I am descended from both of Jacob's granddaughters (both daughters of Jacob Jr) one of whom (Sarah)married Samuel Scott and of whom (Mary) married John Trott. John & Mary's daughter Mary Trott then married the son of Samuel & Sarah Scott, Luke!

NEW ENGLAND IMMIGRANT EDMUND CHAMBERLAIN
Dr. Philip Chamberlain, Chairperson.
Email: [email protected]
Edmund Chamberlain, also called Edmond and Edward in some records, was one of the five well-known New England immigrants whose many descendants now occupy most areas of this continent. It is assumed that he was born in England, with best guesses giving the date as around 1617-1618, and it is generally believed that he was a brother of two other well-known immigrants of that time, William and Thomas Chamberlain. This belief is based on the observation that all three Chamberlains, Edmund, William and Thomas, had estimated birth dates appropriate for brothers, and lived in Woburn, Massachusetts in the 1640s; the assumption is not based on any known birth record, Will, or other confirming document.
Edmund first appears in the records of Massachusetts when he married Mary Turner, at Roxbury, on 4 January 1646/7. Mary was recorded as a member of the First Church in Roxbury, and the first child of Edmund and Mary, a daughter Mary, was baptized there on 16 April 1648. Edmund was granted land in Woburn and lived there from 1649 to 1654. In 1655 he lived on a farm next to William Chamberlain, in Billerica, and in 1656 was recorded in Chelmsford, where a line in John Fisk's Note Book, Second Proc. Mass. Hist. Soc. XII:325 states, "Mary Chamberlin the wife of Edmond Chamblin dismissed to us fro. The Church of Ooburne." Also, on 22 October 1656, "Edmund Chamberline of Chelmsford, planter," deeded property in Billerica to William Baker, indicating his presence first in Billerica, then Chelmsford.
Edmund was made a Freeman of Massachusetts at Chelmsford on 3 May 1665 and resided there until 1669. On 7 December 1669 Edmund's wife Mary died at the home of Samuel Ruggles in Roxbury, where she was thought to be tending members of that family who were stricken with an unspecified ailment. Edmund remarried on 22 June 1670, to Hannah (Witter) Burditt, widow of Robert Burditt of Chelmsford. The family then moved to Malden, where they remained until 1676, then to Roxbury in which town they rented the Griffith Bowen farm from 1677 to 1682. Some time after February 1683/4 they joined a group of settlers to form New Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, which later became Woodstock, Connecticut. Edmund was deacon of the first church in Woodstock from 1693 until his death on 8 May 1696. He died intestate and administration of the estate was granted to his widow Hannah on 28 July 1696.
The children of Emund and Mary were:
Mary, bp. 16 Apr 1648, in Roxbury. Died abt. 1675.
Sarah, b. 18 Dec 1649 in Woburn, d. abt. 1715.
John, b. abt. 1650; d. 3 Mar 1652/3, in Woburn.
Elizabeth, b. 11 Mar 1652/3 in Woburn; d. aft. 1678.
John, b. abt. 1654 at Woburn; d. 27 Dec 1721.
Edmund/Edward, b. 30 May 1656, at Chelmsford; d. 19 Dec 1675.
Jacob, b. 15 Oct 1658 at Chelmsford; d. 7 Nov 1721.
The children of Edmund and Hannah were:
Susanna, b. June 1671 in Malden; d. 6 May 1672.
Ebenezer, b. 1672 in Malden; d. December 1672.
Susanna, b. abt. 1674 in Malden; bur. 16 Dec 1713 in Boston, MA.
Edmund, b. 31 Jan 1675 in Malden; d. 18 Dec 1751.
Mary, bp. 22 Sep 1676
Of these children, the genealogical literature contains some confusion about Jacob Chamberlain, engendered by the fact that both William and Edmund Chamberlain, supposed brothers, named a son Jacob, and the birth year for each is 1658. The confusion is further compounded by these sons in turn naming sons Jacob and a whole sequence of Jacobs then arises from each Jacob, down through several generations. The data on each of these Jacob Chamberlains is as follows:
Edmunds's son:
Jacob b. 15 Oct 1658 Chelmsford, MA; d. 7 Nov 1721 Roxbury, MA
m1. Mary Childe 24 Jan 1683/84 in Roxbury
m2. Sarah Weld 29 Apr 1719 in Roxbury, MA. No children were born to the second marriage but Jacob and Mary had a son Jacob b. 7 Mar 1685 in Roxbury; d. 8 Nov 1761 in Roxbury. He married Sarah Payson on 30 May 1711 and they gave rise to a long string of additional Jacobs in successive generations.
William's son:
Jacob b. 18 Jan 1657/58 Billerica, MA; d. 11 Apr 1712 Newton, MA
m. bef 1691 Experience (French?) Uncertainty persists about her maiden name. She married 2. Jonathan Dyke of Newton. Jacob and Experience had a son Jacob b. 19 Feb 1691/92 in Medford; d. 28 Jul 1771 in Newton. He married Susannah Stone abt 1718 and they had a son Jacob b. 28 Nov 1719 in Newton; d. 17 Mar 1790. He m1. 7 June 1744 Lydia Stone, and m2. July 1769 Anna (Goddard) Heywood.
