William Chambers

  General Notes:

William Chambers married the widow Mary Hogan about 1861. The 1860 Federal Census records William as single and born about 1835. In the same census (Ohio, Lawrence Co., Ironton City, page 198B) Mary Hogan (40-Ireland / widow lady), is recorded with her children, Mary (10-PA), James (8-Ohio), and Eliza Jane (4-Ohio).

Additional census records for William Chambers of the Willard Massie family appear below:
1910 Fed Census Ohio, Lawrence Co., Ironton City, ED# 99, page 135B

Anna, wife, 31, 4 kids of which 3 are alive.
Williard, Jr., 10

Earl, 2/12
William Chamber, 80, grandfather-in-law, widow

NEXT DOOR IS - living at 236 Buckhorn Street:
Mary Haley, 54, born in Pa. / parents born in Ireland
Clarence, 28

This must be Anna's family! (see 1930 census)

It is of much additional interest ... this is how research evolves on families... that the following is recorded:
