CHAMBLEE  FAMILY  OF  N ,  C.  &  S.  C. 


The  name  CHAMBLEE  is  spelled  various  ways,  Chamble,  Chamblee, 
Chambley,  Shamble,  Shamblee,  Shambley  and  Shamley  to  mention  just  a 
few. 

Land  patents  of  Va,  show  one  Randall  Chamble  in  Lancaster  Co.  Va., 
28  July  1662,  also  an  Ann  Chambley,  ref.  Cavaliers  and  Pioneers  by  Nugent 
p.  216,  398. 

My  search  of  this  family  has  been  done  primarily  to  establish  the 
relationship  between  Robert  Thompson  and  Mary  Jane  (Armstrong)  Chamblee. 
Since  my  mother  knew  two  of  her  gt.  aunts  md,  cousins.,  however  the 
relationship  to  the  Armstrong  family  has  not  been  established.   Both 
families  used  the  name  Thompson. 

ROBERT  CHAMBLEE,  of  Bertie  Co.  N.  C.   On  15  June  1759  John 
Barrett  of  Bertie  Co.  N.  C.  a  cooper,  sold  to  Robert  Chamblee  of  same 
place  100  a.  on  deep  branch.   John  Chamblee  of  Bertie  Co.  N.  C.  excused 
from  paying  taxes  one  year,  probably  because  of  age  or  health,  ref.

granted  for  the  estate  of  James  Burress  dec'd.   Joshua,  Esther  and  Joshua 
Burress,  (I  do  not  know  if  the  two  Joshua's  is  a  repetition  or  if  two

after  the  Hussite  persecutions,  and  subsequently  settled  in  Eastwell  in

THE  SHIRLEY  FAMILY  IN  ENGLAND 


This  was  one  of  the  oldest  families  in  England.   The  name 
originally  was  Sewallis.   In  ancient  English  and  early  American 
records  the  name  is  found  Cherly,  Scherly,  Scherlay,  Scherle,  Sherely, 
Sherley,  Sherlye,  Shirle,  Shirlay,  Shirley,  Shirlye,  Shorley,  Shurley, 
Shurly,  and  Shyrlye,  to  mention  a  few.   There  are  several  Coat  of 
Arms.   One,  SHIRLEY  EARL  OF  FERRERS,  SEWALLIS,  is  at  the  Old  SHIRLEY 
Manor  house,  the  third  to  be  built  on  the  land,  near  Stratford-on- 
Avon,  in  Warwickshire,  England.   The  SHIRLEYS  have  lived  on  this 
land  for  over  900  years.   Over  the  mantle  is  carved  the  SHIRLEY  Coat 
of  Arms  and  that  of  the  name  SEWALLIS,  "These  be  the  Pales  of  Black  and  Gold 

The  which  Sewallis  bore  of  old 
and  this  the  Coat  which  his  true  heirs 
the  ancient  house  of  SHIRLEY  bears." 

The  family  line  back  to  the  beginning  of  names  and  their  Coat  of 
Arms  may  be  found  in  Burke's  Heraldry,  Stemmata  Shirliana  by  Evelyn 
Philip  Shirley,  Lib.  of  Congress.   Brochure  of  Shirley  Mansion.

Lord  Delaware,  First  Gov.  Gen.  of  Va.  1609.   He  was  instrumental  in 
establishing  "Hundreds,"  Communities  where  they  could  have  better  protection 
against  the  hostile  Indians.   His  was  "Shirley  Hundred,"  so  named  for 

his  f.i.l..  Sir  Thomas  Shirley.   The  home  was  erected  in  1613  overlooking 
the  James  River  between  Jamestown  and  Richmond.   In  1660  Edward  Hill 
purchased  "Shirley  Hundred"  9,376  a.  in  Charles  Co.  Va.   The  home  was 
rebuilt  in  1723  by  a  desc.  Edward  Hill  III,  for  his  dtr.,  Elizabeth,

