I see the 1880 Census lists her birthplace as Alabama, about 1857. Also I see that there
are no Chamberlain's (various spellings as listed below) listed in Lincoln Co., TN in
1860, 1870 or 1880.
- 1880 Census, District 18, Lincoln Co., TN, Columbus Mullins, p. 230B, #327/240, 18 Jun
1880, age 23, TN/TN/TN; Assena, age 21, AL/AL/Unknown, illiterate; Patrick B., age 1,
TN/TN/TN; Virginia M., age 11/12, b. April, TN/TN/TN
It is unlikely, though possible, that her surname was originally spelled Chamberland.
Where did you obtain the surnames you listed, of Chamblee, Shamby, Shamblee, Shamley?
More likely her surname was Chamberlain, Chamberlin, Shamblen, Shamblin, Chamblin,
Chamblen, etc. I searched my Census listings (1860 & 1870) in Alabama for these
names, but don't find her listed there. I DID NOT search the
Ancestry.com Census
database for the surname spellings you listed - I'll leave this for you to do. Please
contact me, James B. Parker, via Email, at jbparker(a)provide.net, if you wish to discuss
this information.
