Family lore and myth: It was long rumored that his father was an Indian that lived near his family farm. DNA has proven this is not the case. DNA Note: There is no native American blood in his descendants line carried over through his son: "Andrew Jackson Chambers" (1862 - 1909), or Grandson "Leonard Clarence Chambers Sr." (1904 - 1969), or Great Grandson "Jack Lee Chambers" (1930 - 2010) or Great Great Grandson "Steven S. Chambers". Both male and female lines have been tested and that is the end of that myth and fabricated story.
