Generation: 3
15. | Robert Brittain (2.Celia2, 1.John1) was born about 1896 in Sabine County, Texas; and died. Notes:
Caryn Getsinger was told by Leo Chambers that Robert was raised by his Uncle and Aunt, John and Mary Chambers, though he kept his birth name.
|
16. | Drusilla Chambers (3.Joseph2, 1.John1) was born about 1910 in San Augustine County, Texas; and died. Notes:
Caryn Getsinger reports that, according to her sister Pauline, Drusilla was "slow in school," Pauline reported, however, that Drusilla "did beautiful hand work" and was a very good cook. Drusilla gave birth to a baby girl named Norma in 1938, but apparently refused to sign the adoption papers. She may have been forced to give up the baby anyway.

18. | Lister Allen Chambers (3.Joseph2, 1.John1) was born on 7 Apr 1915 in Humble, Harris County, Texas; died on 17 Oct 1949 in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California; was buried on 24 Oct 1949 in Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery, Bexar County, Texas. Notes:
Caryn Getsinger reports that he changed his name to Allen Lister so he could be called Allen in the Navy. He died aboard the USS Piedmont. He was married to an Ethel Brown(?), who left her baby with Pauline as she couldn't raise the child herself. The child, Betty Jane was raised by her Uncle James Johnson in West Park, New York.

21. | Jack A. Williams (4.Ida2, 1.John1) was born on 20 Sep 1905 in Sabine County, Texas; died on 7 Oct 1906 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in New Hope Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
(Research):At the time of the 1910 census, Ida Chambers Williams indicated she was the mother of 5 children in total, only four of whom were still living. Based on this response, and that fact that these were the only adult Williams buried at New Hope near Jack A. Williams, it is assumed he is the child of Ida's that died young.
