Dublin / Re: John Chambers, Printer and United Irishman
« on: Thursday 02 August 18 14:10 BST (UK)  »
I am Jonathan Chambers a descendant of the Chambers Family of Tullynaskeagh Co Down.

I am wondering of I have a connection to the John Chambers of Dublin who was a United Irishman - I have a tree an on ancestry which is name Chambers of Tullunaskeagh which is open.

We have some relatives of the same period who fought with and possibly against the United Irishmen - I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about this John Chambers forebears

Thanks

Jonathan Chambers

I myself have been DNA tested and I have a long list of DNA data.0

 I am unsure which is the relevant marker for R1B or R1A. Perhaps you could send this detail and I can confirm. I only have a data file from ancestry.co.uk

Francis Chambers is quite an interesting fellow.

We were certainly Presbyterian by the 1641 rebellion and were involved in the siege of Ardglass when we assisted Simon de Jourdan (of Jordan's Castle) in breaking the siege and received half a ploughland.

The battle of Dunsford (various dates 1602-1609) was probably fought on our land at Tullynaskeagh at Middle Hill on the farm.

You can see most the detail for Francis Chambers at my ancestry.co.uk tree entitled Chambers of Tullynaskeagh which is public.

I also have a relative John Chambers whose father was a United Irishman in Dublin and was exiled to Hamburg and thence New York after the rebellion.

I am a Chambers of Tullynaskeagh - my father farms the farm of Tullynaskeagh.

I can confirm we are pre-plantation and I suspect we were originally Cameronians (i.e. covenanters) from Scotland.

My mother has the original 1858 history written by Francis Chambers (Male) (1771-1862) who is buried at Downpatrick Presbyterian Church.

We are Non-Subscribing Presbyterians - on the liberal wing of Presbyterianism.

4 generations back from me 3 of my great-great uncles started the Chambers Car Company.

I hope that helps.
