PARENTS

Thomas' death certificate is the only one of his three siblings born out of wedlock that give the name of Thomas Gillespie as the father. Alifair Chambers Christian's death certificate gave Chapman Elswick as her father, Elbert Wade Chambers had no names for his parents. For Alifair's descendants, her real father's name was not known, but evidently for the children of Emmeline and Chapman Elswick, the name was known but not talked about outside the family. John McClintock, Jr. told me what the family stories were, but there was no confirmation until Thomas D. Chamber's death certificate.

Notes:

Died from a bullet wound inflicted by Bliss Altizer during a card game. Joan Banner, a daughter of Celia, said that Tom drew on Bliss, but the bullet hit the holster so Bliss then fired at Tom, mortally wounding him. Tom as taken by the other participants into a field of cut corn, propped him up against cornshucks, unconscious and bleeding. The nex morning he was found dead. He is buried in the Whitaker Cemetery on Whitaker Ridge.

16 Dec 1921 Clinch Valley News
Tom SHORT, a well known citizen of the Whitaker Ridge Community, was shot and killed Saturday afternoon last about 2 o'clock, on "Grassy Spur" by Bliss ALTIZER, who is also well known in that community. The shooting, according to information reaching this office, was the result of a poker game, in which the men had been engaged prior to the shooting. At the conclusion of the game the men separated, going in opposite directions, when without warning, SHORT shot ALTIZER with a pistol, the bullet penetrating his body. ALTIZER immediately turned and emptied a load load of bird shot into SHORT'S body, inflicting a wound from which he died a short time afterwards. ALTIZER was given a preliminary hearing, Magistrate HEAVERS, presiding, and released on a $1,000 bond for appearance here in court. From the information we have received it appears the shooting of SHORT was justifiable. SHORT is survived by a wife and one child, and was about 25 years old. He served five years in the US Army.

23 Dec 1921 Clinch Valley News
Bandy, Va. December 17. Editor the News: Please correct the mistake of the poker game and killing of Tom SHORT, as it was done on the Altizer Ridge, a distance of three or four miles from Whitaker Ridge. Give the Whitaker Ridge justice. M.S. WHITAKER.

Notes:

Lavelle lists Clarence Joyce and Minnie Chambers as her parents on her marriage and social security information, but she's listed as the daughter of Chapman and Ida Chambers in 1930 while Minnie is working as a servant in Richlands. She isn't with Minnie and Clarence in the 1940 Census or with her grandmother who is living next door.

Was she the child of Chapman and Ida who was adopted by Minnie and Clarence? Or was she the daughter of Minnie and another man? Given her age, Minnie would have had this child when she was around 13.
