Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/AUI.2ACIB/235.1 Message Board Post: For the benefit of all Chamberlain/lin researchers, I'm providing the following information about this family. Joseph(7) Chamberlin [John(6), Lewis(5), John(4), Henry(3), John(2), Henry(1)], was born 13 Jan 1776, prob. Kingwood Twp., Hunterdon Co., PA, d. 29 Aug 1863, Shamokin Twp., Hunterdon Co., NJ, married Mary Young, 29 Oct 1797. She was born 20 Sep 1780, NJ, perhaps Hunterdon Co., parents unknown, d. 10 Dec 1861, prob. Shamokin Twp.; 12 children listed, 6 of whom have actual birth dates recorded. The one you mentioned, Mary, who m. Mahlon Hull, was born c1807, and they died sometime after 1863, when she received an equal share of the division of her father's estate, and was living in Wisconsin. I have no other informtion about them. According to the Chamberlain Chain, Vol. 24, p. 22, the name of her husband was Rese Wisler, but this has not been confirmed. Joseph & Mary are buried in the Upper Valley M. E. Church cemetery, Northumberland Co., PA. My research notes for Joseph Chamberlin, who is identified as LN986, in the professionally prepared Family Group Records of the genealogist, David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr., contain reference to his Will, which names his heirs and which has been reprinted a couple of places in recent years. Also, a biographical sketch, in J. L. Floyd's History of Northumberland Co., pp. 123-148 (available online) also names his children, with paragraphs about his son Cabel and Cabel's son Lewis; his son Isaac and Isaac's son Silas; and his son Lemuel and Lemuel's son Joseph H. I have collected census data for this family, data for about 120 Chamberlin descendants of Joseph, as well as a list of those contact persons researching this family who have posted in GenForum and elsewhere, that you may wish to make contact with to share information. Please contact me via Email, <jbparker@provide.net>, if you wish to discuss any of this information in greater detail.
