I have deleted the original message, so I am not sure of the original question..so hope that this information is helpful to someone in some way! Calvin T. Chamberlain was postmaster of Cuba, Cattaraugus Co., NY twice. He was appointed 3/21/1834 and then again on 8/21/1857. Cuba was originally established as "Oil Creek", but the name was changed to Cuba in May 1824. My source is the USPS website.
