David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr. [Email: DavidChm(a)sisna.com ], replied via Email to my 11 Sep
2002
Ancestry.com response to your 1 Aug 2001 posting here. David confirmed, as I
suspected, the identity of your "CHAMBERLIN, William B. of NH" as: William
Bradley(7) LN7105, John(6), John(5), Jonathan(4), Samuel(3), Thomas(2), Thomas(1)
Chamberlain. David has a Family Group Sheet (FGR) available for this William [the LN
number shown above reflects David's numbering system for all identified Chamberlains],
listing a number of children in this family. William's wife's full name was Odora
Clymena Owen. The 1850 Census data cited in my posting for this family was originally
transcribed from the microfilm by David himself, who, after re-examining his original
transcription carefully, confirms that "V? M. B. Chamberlain" is in fact
"WM B CHAMBERLAIN" (shown in the original in upper case letters), and his
son's name of "N? B." is in fact "W. B. CHAMBERLAIN."
I don't know who you are - your name shown as "board admin" and Email
address suggest that you are perhaps a representative of the group administrating these
Ancestry.com Message Boards. I'd appreciate hearing back from you, confirming your
personal identity, and official capacity, if any, for my records, and why you are
researching this family, in case I need to contact you again. I myself am an avid
Chamberlain researcher here in Michigan, spending much of my free time responding to
Internet queries in various forums, including especially GenForum (hundreds of my
responses there), and am one of the co-founders of the World Chamberlain Society in 1996.
David is a professional genealogist located in Salt Lake City, and recognized as the
leading authority on Chamberlain/lin genealogy. Perhaps you already know him. You can
contact him directly, he says, if you want more info. on earlier generations.
