I'm looking for information regarding my ggg grandparents John CHAMBERLIN & Elizabeth LOBDELL. According to the LDS search info she was born ca 1806 in Westport, Essex Co., NY. The site also has her middle name as "Betsey". I've found one reference of a Betsey LOBDELL m. John CHAMBERLAIN from the New England Historical & Genealogical Society, but without any dates. The locality of the LOBDELL family is Westport, NY. NEHGS information lists Betsey's parents as Sylvanus LOBDELL & Eliza Ann KNAPP. My gg grandma Francis "Fannie" Fidelia CHAMBERLAIN was their daughter. Fannie was b. 23 Jul 1824, Westport, Essex Co., NY. She married Hiram BALLOU 11 Mar 1841, in Greggsville, Pike Co., IL. The 1880 Fed Census lists her father's birth place as RI. Hiram BALLOU was b. ca 1813, possibly in VT (according to the 1850 Census). I also have 29 Mar 1815, Westmoreland, Cheshire Co., NH as his birth information. Hiram's father was Ichabod BALLOU b. 4 May 1790, South Parish, Mendon, Worcester Co., MA, d. 9 May 1879, Keene, Cheshire Co., NH. Hiram's mother was Philia Philena BALLOU b. 1791 (she was a 4 cousin once removed from her husband), d. 1817. Both are descended from Maturin BALLOU & Hannah PIKE (I have some of the information, but not the documentation for tracing back to Maturin). If anyone can help me with information about these families, I'd be overjoyed. Thanks, Tim Sherman Oregon TimDS1957@mac.com
