I believe this is William and Susan Beard Chambers and their children. The child named William would have been 7 in June/July of 1850 and would have turned 8 in October of that year. According to his obituary and death certificate, he was born in 1842 in Rockbridge Co., VA to William and Susan Beard Chambers, both of whom were born in Virginia. Also, it says that son William came to Montgomery Co., IN when he was a young man. This would make the father William born abt 1809 and the mother being born abt 1811, both in VA. Still trying to find out who is the father of said William born abt 1809. Any help is appreciated! Thank you, Joyce Chambers Foerster
