   DAVID CHAMBERS, farmer, P. O. Carey, Wyandot County, was born in Crawford
County, Ohio, December 24, 1833, son of Elias and Catherine (Stockman) Chambers,
natives of Virginia and Pennsylvania, respectively. Elias Chambers, who was of
English descent, came to Liberty Township. Crawford Co., Ohio, about 1824 or
1825, entered 120 acres of timbered land and cut the first timber from his land
and built a cabin. His family at that time consisted of wife and one
child—Susan, now the Widow Steen, residing on the old home farm, in Crawford
Co., Ohio. Afterward there were born to Elias and his wife six other children:
William (deceased), whose widow now occupies part of the old home farm in
Crawford Co., Ohio; Catherine, wife of J. Steen; Peter (deceased). David, Daniel
and Aaron. Our subject acquired his early education in the schools of Crawford
Co., Ohio, and married, April 26, 1859, Sarah A. Sargent, daughter of Samuel and
Eliza (Smith) Sargent, of Hampshire County, Va. (now West Virginia), who came to
Ohio in 1825. To Mr. and Mrs. Chambers were born Nora C., David W.. Greely,
Delia, Clinton, Cora and Wesley. David Chambers came to this county when a young
man and after traveling over a good share of the county and laboring in various
places, he began work with his uncle, William Chambers, on the farm which he,
David, now owns. It is now a highly cultivated and well improved farm, with
substantial modern buildings and other improvements thereon, situate in Section
35, of Big Lick Township, this county. Starting out to win his place in this
world, with no capital but a stout heart and a resolute will, he has been
successful, and is to-day one of the thrifty farmers and respected citizens of
Big Lick Township, this county, and has filled, with credit to himself and the
satisfaction of his fellow townsmen, the offices of constable, trustee and other
township offices.
