Hi

I'm looking for descendants/info on the above. They arrived in New York in October 1870, with their two children, James George (B1865) & Elizabeth Caroline (B1868), a third child Rose A, was born in Bradford County on 25 August, 1872. Emanuel died on 30 June, 1879, and is buried in Wyalusing Cemetery.

Regards

Is this the death of Rose?  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VPQ6-ZLV

If so, this appears to be her in 1940 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K9ZS-B7X

1930 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XCFR-8V6

1920 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MH7S-S17

1910 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:M5Q9-LRY

1905 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MVBC-QY5

On www.fultonhistory.com, there is an obituary for Rose Wixson that says she was the daughter of Emmanuel and Anna Haines Chambers.  She was survived by the daughter she was living with in 1940 and one sister, Mrs. Lizzie Blackwell of Corning, New York.

I think this is Elizabeth/Lizzie:

1920 - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MVSJ-KV3

A Jul. 1923 newspaper article from a Corning newspaper on www.fultonhistory.com says that James Chambers of Washington, DC was a guest of his sister Mrs. Freeman Foster of West Pulteney Street.

Her daughter Madge's marriage record - https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FFR5-NJT

www.fultonhistory.com has an obituary for Elizabeth (try searching for the exact phrase "Mrs. Freeman Foster" and look for one of the ones from 1947), which says she was survived by 3 daughters, 2 sons, several grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren.  I would think there must be some survivors of that branch still around.

One of the sons of Madge, who appears to still be living, appears to have an interesting place in history.  I'll send you what I found via personal message.

Hi Shelly

Just to say thanks again for all of your help. You were right regarding Mrs. Freeman Fosters descendants, her children were from her first marriage and I am now in touch with one of her descendants (my fourth cousin) who lives in Minnesota.
