I've been having computer problems so I'm slow to get into the Chambers discussion. The Emeline Phillips who is said to be the natural daughter of Wayne Whitecotton is my husband's great grandmother. She is listed as a daughter of Emanuel Phillips on his civil war pension papers. This is not a rumor we have heard in my husband's family. All I have ever heard her called is Emeline Phillips. Unfortunately my husband didn't get interested in genealogy until about 9 years ago. His father wasn't born until after Emeline died and as far as he can remember his grandfather never talked about his mother Emeline. So there is probably no way to prove or disprove this story. I do know she married John Foster as Emeline Phillips. It's interesting that Polly West was married to Daniel Chambers and his brother Francis Marion Chambers was married to Elizabeth West. Francis Marion and Elizabeth are my ggg grandparents. I was told by another descendant of theirs that Elizabeth's natural father was a Whitecotton/Cotton. This was the rumor in the family. No proof of that either. Has anyone ever heard anything on Elizabeth West who married Francis Marion Chambers. She was the daughter of Sally West. Joyce Weaver Foster
