The following information is from the World Chamberlain Genealogical Society's files and was compiled by J.B. Parker.
HENRY CHAMBERLIN was born Abt. 1592 in England, and died 15 July 1674 in Hull, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts.He married JANE ???? Abt. 1615 in England.She died Aft. 16 March 1708/09 in Hull, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts.
Of the five well-known Chamberlain immigrants to New England, Henry has probably been the subject of more confusion and misinformation than any. This arose from the fact that for many years it was thought that only one Henry Chamberlin settled in New England when in fact there were two men of that name at the same general time period.The better known of the two, a shoemaker whose wife was Grace---, arrived on the ship "Diligent", 1638, with his wife, mother and two children, and he eventually returned to England, leaving no descendants in America.The other Henry, a blacksmith whose wife was Jane---, left fewer traces in the records but was the progenitor of all the known Henry descendants in the New World.
Persons who trace their ancestry to Henry must acquaint themselves with the article that finally clarified the understanding of this immigrant.The reference is:"The Two Henry Chamberlins of Hingham, Massachusetts: 1636-1649," by David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr., in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, vol. 139, April 1985, pp. 126-138.This article explains the manner in which the identity of the two Henrys was discovered and gives the essential facts of the families.
Henry, the blacksmith, first appeared in New England in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, at Hingham, where he was received as a townsman on 17 Feb 1638-39 (Hingham Town Records, vol. I, p. 81).Made a Freeman 13 Mar 1639, Henry and Jane probably lived at Hingham until at least 10 Mar 1670/71, when he was granted a lot, and soon after removed to Hull, MA.His sons Henry and William were both early settlers of Hull about 1654.His will, dated Dec. 8, 1673, was proved 29 July 1674.In it he names his children except John, who was dead.Also named was John's son John Chamberlin.His estate of 10 parcels of land in Hingham was sold March 3, 1674/75.Henry's burial place is unknown, but was probably on the old burying ground on the hill in Hull.
CA Report, 1903, pp. 23-24, gives a possible lineage, they believe, of one Henry Chamberlain, Parish of St. Andrew, Attleborough, Co. Norfolk, who had a son bpt. there Nov. 15, 1633, who may have been the Henrywho immigrated to America 1638.A pedigree of the East Anglian Chamberlains was completed for 12 or 13 generations from Count de Tankerville of Normandy, down to the East Anglian family of 1630.Pp. 29-30 give details concerning Christian Chamberlin, prob. sister of Mr. Isreall Stoughton (pertaining to Henry the Shoemaker, not Henry the Blacksmith).
