Last night on
www.findagrave.com I found out that the particular individual we are dealing
with died 15 October 1884 in Fairmont, Fillmore, Nebraska, and he was buried in the
Fairmont Cemetery. The information on the record says he was married twice. His 1st wife
and he had 1 son and 3 daughters, but nothing else was given on them. He and Rachel were
married in Greenville, Mercer, Pennsylvania on 27 September 1868, and they moved to
Nebraska from Illinois in 1873. I knew the family had gone from Pennsylvania to Illinois
briefly. Rachel died in Fairmont on 20 January 1895. While the censuses said J. R., the
death record says Jacob R. I know there was a J. Randall Chamberlain born in Middletown,
Middlesex, Connecticut 27 November 1810. From what you know about your 2g grandfather,
does it seem reasonable that this Jacob R. Chamberlain is the same person?