12  SIR  HENRY,  1582.   On  5  Mar.  1617/8  Privey  Council  of  England  to 
Lord  Delaware;   Whereas  Henry  Shirley,  son  of  Sir  Thomas  Shirley,  knight, 
imprisoned  in  the  Kings  Bench  for  debt,  hath  made  his  escape,  and  it  is 
thought,  will  attempt  to  transport  himself  to  Virginia.   In  correspondence 
in  England,  both  Thomas  and  Robert's  son,  Henry,  said  to  have  died  in 
1627  in  Eng.,  seems  to  be  some  confusion,  possibly  only  one  remained  in 
Eng.   It  is  not  known  if  Henry  did  come  to  Va. ,  however  on  16  July  1654 
Henry  Walker  was  allowed  a  land  grant  for  the  transportation  of  Henry 
Shirley  to  Va.   In  the  early  Va.  records  many  transactions  were  not 
recorded  until  years  later.   Henry  Shirley  had  a  land  grant  in,  and  was 
living  in,  James  City  Co.  Va.  in  1654,  ref.  Nell  Nugent,  p.  298.

1833,  md.  15  Apr.  1858  Dr.  Algernon  Sidney  Porter  of  Greensboro. 
Their  son  William  Sidney  Porter,  11  Sep.  1862  N.C.  was  "O.  Henry," 
the  renowned  short-story  writer.   Mr.  C.  Alphonso  Smith  who  wrote 
the  William  Sydney  Porter  Bigography  wrote  that  it  was  from  the 
Shirleys  of  Wiston  for  whom  Shirley  Plantation  was  named  and 
that  Daniel  Shirley  of  Princess  Anne  Co.  traced  his  family  to  the 
Shirley  family  of  Wiston,  ref.  C.  Alphonso  Smith,  p,  24. 

SIR  ROBERT  SHIRLEY,  chr.  20  Oct.  1650  East  Sheen,  Surry  Co. 
England,  third  son  of  Sir  Robert  and  Katherine  (Okeover)  Shirley, 
made  the  First  Earl  Ferrers  in  1711.   He  was  zealously  attached 
to  the  Protestant  succession,  a  supporter  of  high  church  principles, 
d.  25  Dec.  1717  Shirley,  Derby,  Eng.,  md.  1st,  28  Dec.  1671 
Elizabeth  Washington,  b,  1655,  of  Wiltshire  England,  d.  3  Oct. 
1693,  dtr.  of  Laurence  and  Eleanor  (Guise)  Washington.   Her  bro. 
John  Washington,  gr.  father  of  our  first  President.   He  md.  2nd, 
1699  Selina  Finch,  b.  ca.  1670  Stanton  Harold,  Leices,  Eng.,  d. 
20  Mar.  1762.   He  was  father  of  seventeen  children  by  first  wife 
and  ten  by  2nd,  wife,  the  latter  was  mother  of  Mary  Shirley, 
20  Nov.  1702,  d.  17  May  1771,  md.  3  July  1722  Charles  Tryon  Esq., 
chr.  21  Sep.  1702,  d,  28  Nov.  1768.   They  became  the  parents  of 
Lieut.  Gen.  William  Tryon,  8  June  1729,  d.  27  Jan.  1788,  settled 
in  N.C.  became  the  able  Gov.  of  N.C,  1765,  and  established  the 
seat  of  Govt,  at  New  Bern,  where  he  erected  the  stately  old 
Tryon  Palace,  ref.  Burke  Vol.  p.  40,  Hist  Co.  Northamp.   Baker

Tryon  Palace,  Rev.  C.  J.  Ough. 

There  is  yet  another  of  the  SHIRLEY  family  who  distinguished 
himself  in  America,  a  descendent  of  Sr.  Anthony  Shirley  of  Preston, 
Sussex  England,  William  Shirley,  educated  at  Cambridge,  app . 
Gove,  of  Mass.  1741,  ref.  Shirleiana  by  E,  P.  Shirley,  p.  236, 
307,  324,  Chart  305. 

