1 Perhaps I may be pardoned for saying, that this Jaeob Chamberlane was my direet lineal aneestor, in the fourth degree, and I suppose him to have been an emigrant. His wife was Abigail, sister of Elder William Hasey - of whom we find so muehr in these records. Jacob Chamberlane died in 1734, in the forty-fourth year of his age, and lies buried in the Revere ehurehyard, near the eentre. His widow, and a large family of children, removed early to Hopkinton, and from there dispersed into New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. I cannot discover that he was re- lated to Deaeon John Chamberlane, though they married cousins; and the fact that Jacob, then living at Roxbury, found his wife at Rumney Marsh, indicates that he may have made her aequaintanee, while visiting John Chamberlane, as a relative.
