To: <TNSCOTT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 7:13 PM Subject: Re: [TNSCOTT] chambers > I've been having computer problems so I'm slow to get into the Chambers > discussion.
