Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AUI.2ACIB/163.1 Message Board Post: This family is listed in Census records as follows: - 1850 Census, Mill Creek Pct., Jo Daviess Co., IL, V? M. B. Chamberlain, p. 144, #735/739, age 36, collier, $240, b. MA; Clymena, age 30, b. PA; Agnes, age 3, b. IL; N? B. (male), age 1, b. IL. Based on your posting, it would appear that this is William B. Chamberlain/lin, who you say came from NH. Mormon/LDS online Family Search site IGI records list the following: William B. Chamberlin, m. Climena Owen, 14 Jan 1841, Warren, IL. There are several IGI birth records listed for persons named Climena Owen - she might be one of them. Emily Irene Chamberlin, b. 25 Dec, 1851, Galena, Jo Daviess Co., IL, dau. of William B. Chamberlain & Climena (no other children listed). According to my IL Atlas, Warren is a village in Stephenson Co., along the IA border and just east of Jo Daviess Co., IL. I do not know the identity of William B. Chamberlain/lin's parents, but there are some persons in my research files, who remain untraced, whose name and age match. There are two other C! amberlain families listed in Jo Daviess Co., IL in 1850 - both untraced; also 3 other Chamberlin famlies listed in Stephenson Co., IL in 1850 - all of them traced as descendants of Henry(1) Chamberlin. Other nearby counties could be examined as well. Records in this area should be checked to see what they reveal. Please contact me via Email if you wish additional information or discussion.
