David Chalker is my 3 great grandfather. My mom still lives less than 10 miles from the cemetary where he is buried. Looking for info going further back. Nancy was born in NY so he must have been from there.

It would be best to deal directly, that way I can send you the Binghamton photos. They are from a collection from Byron Rollins. He is on the same tombstone as Frederick and Weltha in Manchester, NH. He had many excellent card photos, unfortunately we cannot identify most of the individuals. I am at howard.jackman@sympatico.ca

Re: New York Chalkers

robertahewitt — 2010-12-15 12:58:16Z

Adelia Deem Elliott was Orlando Chalker's mother. Frederick married Weltha E Rollins. They had a daughter Loretta and a son Byron Nelson.

What do the ages of the women look like?

Re: New York Chalkers

HowardJackman — 2010-12-13 02:29:31Z

A grandaunt married Frederick Chalker, b.1860, Binghamton, son of Orlando and Adelia. I have a couple of photos from Binghamton that I am trying to identify. One may be Adelia. Any suggestions?.

Hi, I am looking for any information I can gather on Alice Chalker, born about 1907 in Goulburn, NSW. Alice married Clarence Betts in 1932 and had three children (all boys). It would be good if I could get the names of Alice's parents as a starting point. Alice is the grandmother of my children and I would like to be able to give them the gift of their ancestry for their children.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks so much, Roberta. The links you mentioned didn't come through with the posts. Harvey Chalker is interred next to my aunt at the Alford cemetery in Harrisburg, Oregon. But I am interested in the Chalker website you mentioned earlier. Can you send a the address typed out, instead of the hyperlink? Thanks again. Alicia

Re: Harvey Lee Chalker

robertahewitt — 2010-01-08 15:52:59Z

Here is another website for you. Findagrave.com has Harvey's cemetery info. You can request poster to get you a picture too if they can on the website. Take care.

Re: Harvey Lee Chalker

eblagrone — 2010-01-04 04:57:08Z

Hello, again! Yep, I reviewed the photograph of Harvey's gravestone, and there's no mistaking it, it's 13 May 1943. Regarding the marriage record, I had the same thing happen to me: Everyone told me my great-grandparents got married in Vancouver, Washington. It took me about 15 years to find there marriage record - in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada!

Happy hunting! Beth

Re: Harvey Lee Chalker

arhouston1 — 2010-01-04 04:41:26Z

Dear Cousin, did you see that someone else interested in our research posted a note? All this time and the record was in Washington! Regarding the death date for Harvey Lee Chalker: it is possible that I misread or mistyped the date, but when I visited the Alford cemetery in 1981, I noted May 18, 1943. If you still think otherwise, I'd be happy to adjust my records. Thanks, Alicia

Re: Harvey Lee Chalker

robertahewitt — 2010-01-04 00:12:53Z

There is a free genealogy site that I use alot called familysearch.org. They have Washington state county marriage records there (just added in December) and they have the following record:

Harvey L Chalker & Pearl Ingram - marriage date Apr 16 1927 in Washington - both father & mothers names too along with catalog numbers etc.

Re: Harvey Lee Chalker

eblagrone — 2009-12-23 01:17:35Z

I don't have a source for their marriage, other than family records, either...sorry!

I found his gravesite today (along w/ his wife) and the gravestone says he died on the 13th...so I'm not sure which is in error, the obit or the gravestone...I can e-mail the photos to you if you'd like. I happen to live in the next town over, so it was just a quick 10 minute trip to explore the cemetery.

My interest is that Harvey is the brother of my great-grandfather, Mark Elroy Chalker.

Oh, by the way, I found Harvey's WWI Draft Registration Card, and it gave Harvey's birthplace as Frost, Clare Co., MI, along w/ his older sister Nettie (Michigan Births, 1867-1902)...I think after that they moved to Shiawassee County.

Re: Harvey Lee Chalker

arhouston1 — 2009-12-23 00:40:22Z

Hi, Beth.
The marriage date you cite came from family records, but I haven't been able to confirm it with a county marriage source. If you have one, I'd be happy to see the reference.

Harvey Lee Chalker was born 26 April 1879 at Antrim, Shiawassee County, MI; died 18 May 1943 at North Bend, Coos County, OR; and is buried at the Alford Cemetery near Harrisburg in Linn County, OR. Death information comes from an obituary published in the "Coos Bay Harbor". What is your interest?

