The family originally lived in Great Bend TWP Susquehanna Co PA, and the next generation up spelled the name CHAMBERLAIN. Any of this familiar to you? Thanks for the Owego Hx Soc adress...I have soon need to check wuith them re: another family surname. Jeannette

Slosson, Slawson and other variations are, so far as I know, all the same family. A genealogy by D. William Patterson was published in The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, over several issues beginning July 1872, Vol.3, No.3. My grandfather, Theodore Chamberlain of Newark Valley, married Maria Eloise Slosson, daughter of Ozias Judd Slosson and Ann (Fisher) Slosson, in 1868 in Newark Valley. I have information on the line from Nathaniel of Norwalk, CT (1700s), to Kent, CT, to Mass, then to Union, Maine & Lisle in Broome Co. and to Newark Valley & possibly Richford in Tioga Co. One branch joined the Shaker Colony in New Lebanon, NY. Others moved elsewhere in New York State, some went west. Your Slawsons are probably descended from one of these lines. If you can get the line back far enough, try to get hold of the NYG&B Record mentioned above. Vol's 3 & 4 are on microfilm #599162, which you can rent at your local LDS Family History Center. Let me know if I can be of further help.

There might be a connection to one of several Chamberlain families who moved from Vermont to Silver Lake in Susquehanna County, PA in 1814. My gr-gr-grandfather Daniel Chamberlain, his wife Lydia (Webster), and children lived in Silver Lake, Susquehanna Co. for a couple of years before moving to Newark Valley in Tioga Co., NY. Several of his children and the other families apparently stayed in Silver Lake or moved elsewhere. I have the line back to William Chamberlain, one of the founders of Shawsin (changed to Billerica) in Middlesex Co., Massachusetts in the mid-1600s. The family moved to New Hampshire, where Daniel Sr. and his father Ebenezer served in Col. Bedell's New Hampshire Regiment during the Revolution. After the Revolution, Daniel married Lydia Webster of Plymouth, NH. In 1800 & 1810 they were living in Caledonia Co., VT, where Daniel Jr. was born. They went to Silver Lake in 1814. In 1819 he had his pension transferred to New York, as he planned to move near a son in Broome County. Sometime after the 1820 census, but before 1830, they moved to a farm in north Newark Valley, Tioga Co. Daniel Jr. went to Iowa, but came back, then married Esther Farrand, daughter of David and Mary (Bacon) Farrand of north Newark Valley. Their son Theodore (my grandfather) married Maria Eloise Slosson. If you can make any connection in Silver Lake or would like additional information, let me know.
