Find a Grave is the only source that I can find except some ancestry trees that sources are not evident.

Wikitree https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Chambers-1286 states:

Biography
Her parents are unknown. The only source for parents are unsourced trees. According to her Find-a-Grave memorial, she was the daughter of Edward and Elizabeth (Harrison) Chambers[1] The only reference to the surname Chambers is a Sons of the American Revolution application which shows her as "Miss Chambers of Hanover County, Virginia."[2]

According to a genealogy query in 'Heart's Sunday American' of 20 Sep 1931 by Mrs. Hugh A. Haralson (seeking Mary Chamber's parents' names), Mary and Peter had children John, Burgess, Paul, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Agnes, and Sarah. This states that they married circa 1715 in Hanover, Virginia and Peter died in 1732.
