Jackie~
First off, I want to say thank you very much for printing these John
Chamberlain's in the Revolution!!!
I am looking for what regiment the below men were from. A John Chamberlain
is mentioned from Mercer Co, near
Princeton, NJ.
If someone could help me figure this out, I'd be forever grateful! My John,
I believe was from Amenia NY when he answered the call. He was captured by
the British at the Battle of Brandywine where he was thrown on a British POW
Ship in Delaware Bay. I believe this article mentioned in Harpers was him
along with many other's who suffered in the hands of the Tories and British.
Can someone tell me where I can find more information about this John
Chamberlain mentioned as a Revolutionary soldier in these articles?
As I said I have personal information that my John Chamberlain(5x
great) was captured by the British and put aboard a British Prisoner of
War ship at the Battle of Brandywine in Delaware bay. I have a personal
account story of it from an ancestor that wrote a story in 1855. I believe
this John was the one I am looking for. He later went on to m. an Eleanor
Kinnan or I have it spelled Cannan and that may be incorrect) and they may
have moved to Sussex Co, NJ where his son John met and married Mary Little
or Littell of Newton, NJ. in 1810.Their marriage shows up in Sussex Co NJ
Vitals in 1810
I would like to obtain this article from Harper's...How might I go about
getting a copy?
Does anyone know? Thanks for any help on this!!
