Hello James~
Nice to hear from you again as well. It has indeed been a while. I have been busy trying to tie up some lose ends as very soon, many of the Chamberlain Cousins on this line located in SE WI, plan on meeting for a get together very soon to talk John Chamberlain Genealogy. We are all trying hard to put our sources together and see what we can come up with. Everyone is asked to bring their fact sheets and any thing to add to the hunt of our gggg grandfather(and others 5x great) John Chamberlain b. 1784 in NJ. Funny how when I ordered his military papers from National Archives, there wasn't anything in them about any relatives mentioned other than his wife Mary. I assumed his parents were both dead at the time she applied for this land grant(after 1845). An added bonus was we found Mary had a brother, James LITTLE, living in NY at the time, stating to the Officials that he was indeed present at their marriage in Newton , Sussex Co. NJ Sept. 22, 1808. I guess at the time when Mary applied for John's Land Bounty Rights, there was no officiail document of their marriage that they knew of, so she had to find people present at their marriage and have them supply affidavits of proof to the Pension Board(or what ever they were called at the time)for her grant of Land. I am not sure what the Sussex Co Courthouse would hold in way of early records but all I found was a John and a James in some military lists. And a Jeabes and Joh in Sussex Co early tax lists. Also a Edward in early records in the Hardiston and Newton areas of NJ who married an Elizabeth Little and I was hoping it was a cousins of Mary Littles. I am pretty sure it was not a sister because I found Elizabeth's Littles father listed several places and it was not Mathis Little, Mary's father.
Phillip Chamberlain updates me on these DNA tests news and I am grateful for his help. While they are complicated to figure out, , I think I understand the markers somewhat and how it works. I guess in our case, the Descendant of Stephen who had the DNA Haplotype similar to our candidate was apparently a known descendant of Edmond/Edmund & Mary Turner. That's why Dr Phillip may have thought it probably is Edmund we descned from and if you look at the markers they match very close. He did warn it is not 100% certain though. Without Dr Phillip, none of this would have been possible, He was the man who talked me into it this. The cousins all chipped in for the DNA Kit cost(many Chamberlain cousins that is) and we found a candidate from a male descendant of my gg grandfathers brother.(we had none on our branch since my g grandfather had 9 girls and the one son, never had children.) I feel we are getting very close to solving this...At least I hope. I have a feeling the answer lies in Sussex Co, NJ or Windham Co., CT
Thank you for your help and comments again...Always a pleasure talking with you. You are a Very helpful person and I appreciate it.