Hello,

What I have is speculation from an English friend. She says the name came from people who lived in the south of England near the chalk deposits (think White Cliffs of Dover!). My Chalkers came from England to Connecticut to Michigan and finally to Oregon.

Re: Harvey Lee Chalker

eblagrone — 2009-12-22 19:11:22Z

Hello!

I show that Harvey and Pearl married 16 Apr 1927 in Multnomah County, OR...you wouldn't happen to have any death information about Harvey, would you?

lolliescr — 2008-09-01 02:39:39Z

I've been stuck at James C Travis b 1803 for awhile now. Where did you find the info on his father?

I come down from James C Travis b 1803, Samuel W. Travis b 1826, Samuel W. Travis b 1868, Laurence O. Travis (my grandpa)b 1897.

I have a copy of photocopied photo of Isaac, Ella, Ida, George, Maude and Lewis, and then one of George, Elizabeth, Everett and two other kids. I got these from Everett's daughter, Ann after Susie(Mom) passed away. Not sure if you are familiar with George's family or not. I do have some info on Isaac's family, not sure that it is complete or not. I could send you a GedCom file if you send me your email address.

Re: Looking for S Tier NY / N E PA CHALKER'S & TRAVIS'

ezdaze1 — 2008-08-21 22:03:57Z

My great grandfather was Issac H Travis, b 1860, who was married to Ella May Storrs. Isaac was the son of Samuel W Travis, b 1826, Samuel's dad was James C Travis, b 1803. This James was the son of James born 1725 in England. I can't go back any further. I hope the info I have is correct. If you can add, correct or improve any of my info, I would appreciate it.

Re: Looking for S Tier NY / N E PA CHALKER'S & TRAVIS'

lolliescr — 2008-08-21 00:51:33Z

Thank you, I will check those family tree's for additional info.

Which child of James did you come from? Wondering if we are of the same branch or different. I'm interested in all of the branches that I can locate. :)

Re: Looking for S Tier NY / N E PA CHALKER'S & TRAVIS'

ezdaze1 — 2008-08-05 22:26:51Z

I am a descendant of James Travis.

From research I have done, I believe the Isaac & James that you are searching were the sons of James C Travis b 1771 in Edgefield, SC and died 20 June 1861 in Lancashire, England. He was married to Jane Tinsley b 13 Apr 1778 in Lancashire, England and died 20 Sept 1857.

This James C was the son of James Travis b abt 1725 and Phoebe Covert. Phoebe was the daughter of Isaac Covert (1697-1780) and Mary Purdy (1703-?)

I think Samuel Chalker was the son of Daniel Chalker (1740-1815) of Saybrook CT. I found a Sarah Ingraham as Daniel's wife but the dates (b 1692)don't seem to be appropriate.

I gathered much of this info from public family trees listed on Ancestry,com under the names of Raymond Family Tree, Webster Family Tree, Kelly Family Tree

Any information would be appreciated. I have not been able to find anyone with the last name Chalker in the 1860 or 1870 censuses in the area.

Hi, Reg,

Sorry to have taken so long to respond. I cannot find a Mary Ann in my Chalker database who might be your Mary Ann Chalk. I know the Chalks in Newfoundland (where my Chalker ancestor Ann married my great grandfather Joseph LeDrew) do not appear to be related the Chalkers there (in NFLD).

I am happy to send you what I have on my Chalkers from Ashburton, but be aware I have made some educated judgements or assumptions along the way so it is not all "pure" based upon documented records.

I will send it to you outside the message board.

Re: Samuel Chalker of Marlboro Cty., SC

JerryChalker44 — 2005-10-31 14:07:09Z

Diane, it is truly a small world. We use to vacation at Santa Rosa Island until it got elbow to elbow. We were there 30 years ago. Samuel Chalker of S.C. may have been from the Connecticut family of Alexander Chalker. No one seems to have any information concerning his life prior to his days on the Pee Dee River in Marlboro Cty. One logical deduction could be that the British burned many of the records. I was born in Georgia. Samuel was my ggggggrandfather. My ancestors come from the line of one of his sons, Hodges.
