Robert CHAMBERS was born on 19 May 1622 in Stirling, Firth of Forth River, Scotland. He died on 18 Feb 1685 in Shettleston, Glasgow, Argyll, Scotland. He was buried in Scotland. He married Marioun CLOGGIE on 30 Jun 1640/1648 in Falkirk District, Upper County of Stirling, Scotland.
Moore Family records show his place of birth as Firth Muir of Boysack, Angus, Scotland.
LDS records show his religious affiliation as Presbyterian.
Records provided by Veronica Potter and Anna Noe in 2001 show that in 1635, Robert Chambers emigrated from Scotland in the company of others and settled in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. He later returned to Scotland. The Chambers of Scotland are associated with Clan Cameron of Lochiel. The Clan Cameron website contains the following information:
CHALMERS, CHAMBERS, CHAMBRES, CAMERARIUS, CAMERARIO, DE CAMERA, DE LA CHAMBRE
This surname is said to be derived from a Cameron who entered the French military service and assumed the name of Camerarius/Camerario (in French: De La Chambre), or Chalmers, as to be "more agreeable to the language of that country." One of this specific Cameron's progeny, remaining in France, was the ancestor to the Lord of Tartas and others of this surname in that Kingdom. Another of that name, having returned to Scotland, was the ancestor of the Chalmers of Aberdeen-shire and other parts of Scotland. Chalmers was used as a "code name" for various Camerons during the 1745 Jacobite Rebellion, which may also signify the surname's connections with Clan Cameron. All of the above mentioned names may be traced back to the Scots form of the name Chambers.
(end of Clan Cameron quote)
--------------------Robert Chambers suffered religious persecution during the reign of Charles II and James II.
Marioun CLOGGIE was born on 28/29 Apr 1623 in Falkirk District, County Stirling, England. She died on 10 Aug 1684 in Shettleston, Glasgow, Argyll, Scotland. She married Robert CHAMBERS on 30 Jun 1640/1648 in Falkirk District, Upper County of Stirling, Scotland.
Some records show her maiden name spelled Cloggy.
They had the following children:
M i John CHAMBERS M ii Peter CHAMBERS was born in 1655/1657 in Scotland. He died .
"Emigrated to Virginia in abt 1710. Early in the 18th century, under the direction of Peter Chambers, a large Scotch colony was formed on the upper Rappahannock. For a number of years, he would acquaint himself with the arrival of immigrant ships, and if there were any Scotch on board, he would persuade them to unite with the Rappahannock settlement. Even as late as 1723, he was interested in building up the Virginia settlement." - From "Trails of the Centuries"M iii Benjamin CHAMBERS Sr. M iv Alexander CHAMBERS
John MOORE [Parents] was born 1 about 1710 in England. He died 2 in 1795 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He married 3 Judith WALKER about 1740 in Virginia.
Other marriages:MOORE, Susanna
MELTON, Agnes
Some records show that John Moore died in 1785, but this is doubtful because he married his third wife after that date.
