Mary Etta Chamberlain, who married Wade Shrum, was born 12 Jan 1876 in OR, one of 7 children of James Theophelis & Rebecca Elizabeth (Belieu) Chamberlain of OR, granddaughter of John & Mariah M. (Smith) Chamberlain who were married in OR 14 Jan 1849, and great-granddaughter of Theophelis & Catherine (Whitaker) Chamberlain.Data from World Family Tree CD-ROMs #6, lineage 707; #7, lineage 498; and #10, lineage 528.The latter two lineages do not show the great-grandparents' generation, but do, importantly, show that the grandfather, John, was born Queens Co., Ireland.These lineages have considerable information on descendants for several generations.I have located nothing more on this family in my other research databases, except in the Chamberlain Chain, Vol. 19, p. 4, which lists John Chamberlain & his wife Maria Smith (also her other 2 husbands), and 6 children, citing the book The Two Smiths, by Pasha Paloma Smith, 1988.Also, three queries in the Chamberlain Chain can provide you with additional important information & contacts with persons researching this family: Vol. 7, p. 26; Vol. 9, p. 24; Vol. 15, p. 25.Contact the editor, Carolyn Weidner [Email: [email protected]]
