Individual Details

The Vital Records of Massachusetts say "Edmond Chamberlain of Billerica maried Sarah Furbush of Reading."2 Edmund Chamberlain died in 1766 in Mansfield, Connecticut Colony, now Tolland County.1,3
Compiler's notes: The lineage of Edmund Chamberlain is unproved, but this seems the most likely scenario. The Massachusetts Vital Records show Edmund of Billerica married Sarah Furbush in Reading in 1713. They then show the birth of 6 children to Edmond and Sarah in Reading. Several sources have surmised that it was Edmond (b. 1660) who married Sarah, but his age and the relocation of the family to Tolland Co., CT makes this unlikely as the elder Edmond continued to be recorded in Massachusetts.

Of all the immigrant Chamberlains, only William moved to Billerica. Several of the sons of William Chamberlain settled in Billerica. The Vital Records include the births of most of their children but not all. This Edmund has not been found, but it is possible that his birth was just not recorded or he was born elsewhere. I have hypothesized that he was the son of Edmund because of the pattern of naming sons after their fathers, and the gap in birth dates between sisters Hannah and Marah.
