My records here indicate that Clarence Clark Chamberlain was 1 of 10 known children
of Clark Walter Camberlain, b. 4 May 1878, NY, perhaps Steuben Co., whose wife was Velma
E. (-?-), b. c1887, PA. Clark was 1 of 6 known children of Joel R. Chamberlain, Jr. and
Mary Brooks, of Steuben and Cattaraugus Counties, NY. Joel Jr., b. c1844, prob. Chatham,
Tioga Co., PA, was 1 of 9 known children of Joel Chamberlain, b. 6 Jul 1795, NY, and his
wife Eleanor (-?-). Joel's origins remain unproven at this time, but he is believed
to be the same person as Joel(7) Chamberlin of Maryland, Otsego Co., NY [Elisha(6),
Peleg(5), William(4), Joseph(3), William(2), Henry(1)]. Please contact me via Email, if
you wish, to discuss this information in greater detail, including the identity of other
contact persons, that appear in my Chamberlain research file here. One person who
provided me with considerable information in 2003 is your second cousin, Rick Chamberlain
<rickcha(a)madbbs.com>!
, son of Walter Jr. and grandson of Walter W. Chamberlain, Sr. You may wish to contact
him directly.
