I have very little
in the way of Papers on these families. I do have
a number of old photos, however. I have not done
much "real" genealogy on these families, but
I have collected some information. It can be found
on my genealogy page.
My branch of the
Chambless family ended up in central Florida, in Wauchula. Israel
Ezekiel Chambless hailed from Macon, Georgia, and I believe
the family had come to there from Virginia. I know
almost nothing about Israel's wife, Carrie Horne.

My branch of the
Sanderson family came from Noble, Illinois, most recently.
Hugh Murphy Sanderson was a physician there.
He attended medical school in St. Louis. The family
came from Scotland to Pennsylvania, and then to Highland
County, Ohio.
Simmons
My branch of the
Simmons family came from the Richmond area of Kentucky,
where my great great grandfather, Josiah Phelps Simmons
was sheriff. An account of his run-in with
Cassius Clay can be found in the book:
Cassius Clay: Firebrand of Freedom
My grandmother,
Sarah Elizabeth Sanderson Chambless, called Betty, taught
first grade for many years. A few class pictures
of first grades in Perrine Elementary school during the
1950s are included in our collection.
