For years I have hoped to find more about my Chamberlain. Samuel was born
ca/1680/85 most likely in Va. I have his will dated 14 Sep 1752 in Brunswick
Co, VA. It was dated the abov e and probated 28 Oct 1752. Bk 3, p 84--names dau.
Elizabeth, a son William as "oldest son and heir"/.No others were named. The
Exr. of will was Sampson Lanier who was daughter Elizabeth's husband.
In Vol 2 of Cavaliers & Pioneers-a Samuel had 200 acr. New Kent Co Va, St
Paul's Parish 22 Jan, 1717; prop. 1728 "of Hanover Co," Va and 1730 was
"of
Hanover" and had property Brunswick, adj. Wm Reynolds, Swanson's Corner;, 1731
was "of Surry" and had 400 a. Prince George Co.
Could this all be the same man and be son of Thomas and Wilhelmina (Byrd)
Chamberlain ????
I have had the above for 20+ years but can never find any other person on
this line. Or can't complete. But I did get Samuel's will when I lived in Va.
Help or info will be deeply appreciated.