While  these  illustrious  figures  of  the  Shirley  nobility  were 
losing  their  wealth,  prestige   and  titles  in  Europe,  many  of  the 
name  were  seeking  their  fortunes  in  the  New  World.   Some  came  to 
relatives,  already  established  in  Md.  and  Virginia.   Because  of 
the  old  English  custom  of  primogeniture,  the  eldest  male  in  line 
heired  the  ancestral  estate,  and  the  titles  as  well.   As  a 
consequence  many  of  the  family  lines  were  not  extended  in  England. 
In  Virginia,  early  records  were  fragmentary,  sent  to  England,  lost, 
destroyed,  or  never  recorded.   There  is  ample  proof  that  our 
families  came  from  Va.,  tradition  in  several  branches  claim  to  be 
of  English  Royalty  and  that  they  settled  first  along  the  James 
River.   Records  indicate  they  were  located,  very  early,  on  the 


60  THE  SHIRLEY  FAMILY  IN  ENGLAND 


Eastern  Shore  of  Va.  especially  in  Northumberland  Co.  and  gradually  migrated 
Westward.   After  the  Revolution  many  settled  in  S.C.   It  is  these  Virginia 
families  who  came  into  S.C,  I  have  attempted  to  trace.

In  early  records  of  Virginia  a  person  received  50  acres  of 
land  for  the  transportation  of  each  person,  consequently  when 
people  traveled  from  Virginia  to  England,  headrights  were  given, 
as  well  as  for  emmigrants  to  Virginia.   These  grants  for

NORTHUMBERLAND  Co.  formed  from  York  1648.   York  was  orig.  Charles 
River  Co.  one  of  original  Shires.   The  Shirley  family,  as  will  be  seen, 
were  there  very  early  and  I  am  sure  this  was  the  site  of  their  original 
home  in  Virginia.

68  BENJAMIN  SHIRLEY  FAMILY  OF  VA.  AND  S.  C. 


for  Revolutionary  service  has  been  located.   Uncle  Gustavos  Adolphus 
Shirley  said  his  branch  of  the  Shirley  family  were  of  English  Royalty. 
Benjamin's  pts.  may  have  been  Richard  and  Margaret  Shirley  who  were 
dismissed  from  Broad  Run  Baptist  Church  12  June  1774,  Fauquier  Co.  Va.  to 
Culpeper  Co.,  if  so,  they  remained  there  only  shortly  for,  on  22  Jan. 
1785,  Richard  and  Margaret  Shirley  were  among  the  Charter  members  of  Old 
Turkey  Creek  Baptist  Church,  Abbeville  Co.  S.C. 

On  25  July  1784  Benjamin  Shirley  obtained,  by  purchase,  200  a.  below 
the  ancient  boundry  line  on  Turkey  Creek,  a  branch  of  Saluda  River,  adj. 
William  Robinson,  dec'd,  and  James  Smith,  recorded  3  Jan.  1785.   On  22 
Apr.  1785  he  obtained  200  a.  on  Turkey  Creek,  a  branch  of  Saluda  River, 
N.W.  adj.  James  Shirley  and  vacant  land  and,  5  Mar.  1792,  he  obtained 
841  a.  in  Abbeville  Co.  S.C.   James  Shirley,  300  a.  Rocky  River  15 
July  1784.   Land  plots  show  Benj .  Shirley  200  a.  Rocky  River,  3  Jan. 
1784.   Perhaps  related. 

He  md.  Elizabeth  Hughes,  b.  ca.  1770  Va.,  d.  Apr.  1826,  dtr.  of 
James  and  Rachel  Hughes  and  sis.  of  Edward  Hughes.   In  1790  the  family 
consisted  of  a  son  and  a  dtr.   In  1810  there  were  three  boys  and  as 
many  girls.   I  have  been  to  the  old  place  said  to  be  the  original  home  of 
Benjamin  Shirley  some  six  miles  from  the  Old  Greenvale  (Greenville) 
Presbyterian  Church  on  the  High  way  to  Hodges.   I  wonder  if  he  did  not, 
in  fact,  live  near  where  his  son,  Nathaniel,  lived  and  where  Mastin 
later  lived.   Nathaniel  and  several  of  his  family  are  buried  there.   They 
were  members  of  the  old  Greenvale  Presbyterian  Church  where  the  citation 
of  his  estate  was  published,  Abbeville  Co.  S.C.   He  died,  intestate,  Aug.

