CHAMBERLAIN.

Mary Amidon, the wife of Benjamin Chamber. lain, had a brother Ithamar, and may have named one of her sons after him. Ithamar Chamberlain had a brother, Joseph, who did not come to Chfd. His (Joseph's) wife was Sarah -, d. 1813. He d. 1776, leaving, at least, the following ch. : Sarah, m. Stephen Streeter (1); Molly, d. 1782; John, d. 1782 ;.

The name of Jonathan. (Sen.). disappears before 1787 ; that of Jonathan, Jr., is not found after 1794. The latter was prob- ably a soldier in 1777.
