This page is a recent work in progress. Please contact us if you are part of this branch! Still searching for history of Drusilla Chambers b. 1910 of Houston, TX (in 1938), daughter of Joseph Allen and Eva Lee Johnson.
Many thanks to the people who helped me compile this information: the US and TX GenWeb Project; Patricia Boyd who was the sole source for helping me locate my great-grandmother, Eva Lee Chambers; Elaine Cassel for her immense patience and time helping me research further into the ancestry of a lost cousin; Charlene Medley, Newton County Historical Society; Danny Glenn for helping me with Jasper and Newton Co. lookups; Earl S. Chambers for verifying much of my family's documented information; Tammy Crockett; Shannon Smyrle for providing information about the John H. Collins family in San Augustine; Melinda McLemore Strong for John Partin family info and for doing some Sabine County lookups for us; Leo Chambers for confirming some of my grandmother's stories; Barbara Massey Ferrel and Kathie Friestat for connecting me with other Chambers/Collins/Partin researchers; Bettye Bragg Wagstaff for her stories, her expertise, lookups, and for kindly meeting my parents in E. Texas; Annette Feemster for much new and confirming information regarding our family, and for meeting with my parents; and my mother for letting me look into things that might have consequences; my grandmother, Pauline, for her memory of the past and for finally recently talking about some of it; Aunt Janice for driving Pauline to East Texas many times years ago and keeping record of their findings; and most of all thanks to Norma for her courage and strength.
