I am seeking information on my ancestral family. William Chamberlain and his wife Amelia
McIntosh lived in Kentucky. Family lore says they or their parents came from Ireland.
William was born March 17, 1772 and died January 10, 1854 at Lookout, Ripley County,
Indiana. "Millie" was born December 15, 1774 and died Sept. 22, 1843. She too
died at Lookout, Ripley County, IN. According to the combined 1810-1840 census, they must
have had 14 children who were listed. I know the names of 4: Robert born circa 1800.
Elizabeth - May 12, 1805 Boone County, KY; Parthena August 23, 1807, KY; and Samuel Vance
born May 17, 1818 in Indiana. The family was probably in Estill Co., KY for the 1810
census. They were in Florence, Switzerland County, IN by 1813, and in Ripley County, IN
for the 1820, 1830, and 1840 census. I have not located William in the 1850 census yet.
He should also be in the Ripley County one. I would like to discover their parentage and
more of their children.
Thank you for your help.
