General Notes: Husband - George Chambers

---

He joined with his brothers, Williams and Benjamin, in establishing Mount Pleasant Iron works at the entrance of Path Valley, in 1783.

Prior to the revolutionary war four Chambers brothers, James, Benjamin, George and Charles, emigrated from Ireland and settled in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where they lived for some time, long enough, in fact, to give their name to the place. About 1770 they moved to Westmoreland County, taking up a large tract of land in the townships of Washington and Allegheny. Benjamin, George and Charles did not long remain there, but James took up one thousand acres of government land and made his home in Washington township.
