N. B. CHAMBERS, Hancock County, was born in Hancock County, Ky., June 19, 1852.
He is the son of G. W. and Letticia (Williams) Chambers, the father a native of
Virginia, and the mother of Kentucky.  Mr. Chambers' paternal ancestors were
Virginians, his grandfather emigrating from the old Dominion State in an early
day, and settling in Hancock, then Breckinridge County, and was one of the first
permanent settlers on Blackford Creek.  He was a farmer by occupation and died
about 1860, at an advanced age.  Subject's maternal grandfather was William
Williams.  He was an early resident of the souteastern [sic] part of Hancock
County, and died many years ago.  G. W. Chambers, Jr., subject's father, was
born in 1814, and came to Kentucky with his parents when quite young.  He was a
farmer and minister in the Methodist Episcopal Church, and died in Hancock
County, 1865.  Mrs. Letticia Chambers was born in Breckinridge County, in 1821,
and died in 1882.  Mr. and Mrs. Chambers were the parents of ten children, the
following of whom are living: J. J., F. T., N. B., Mary E., Frances W., Letticia
A., Benjamin F. and Anna W.  The subject of this sketch was reared on a farm,
and brought up to agricultural pursuits.  His father died when he was thirteen
years of age, after which he remained with his mother, looking after her
interests until her death, farming the home place, which he purchased and which
he still owns.  He remained until thirty years of age, when in 1882 he was
elected county clerk of Hancock County, after a very exciting contest, running
on the National Greenback ticket.  He has proved himself a most efficient
official, and is very popular throughout the county, numbering his friends by
the hundreds.  He is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to which he has
belonged since his twenty-first year, and in politics is a warm adherent of the
Greenback party.
