Hi everyone,
Just wanted to follow up to the response to my last query regarding
Chamberlins of Colchester, Connecticut. As I believe I indicated, I don't
know how accurate the year and place of birth is for Joseph Chamberlin; the
notes indicate year of birth 1653; however, as I don't know who took the
notes and placed them in the old Chamberlin Bible, I don't know if it's
accurate or not.
The notes list the following as the children and grandchildren of Joseph
Chamberlin:
Children:
William, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 60
Freedom, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 60
Joseph II, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 56
Benjamin I, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 64
John, I, born in Colchester, a farmer, died at age 52
Two daughters, names not listed.
Grandchildren:
Children of William:
Pelig, William, John, Nathaniel, Ebinezer, Joel, and six daughters
Children of Freedom:
Freedom, Annos, and two daughters
Children of Joseph:
Joseph III, Job and two daughters
Children of Benjamin:
Wyatt, Oliver, Elijah, Benjamin II, one daughter
Children of John:
John III, Eliphalet, Joseph, IV, Benjamin III, Elisha, and five daughters.
If I'm reading the notes correctly, Joseph the IV had children, Martin,
Jacob, Cad, Dan and five daughters. Jacob lived in Dalton, Massachusetts
and was a farmer and manufacturer. His children included an Ephraim
Chamberlin; presumably 'my' Ephraim Chamberlain, father of John W. Chamberlin.
If anyone on the list can verify or refudiate the above, please contact me.
Hope
