I have not been able to identify this Erastus Chamberlin, but have listed the following
data. He was married 12 Sep 1802, Thetford, Orange Co., VT, which might suggest his
origins there, but several of his children, beginning Oct. 7, 1803, were born in Barton
Twp., Orleans Co., VT, so obviously he was living there at that time. He appears in
Census indices in Irasburg, Orleans Co., in 1820, together with George (probably his son),
and then in 1830-50, but not before this time. There is a Clark Chamberlin listed in 1830
in Irasburgh, who might be related together with Samuel in Barton; Edmund & Samuel are
listed in Barton in 1820, who might be related - I've not identified any of these 3
persons. Also, I do not have Orleans Co. Census listings before 1820, which would be
helpful. There are several other Erastus Chamberlain/lins in my research files, listed in
VT of this approximate age, but they have been traced. Erastus' death record has not
been located, which, togeth!
er with land & probate records (not yet made available), might reveal more. Dorcas
died 11 Oct 1865, Coventry, Orleans Co., VT. Additional research is evidently required.
