General Notes: Husband - John Chambers


He was the descendant of a Chambers who settled in eastern Pennsylvania at a very early day. He was born near Little York, York County, Pennsylvania, where his paternal ancestors erected the first gristmill of that county, and their descendants in that section have been engaged in milling ever since.

He was born in York, Pennsylvania, of Scotch-Irish descent, and he settled at Pleasant Unity, Westmoreland County, in 1793. Here he built a mill and engaged in the manufacture of woolen goods.
