Posted on: CHAMBERLIN Queries Board URL: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/h/CHAMBERLIN/queries?read=4 Surname: Chamberlin, Chamberlain, Bridges, Weir, Franks, Ward, Archibald, Faloon, Strout, Horn, Mitchell, Peterson ------------------------- I am looking for information on the James & Mary (Peterson) Chamberlin/Chamberlain Family. James was born November 9, 1801 in Augusta, Kennebec County, Maine. Son of John Chamberlin/Chamberlain and Mary Brown. He married Mary Peterson August 20, 1823 in Burnham, Kennebec County, Maine. Mary was the daughter of William & Martha (Myrick) Peterson. James & Mary had 14 children: Samuel (married Eliza Hannah Bridges), Otis (married Eliza Ann Weir Franks), Emmons Kingsbury (married 1st Sarah Ward & 2nd Almeda Archibald), Josiah (or Joseph) Chandlier (married Permelia Bridges), William (married Mathilda Faloon), Walter (married Sarah E. Strout), Lorenzo (married 1st Addie Horn & 2nd Elaina Mitchel), Emily, Julia, Mary, James, Phebe, Charles, & Etta. I have met several Descendants of James's Family and they have spread out all over from Maine to Minnesota, Washington, Idaho, California, Hawaii, and some say Canada, however I have not been able to prove the Canada theory. If you may have anything on the above names - PLEASE REPLY!!! nkj@spacestar.net