RICHARD  SHIRLEY,  b.  ca.  1712  of  Virginia.   Notice  that  he  had  a 
son,  Robert,  who  had  a  royal  land  grant  the  same  day  and  Contemporaneous 
with  him,  John  and  Thomas.   They  settled  in  Craven  and  Berkely  Co.  S.C, 
Their  first  settlement  in  S.C.  was  called  "Shirley  Town"  on  Raburn  Creek 
in  what  is  now  Laurens  Co.  S.C.   On  11  Aug.  1768  a  Royal  land  grant  of  500 
a.  surveyed  in  Berkley  Co.  on  a  branch  of  Saluda  River  called  Raburn  Cr. 
bounded  on  all  sides  by  vacant  land.   Recorded  15  Feb.  1769  sig.  John 
Caldwell.   A  man  obtained  these  Royal  land  grants  from  the  King  for 
himself  and  family,  if  he  obtained  more  than  his  head  right  of  land,  it 
was  in  payment  for  surveying,  or  for  military  services  in  the  Province, 
Richard  Shirley  md.  Mary,  surname  unknown,  and  died  between  1769  and  1775, 
intestate,  and  only  the  son,  Robert  mentioned,  probably  the  eldest  and 
under  the  old  English  custom  of  primogeniture  inherited  the  ancestral 
estate. 

INDENTURE,  10  Jan.  1775  between  Robert  Shirley  or  Craven  Co., 
planter,  and  Jane,  his  wife,  and  Mary  Shirley,  his  mother,  of  the  one

four  hundred  fifty  pounds,  hath  granted  350  a.  of  land,  it  being  the

plantation  on  which  said  Robert  Shirley  and  Mary  Shirley  now  live,  it 
being  a  part  of  500  a.  of  land  which  was  originally  granted  unto  Richard 
Shirley,  dec'd,  which  was  the  said  Robert  Shirley's  father  and  the  said 
Mary  Shirley's  husband,  situate  in  Craven  or  Berkley  Co.  on  Raburn  Creek 
waters  of  Reedy  and  Saluda  Rivers,  which  land  was  granted  unto  the  said 
Richard  Shirley  by  Hon.  Lord  Chas,  Granville  Montague,  Commander  in  Chief 
of  the  Province  of  S»C.,  15  Feb.  1769,  signed,  Robert  Shirley,  Jane  Shirley 
and  Mary  Shirley,  wit.  David  Cunningham,  Godfrey  Isbell  and  Joseph  Pinson«

to  their  signatures.   Note  that  some  thirteen  years  had  elapsed  before  he 
made  oath  as  a  wit.  to  their  sig.   This  was  not  unusual  in  those  days, 
but  may  have  been  about  the  time  the  place  was  sold  again. 

The  Shirley  plantation  located  on  Raburn  Creek  on  Saluda  River,  was 
near  what  was  later  called  "Shirley  Town"  on  the  line  of  Abbeville  and

THOMAS  SHIRLEY,  (of  #1)  b.  ca.  1740.   One  Thomas  Shirley  served 
in  Colonial  Wars  from  S.C.  under  Col.  Richard  Richardson  from  Carven 
Co.  S.C,  1759-1760,  in  the  expedition  against  the  Cherokee  Indians, 
On  4  June  1772  Thomas  Shirley  a  tract  of  500  a.  on  Roberts  Cr.  of 
Pacolet  River,  Craven  Co.  bounded  by  vacant  land.   On  same  day  a  tract 
of  land  500  a.  adj.  his  own  land  on  Roberts  Cr.  of  Pacolet  River.   On 
26  Sep.  1772,  500  a.  in  Craven  Co.  on  Wateree  Cr.  of  the  Catawba  River,

