Historia biográfica
Marjorie Chambers (1894-1988?) was the granddaughter of Major Robert Chambers (1811-1881) and his wife Catherine Lucas Nesbitt (1823-1877) who were early settlers in Norwich Ontario. Marjorie was a teacher who lived at Kennevar, the family farm near Woodstock, Ontario with her sisters Bessie and Louise. The Chambers family came from County Tyrone, Ireland. Pioneer Robert Chambers (1770-1831) brought his family to Canada in 1819. His son Major Robert Chambers (1811-1877) and his wife Catherine Lucas Nesbitt (1823-1877) settled near Norwich, Ontario were their two daughters; Eliza and Kate and four sons; Robert, James, William Nesbitt and John Nesbitt were born. The family history demonstrated a strong commitment to higher education with many attending Queen's University in Kingston and Princeton University in New Jersey. The Chambers family values were to use higher education in support God's work. Many family members worked as missionaries upon graduation.
