In the book "Descendants of Benjamin Chamberlain"
Page 40, is listed Hiram (son of Joseph). There are
no dates but it says Hiram married Delia Ann FLATT
and had Mahlon and Cynthia. He married second Mary
KIMBALL. It goes on to say Hiram was a bloomer in
his father's forge at Russia but afterwards kept hotel at Carbondale, Pa and
died there. Children of Mary and Hiram: Elizabeth, Adelaide, Phrona.
I am searching for the parents of Amelia CHAMBERLAIN born November
7. 1857 in Huntsville, Greene Township, New Jersey. She married George
Elmer SLAGHT September 20, 1879. She died September 2, 1949 and is
buried in Newton Cemetery, Newton, NJ.
Some of the above information came from her death certificate (the
informant was her son Albert Mahlon SLAGHT). Oddly, the information
concerning her parents includes only a notation for "mother's maiden
name" and all that was included was the name CHAMBERLAIN. No
notation concerning the father.
In an interview with Amelia's daughter Elizabeth in the 1980s, she said
Amelia's mother was Sarah FLATT CHAMBERLAIN and I made a notation
of a date -November 7, 1813. Unfortunately, I did not note what that
date was - a birth date???
Any help will be gratefully received. I have a goodly amount of information
concerning her descendants that I will be happy to share.