Cr.  of  Pacolet  River  where  it  empties  into  the  Broad  River.   This 
2150  a.  could  not  have  been  a  head  right  and  no  note  as  to  his  being 
a  surveyor,  consequently  it  is  thought  these  grants  were  for  military 
service  to  the  Crown.   He  may  have  sold  before  the  war  and  the  conveyances 
in  Charleston.   A  Memorial  tax  return  is  recorded  in  Charleston,  8  Dec. 
1772,  for  Thomas  Shirley.   These  lands  were  in  what  was  then  Spartanburg 
and  York  Co.   In  1790  in  Spartanburg  was  a  Thomas  Shirley,  his  wife, 
one  son  o/16,  3  sons  u/16  and  4  dtrs.   Some  of  the  name  Shirley  were

Shirley.   Benjamin, Sealy  and  William  Turley  thought  to  be  Shirley,

ELIJAH  (ELI)  SHIRLEY,  (of  #2)  b.  ca.  1768.   There  is  no  doubt  that 
Robert  Shirley  had  a  son,  Elijah,  however  there  were  too  many  of  the  name 
to  identify.   Could  he  be  the  Elijah  Shirley  who  joined  Turkey  Creek  Baptist 
Church  11  May  1793  or  the  Elijah,  son  of  Thomas  Shirley?   One  Elijah  was

In  the  Roman  Catholic  Church  Thaddeus  is  same  as  Nathaniel.   In  the

On  23  Apr.  1653  William  Blackey  recorded  100  a.  for  the  transportation 
of  Robert  Speare  and  John  Young.   Frequently  the  transfers  of  land  were 
not  recorded  untiil  years  after  the  transaction.   Little  Queens 
Creek  is  located  on  Western  boundry  of  Hampton  Parish,  New  Kent  Co.  Va, 
Because  of  the  absence  of  early  records  it  is  difficult  to  determine 
much  of  his  life,  however  in  1678  St.  Peters  Parish  was  established 
from  Blisland  Parish  and  though  the  records  are  fragmentary,  on  4  May 
1689  in  persuance  of  an  act  of  the  Assembly  enjoyning  and  remarking  of

It  is  thought  because  Sims  Speer  was  growing  old  and  because  he  did  not

md.  21  Dec.  1847  Walhalla,  S.C.  Susanna  Adaline  Terrell,  b.  1827,  d.  13 
Sep.  1873,  ae.  46,  of  typhoid  fever  near  So.  Union,  Oconee  Co.  S.C,  dtr. 
of  Aaron  and  Clarissa  Terrell  of  Pickens  Co.  S.C.   Dad  knew  cousin  Kit, 
admired  his  fine  singing  voice  and  recalled  he  was  a  prominent  Educator. 
It  is  said  he  took  a  book  to  the  field  and  read  instead  of  working  to  the 
despair  of  his  family.   "Rev.  C.  H.  Speer  was  the  first  teacher  chosen 
for  White  Rock  Academy,  he  taught  the  school  for  five  years  and  raised  it 
to  a  high  position,  attracting  students  from  various  parts  of  the  State. 
The  closing  exercises  became  famous  and  were  attended  by  people  from  miles 
around.   He  was  an  example  of  what  one  can  accomplish  who  will.   He 
never  attended  school  until  he  was  grown,  and  so  awkward  and  ill  at  ease 
was  he  among  the  small  children  that  he  felt  almost  in  despair,  but 
his  teacher  encouraged  him  and  induced  him  to  continue.  With  his  kindly 
help,  the  ambitious  youth  soon  passed  two  or  three  classes  and  by  the  end 
of  the  first  term  was  with  boys  almost  his  own  age.   Those  early  difficulties 
made  him  an  unusually  sympathetic  and  a  very  successful  teacher.   He 
took  up  the  work  early,  and  often  found  himself  only  a  few  days  work 
ahead  of  his  pupils.   He  became  a  Methodist  Minister  and  was  noted  for 
his  fine  singing  voice.   After  teaching  at  White  Rock,  he  went  to 
Clearmont  Academy  but  the  people  of  the  community  requested  his  return, 
he  went  back  and  for  four  years  taught  with  all  of  his  former  success. 
He  died  Sep.  1873  of  typhoid  fever,  while  teaching  at  White  Rock  and  was 
buried  in  the  nearby  Church  Yard.   Pts.  of  9  ch. ,  ref.  Vandiver  p.  101,

