Hi Group~


I am looking for ties to John CHAMBERLAIN or CHAMBERLIN b. 1758 probably in
Amenia, NY. His father was also John Chamberlain, who m. Margaret or Matilda
Atherton of Dutchess Co, NY or possibly the Wyoming Valley PA area.

Sometime after the Revolutionary War, I am quite sure the first John b.
1758 m Eleanor Kinnan or Canaan. Daughter of John Kinnan of NY. Eleanor was
said to have been born in NY and I have reason to believe it was the Orange
Co., NY.

A John Chamberlain shows up first in Hardiston township in 1790, and then
Newton later in Sussex Co NJ .John and Eleanor's son John b. 1784 was
definitely married in Newton, Sussex Co, NJ in 1812. That much I can prove.

My question is...was the John Chamberlin listed in the 1790 tax list in
Hardiston, my John Chamberlain, I am looking for as father to John b. 1784?
How can I prove who John b. 1784's father was? I have by family tradition it
was:
Descendants of John Chamberlain

1 John Chamberlain b: Bet. 1735 - 1740 in CT or NY d: in Amenia, NY or
NJ?
. +Matilda or Margaret Atherton b: Bet. 1735 - 1740 in MA/CT d: Amenia NY
or NJ ?
. 2 John Chamberlain b: Bet. 1758 - 1762 in NY d: in ?
.... +Eleanor Canaan b: Abt. 1765 in NY d: in ? Father: John Canann
.... 3 John Chamberlain b: July 02, 1784 in NJ? d: August 06, 1845 in
Bradford, Rock Co., WI
....... +Mary Little b: November 23, 1791 in Newburg, NY(?) m: September
22, 1808 in Newton, Sussex Co, NJ d: Aft. 1871 in Rock Co, WI Father:
Mathias Little Mother: Elizabeth Beardsley

Do any of these names look familiar to other Dutchess Co researcher's?
I have also posted to the other counties and states, mentioned here.

My John was pretty much ruled out as being the Brother of Benjamin who
showed up in Sparta,Sussex Co., NJ

Thanks for any replies,
