WELCOME

The Chumleys of Claiborne County, Tennessee is about the first recorded Chumleys, namely Robert and Betsy Chumley and their descendants.  There have been many who have researched this family line for many years and with the combined efforts, experience, and supportive data, this site is meant to provide information uniquely specific to the Robert and Betsy Chumley family line and to give an update on the progress of the book we are writing on this family line. Updates will be posted on the “Our Book” page.

This is a work in the making and I will be updating and adding information as time allows.  If you have any questions or have information you would like to share, you can either post a note on my Contact Me page or contact me directly at:

I am sure that 1990 called and wanted their computer back, as it was acting up and getting reallllllyyyy slow. I don’t have the patience for slow. When Read more