13  Oct.  1959,  only  child  of  Robert  Ira  and  Elizabeth  Carolyn  (Armstrong) 
Watson.   Dad  was  given  a  plantation  by  his  father  and  mother  was 
given  one  by  her  mother,  however  they  joined  the  L.  D.  S.  Church. 
Opposition  was  so  intense  that  they  chose  to  come  West;  they  arrived 
in  Pima  Arizona  in  Dec.  1900  with  Mother's  half  bro.  ,  Uncle  G.  A. 
Shirley  family.   Soon  they  moved  to  the  Hildreath  place  where  grand- 
mother Watson  visited  the  family.   Dad  filed  on  a  homestead  which  was 
then  available  in  Arizona,  where  they  lived  until  1915  when  we  moved 
to  Lay  ton  Ariz.,  then  in  1920  to  Inglewood  Calif.   Aunt  Rachel  also 
came  West.   She  lived  in  Layton  Ariz,  but  the  boys  had  girls  in  Ga. 
so  they  returned  in  1905.   Mother  went  back  to  Georgia  in  1902  where 
William  was  born.   Jonnie  stayed  with  Grandpa  Speer 's  family  until 
his  death  in  1904  at  which  time  Dad  and  I  went  back.   She  returned 
with  us.   Dad  was  a  successful  farmer,  raised  alfalfa  seed  and 
stock.   He  played  the  organ,  had  a  lovely  voice  and  a  fine  sense 
of  humor,  loved  to  tell  stories  with  negro  and  Spanish  dialect. 
He  traveled  with  01  McKinney,  a  cousin,  when  young  tuning  organs, 
always  sat  on  the  back  seat  at  church  but  was  always  asked  to 
play  the  organ.   They  both  rest  together,  Inglewood  Park  Cem.,

MILTON  (MITT)  PYLES  TRIBBLE,  (of  #22)  b.  27  Aug.  1840  Laurens  Co. 
S.  C.   He  joined  the  Confederate  Army  Apr.  1861,  served  until  close  of 
hostilities.   It  is  not  known  when  he  settled  in  Anderson,  however  some 
of  his  children  bom  in  Newberry  Co.   In  1880  he  was  elected  treasurer 
of  the  Co.  and  in  1884  Clerk  of  the  Court,  in  1894  appointed  Postmaster 
of  Anderson,  served  until  1898.   In  1902  he  became  a  member  of  the  State 
Legislature,  re-elected  in  1904,  died  15  Jan.  1909  of  Bright's  disease. 
"The  first  paternal  ancestor  to  settle  in  this  country  was  EZEKIEL 
TRIBBLE,  of  Scotch-Irish  blood,  who  came  from  Ireland  to  Va.  and,  ca. 
1790,  settled  in  S.  C.   The  mother  of  the  subject  of  this  sketch  was 
descended  from  Dr.  Abner  Pyles ,  of  French  Huguenot  extraction".   Dr. 
Abner  Pyles  was  his  gr.  father,  however  his  Tribble  gr.  father  was 
Jeremiah,  which  leads  one  to  wonder  if  he  knew  his  Tribble  gr.  pts.  and 
if  Mr.  James  Calvin  Hemphill  verified  his  record  from  any  source  other 
than  tradition.   I  feel  confident  that  cousin  Emma  Martin  and  others 
obtained  their  information  from  the  above  article  which  may  be  in  error. 
The  only  verification  of  the  name  EZEKIEL  is  that  Lemuel  Williamson  so 
named  his  first  son.   He  also  named  ch.,  Mary  and  Oliver  Brown. 
Jeremiah  named  a  son  Elijah  as  did  Richardson.   He  md.  28  Oct.  1868
