Hi everyone, Just wanted to follow up to the response to my last query regarding Chamberlins of Colchester, Connecticut. As I believe I indicated, I don't know how accurate the year and place of birth is for Joseph Chamberlin; the notes indicate year of birth 1653; however, as I don't know who took the notes and placed them in the old Chamberlin Bible, I don't know if it's accurate or not. The notes list the following as the children and grandchildren of Joseph Chamberlin: Children: William, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 60 Freedom, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 60 Joseph II, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 56 Benjamin I, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 64 John, I, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 52 Two daughters, names not listed. Grandchildren: Children of William: Pelig, William, John, Nathaniel, Ebinezer, Joel, and six daughters Children of Freedom: Freedom, Annos, and two daughters Children of Joseph: Joseph III, Job and two daughters Children of Benjamin: Wyatt, Oliver, Elijah, Benjamin II, one daughter Children of John: John III, Eliphalet, Joseph, IV, Benjamin III, Elisha, and five daughters. If I'm reading the notes correctly, Joseph the IV had children, Martin, Jacob, Cad, Dan and five daughters. Jacob lived in Dalton, Massachusetts and was a farmer and manufacturer. His children included an Ephraim Chamberlin; presumably 'my' Ephraim Chamberlain, father of John W. Chamberlin. If anyone on the list can verify or refudiate the above, please contact me. Hope
