General Notes: Husband - John Chambers


In early life he learned the trade of blacksmith, which he for a time followed, but on coming of age he abandoned the anvil for the counter, embarking in mercantile business in Buffalo village, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he was also a large wool buyer. Here he remained till 1830, when he removed to Canonsburg and opened a store for the sale of general merchandise, which he conducted up to the time of his death.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Politically a Democrat, he served in various borough offices.
