Hi Group~ I am looking for ties to John CHAMBERLAIN or CHAMBERLIN b. 1758 probably in Amenia, NY. His father was also John Chamberlain, who m. Margaret or Matilda Atherton of Dutchess Co, NY or possibly the Wyoming Valley PA area. Sometime after the Revolutionary War, I am quite sure the first John b. 1758 m Eleanor Kinnan or Canaan. Daughter of John Kinnan. Eleanor was said to have been born in NY and I have reason to believe it was the Orange Co., NY. A John Chamberlain shows up first in Hardiston township in 1790, and then Newton later.John and Eleanor's son John b. 1784 was definitely married in Newton, Sussex Co, NJ. My question is...was the John Chamberlin listed in the 1790 tax list in Hardiston, my John Chamberlain, I am looking for as father to John b. 1784? How can I prove who John b. 1784's father was? I have by family tradition it was: Descendants of John Chamberlain 1 John Chamberlain b: Bet. 1735 - 1740 in CT or NY d: in Amenia, NY or NJ? . +Matilda or Margaret Atherton b: Bet. 1735 - 1740 in MA/CT d: Amenia NY or NJ ? . 2 John Chamberlain b: Bet. 1758 - 1762 in NY d: in ? .... +Eleanor Canaan b: Abt. 1765 in NY d: in ?

My John was pretty much ruled out as being the Brother of Benjamin who showed up in Sparta, Sussex Co., NJ Thanks for any replies, Penny Kresl e-mail: kresl@elknet.net Penny's Genealogy: http://www.elknet.net/kresl/Penny/penny.html Delavan, WI.USA
