Message Board Post:
For anyone researching Ebenezer Chamberlin: There is misleading information that I have
seen out on the web. It states that in Ebenezer's application for a Revolutionary War
pension, it says he has 14 children. I have obtained a copy of his pension application
(he was applying in 1818 in Potsdam, St. Lawrence County NY), and it says his wife (Martha
Patty Howe Chamberlin) has been dead for 14 years. It also says he had 11 children, 8 of
who survive. I have been able to identify 9 of his children (John, Maynard, Ebenezer,
Lois, Martha, Azubah, William, Henry, and Abigail). Does anyone know the names of the
other two? Also, on his pension application, he signs his name Chamberlain; however, his
gravestone in the Fish North Sheldon VT cemetery, it is spelled Chamberlin. I am
descended from him through his son Henry, and out line has been spelled 'in' since
that time.
