I have hit a brick wall with my Chamberlin research. I am looking for four brothers who
were born in Merrimack, NH circa 1790's. They are John, Josiah, Thomas and Leonard.
One researcher says they are the children of John Chamberlin and Hannah Center. (no proof
found) or the grandchildren of John Chamberlin and Hannah Farwell (no proof).
The brothers went to Hull, Quebec, Canada circa 1820, to work for Philemon Wright. John
married Mary Bloss and stayed and farmed in Hull. He drowned in the Gatineau River in
1837. They had five children: John Charles, Mary (Evans), Julia (Morehouse), Hannah
(Brooks) and Sophia (Church).
Josiah married Sophia Frost. They also stayed and farmed in Hull and had several
children. Thomas moved to Dayton, Ohio sometime after 1825 and married Catherine _ .
According to the 1850 & 1860 census he was a plaster. He died in Dayton on Aug. 2,
1868. Leonard moved to Massachusetts after 1825.
