There is reasonable proof that John T. Chamberland's father was John Chamberland b.
1848/1850 in Tennessee.
The 1880 census shows that John had four children: Johney (my great-grandmother), Jenney
(Virginia Florence, who married Alonzo/Andrew Sears), Clarence & Barkley.
The 1910 census has Virginia Sears (misspelled Tears) living in Cimarron, NM, with her
husband, children, mother-in-law & brother John T. Schamberles. Clarence was also in
NM at this time.
The 1920 census has both Virginia and John T in Colorado (along with two other siblings
born in the early 1880's, Henry Harris & Laura (who married children of Tilitha
Bills Templeton Chamberland - John's 3rd or 4th wife).
John Chamberland had at least 9 children before he married Tilitha.
Hope this info helps. Please email if you have any questions.
