I also saw your GenForum Chamberlin posting, same date, listing your new Email address.For the benefit of other researchers, this is Mrs. Dorothy Borne, of Neptune, NJ, whose lineage appears as Branch 8, Chamberlain Chain, Vol. 2, p. 16, about 1986, and whose queries were also listed in Vol. 1, p. 26; Vol. 24, p. 20.See also her GenForum Chamberlain postings dated 16 Apr 1999, 18 Dec 1999, 30 Dec 1999 and GenForum Chamberlin posting, 16 Apr 1999, same subject.My own response was dated 19 Dec 1999.
Augusta Dora (or Dora Augusta) and her husband were buried in Rosedale Cemetery, Orange Co., NJ.Birth dates, there in Orange, Essex Co., NJ, are recorded for their four children.Sources for this family cited by Dorothy Borne: Marriage & death certificates, Census record, Markwith Genealogy, Cemetery Record, Family Bible.Ch'n Chain, Vol. 1, p. 26 query shows birthdate as 7 Aug 1851, but elsewhere shown as 9 Aug 1851.Ancestry.com, Orange, New Jersey Directories, 1887-90, lists "Augusta Markwith, Parrow n Oakwood avenue, NJ, 1887, 1888, 1889."Ancestry.com, U. S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, lists Augusta Dora Chamberlin, b. NJ, 1851, m. 1871, NJ, Charles C. Markwith, b. 1848, NJ, p. 4.
- 1900 Census, 29 Day St., Orange Ward 2, Essex Co., NJ, Agusta Markwith, p. 174A, #25/24, 1 Jun 1900, head, age 48, widow, b. Aug 1851, rents, NJ/NJ/NJ; Wallace, son, single, age 26, b. Feb 1874, ambulance orderly, NJ/NJ/NJ; Ethel, daughter, single, age 24, b. Jan 1876, trimmer - new hats, NJ/NJ/NJ; Charles, son, single, age 22, b. Jan 1878, ponnser? - felt hats, NJ/NJ/NJ; also William Cole, boarder, single, age 58, b. Mar 1832, flanger - felt hats, ME/ME/ME
- 1930 Census, living with her son Charles in West Orange, Essex Co., NJ, age 78
So, having listed all of this identifying information, the problem is that I've not been able to identify the family of A. Chamberlain/lin in the 1830-1870 census records there in Essex Co., NJ, where they should be located, nor elsewhere in New Jersey.The reasons for this failure to identify them in census data are unknown.Likewise, I don't see any lineages for them in Ancestry.com, in the LDS - IGI records, and so forth, which would have helped.Unknown whether anyone has searched for a birth certificate for Augusta Dora, or what other records have been searched, beyond those listed here.Unknown whether any of Augusta's siblings have been identified, which might facilitate this search.
Not to be confused with the family of Amos(7) Chamberlain ... William(1), of Milton, Morris Co., NJ, whose daughter Caroline Augusta(8), b. 21 Sep 1848 there, is definitely someone else.
Please contact me via Email, for additional discussion of this family, if desired.James B. Parker.
