The below notes I have for Samuel Chamberlain whose will proves that his
dau. Elizabeth was married to my ancestor Sampson Lanier. HOWEVER For YEARS
I have looked for HIS parents and background.
Does anyone have any info on parents, his background or any connection to
this Samuel Chamberlain.?
Samuel Chamberlain's will dated 14 Sept -prob 28 Oct 1752, Brunswick Co, VA
Bk 3 p 84-names besides dau. Elizabeth, a son William "oldest son and heir";
No others named . Wit John Wall,JR, Philip Adams& Philip Swanson; EXR:
Sampson Lanier
Since it says "oldest son" were there others?
Is any of the below relavent to above Samuel Chamberlain? PLEASE SOMEONE out
there help solve this long hard battle for parents.
Vol II Cavaliers & Pioneers-a Samuel had 200 a. New Kent co,VA, St Paul's
Parish 22 Jan 1717.; prop. 1728 Hanover Co,VA, 1730 was "of Hanover" and had
property Brunswick, adj. Wm Reynolds Swanson's Corner; 1731 was "of Surry"
had 400 a. Prince George CO. (Was he immigrant in 1717?) Could he be son of
Thomas Chamberlain and Wilhelmina Byrd?
Thanks for any help or suggestions. I am desperate. Sarah B
