Chamberlin. Apparently sometime in 1876, Will Chamberlin's parents moved the family from Manhattan, Kansas to the Sierra Nevada Mountains of western California. They lived for a time in Alameda, then Truckee, then Grass Valley, and finally Oakland. By 1880, Will Chamberlin had moved down the coast to Cambria, California where he took employment teaching school. His mother was Mary Parker Chamberlin and he had brothers named Vincent and Nathan.
