JOHN CHAMBERS. He was the son of William Chambers, one of the resident holders of the Chambers and Southerland Patent in New Windsor in 1712. He removed to New York in 1730, where he was appointed member of The Governor’s Council (1752-63) and associate judge of the Supreme Court (1751-66). His contemporary, Judge Jones, says of him, in his "History of New York;" "Mr. Chambers had been regularly bred to the law in the province, in all the courts of which he had practiced for a long course of years, with universal applause and the fairest reputation as an honest, upright man. He was at this time (1760) one of His Majesty’s Council. His religion was that of the Church of England, of which he was not only a zealous professor, but an ornament and an honor to the religion he professed."
