Life

He was the son of Assemblyman Jacob Chambers (1776–1847) and Maria (Hasbrouck) Chambers (1780–1835). He studied medicine, and began to practice about 1838 in Neversink, Sullivan County, New York. Three years later he returned to Marbletown, and lived in Stone Ridge. On December 5, 1845, he married Sarah Catherine Sahler (1823–1856), and they had four children. On January 28, 1858, he married Mary Esther Westbrook (1835–1895), and they had five children.

He entered politics as a Whig; joined the Know Nothings, supporting Millard Fillmore for President in 1856; and then became a Democrat. He was Supervisor of the Town of Marbletown in 1848, 1854, and from 1861 to 1866; and Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Ulster County from 1864 to 1866. He was a member of the New York State Senate (10th D.) in 1866 and 1867.

He was buried at the Benton-Bar Cemetery in Kyserike.
