Thank you for posting this interesting information!I do indeed have your own Chamberlain ancestry listed in my extensive Chamberlain research files/lineages here - the line of descent down from Thomas(1) through Walter (9) is as you have it listed, per the formal Family Group Records prepared in recent years for this family by the late Chamberlain genealogist, David Conrad Chamberlin, Sr. (not related to your line), and per records of the original Chamberlain Association of America.DCC and I were friends and associates and members of the World Chamberlain Genealogical Society which was founded here in Michigan in 1996 (I was its first treasurer and remain an avid Chamberlain researcher - but neither of us are lated to your Thomas(1) line.It was Rufus Warren(8) Chamberlain, born 11 May 1856, Lyndeboro, Hillsborough Co., NH, who married Carrie J. Wallace there on Christmas Day, 1876, with four children listed for them including your Walter(9), born 7 Feb 1879, Worcester, MA.Rufus and Carrie moved to Worcester after their marriage and lived there for several years - three children born there between 1877 and 1880.Their fourth known child, Martha F., was born September 1892 in Omaha, Nebraska, but I don't know exactly when they moved West.In 1897, they were residing at Omaha, Nebraska, where he was serving on the police force, which is pretty much all I know about him.This is the first time that I've seen the next generations in this line - William(10), William(11) and yourself, Timothy(12) - so I'd like to learn more from you about them and their families, for my lineage records here, if you please.
Information about Joba Chamberlain can be seen in numerous websites or homepages online (e.g. use Google to search for him as I have done).Biographical information for him appears there, which includes information about his father, Harlan Chamberlain, born 1951, a resident of Lincoln, Douglas Co., NE [several listings at his residence there for him there in Ancestry.com).Harlan is evidently of Native American descent, born on the Winnebago American Indian Reservation in Thurston Co., Nebraska in 1951.I haven't yet been able to identify Harlan's parents, and would be interested in doing so, if possible.All I can see in census data in the village of Winnebago (on the outskirts of the reservation) in 1910 and 1920 is the family of Harry and Ada Chamberlain, both natives of Nebraska, and their several children - all listed as "white" race or ethnicity.So, I don't know whether this family is related in any way to that of Harlan Chamberlain.Please do contact me by Email
