As one can see, this family immigrated to the U. S. from Canada in 1867. If it is the
family listed above in 1870 and 1880, which it appears to be, I've maintained a
separate little research file for them, too. My research notes refer to a GenForum
Chamberlain posting, dated 14 March 2004, by Gary Gaylord, Email: imger1(a)msn.com, who
lists Alfred Chamberlain, his wife Mary Loney/Looney, of Canada, with a daughter Rachel,
born 1862, Ottawa, who married John Waterman, 1880, in Marsall, Minnesota and died 1929 in
Bemidji, Beltrami Co., MN. I haven't been able to trace this family any farther on
back in Ottawa, Canada, but local research there might well reveal more. Please contact
me via Email, at jbparker(a)provide.net, if you wish to discuss this information in greater
detail. James B. Parker.
