CHAMBERS, George, jurist, born in Chambers-burg, Pennsylvania, in 1786; died there, 25 March, 1866. He was graduated at Princeton in 1804, studied law under Judge Duncan, of Carlisle, was admitted to the bar in 1807, and at Chambersburg soon rose to the front rank of his profession. He was elected a member of congress in 1833, and re-elected in 1835. He was also a member of the convention that formed the present constitution of Pennsylvania. In 1851 Governor Johnston appointed him one of the judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. He was much interested in the early history of his state and county, and published some of his researches in his "Tribute to the Scotch-Irish," and had embodied others in a manuscript history prepared for the Pennsylvania historical society, which was destroyed when the Confederates burned Cham-bersburg in 1864. In 1861 he received the degree of LL.D. from Washington College, Pennsylvania
