After checking my Chamberlain records here, and available data online in
Ancestry.com
(several listings for this couple and their children there), LDS-IGI records, and so
forth, I have come up with the same result as you have reported - Polly's parents
remain unknown. I do see that the 1820 & 1830 census lists an Ithamar Chamberlain,
Jr. who lived in Dummerston, Windham Co., VT, who might be related. His genealogy is
listed in my records here - he was born 6 Jul 1783, Chesterfield, Cheshire Co., New
Hampshire, and died there in Dummerston, 13 Jun 1859. He had a sister named Polly who was
born c1782, but she married Lemuel Bowles, so I presume that your Polly probably isn't
a sibling in this family, though, judging by her age, she definitely could be. A sister
was Anna Chamberlain, who married Samuel Dutton of Dummerston, 19 Jun 1810, and a brother
was Benjamin, who married Resina Amsden in 1807 in Dummerston, so these are other
Dummerston connections for this particular !
family. Ithamar Jr. was 1 of 7 known children of Ithamar(4) Chamberlain Sr. and his wife
Hepsabah Farr, with his ancestry listed as Benjamin(3), Joseph(2), Richard(1). Since you
do know Polly's birth and marriage dates, local & state vital records should be
checked, if you have not already done so. Also for your information, my records show that
data for this family appeared in a GenForum Chamberlain posting, dated 29 Jul 2001, by
Maggie Miller Laurenz [Email: mlaurenz(a)rapidnet.com ]. So, you may wish to attempt to
contact her to determine whether she has learned more by this time. Please contact me via
Email if you wish to discuss this information in greater detail.
