Porter Twp., Scioto Co., OH, d. 1847, is believed (definitely unproven) by some researchers to be one of eleven children of Anson(6) Chamberlin [Oliver(5), Benjamin(4), Joseph(3), William(2), Henry(1), b. 27 Feb 1782, Weathersfield, Windsor Co., VT, d. 27 Dec 1862, Scioto Co., OH, and his wife Mary Montgomery, b. 6 Jan, 1793, PA, d. 6 Jul 1852, Scioto Co., OH, m. 29 Mar 1814, Scito Co., OH. Marie/Maria married, 4 Jan 1838, Scioto Co., OH, Osborn White, b. 7 Jan 1820, d. 1845 or 1847, with four children listed for them. Osborn White was the son of Daniel White (who married Sarah Comfort), whose sister Mary White, married Anson Chamberlin's nephew, Wyatt(7) Chamberlin. This Wyatt Chamberlin, b. 26 Jun 1790, Pomfret, Windsor Co., VT, is the son of Wyatt(6) Chamberlin, b. 26 Dec 1763, East Windsor, Hartford Co., CT, who married Dolly (-?-), and who is the eldest brother of Anson Chamberlin, with about 19 years separating the ages of ! these two brothers. As might be expected, some persons have confused these two Wyatts, so beware of this. Wyatt(7) is the person you listed in your posting. He married Mary "Polly" White, 15 Oct 1813, Scioto Co., OH, and died 16 Feb 1856 there, with his wife dying 4 days later. They are buried in the private Chamberlin Cemetery in Porter Twp.; I have a list of Chamberlin burials there, which includes "Mary White w/o Wyatt d Feb 20, 1856 age 65y 1m 20d", and a gravestone for Wyatt with the top missing: "-, Died February 16, 1856, aged 65 years, 8 months, - days." It has not gone unnoticed by me that this couple is said to have had a daughter named Mary, b. c1824, about whom nothing is known - she could be the same Mary who married Osborn White, I suppose, though, if so, she would have been rather young at the time (assuming that her estimated birth date of c1824 has any validity). What makes things much more confusing, indeed, is that the Chamberlain genealogist, David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr., in his formal Family Group Record for Anson Chamberlin, lists a different Mary (instead of Marie/Maria who married Osborn White), as a daughter in this family. This Mary Chamberlin is listed at home with her parents in the 1850 Census, age 29. DCC says she was married (don't know when. but sometime well before her father's death in 1862, and other persons dispute that she was married) and had a daughter Kate (who married J. W. Burke). According to Anson's 26 Feb 1862 Will, not settled until 2 Jan 1870, he named his daughter Mary Chamberlain and her daughter Kate, and he leaves his home to them (when Anson's estate was settled Mary sold the home to her sister, Mahala, wife of Abel White). So, this Mary and Marie/Maria cannot be the same persons, since Marie/Maria died in 1847. All of this confusion needs to be sorted out sometime, if possible. I have census and other detailed information here for this family, together with my research notes from my correspondence with several other persons actively researching this family.
