Her birth/marriage both unrecorded vital events, yet reported in _History of Old Chester…_ (NH) and _History of Newbury .._ (VT).

a. Is entry for Chamberlin fam in _Vermont Families in 1791_; might someone have abstract of vital information and/or a record of sources referenced?

b. There is presumably a revolutionary war pension file about Joseph. From _History of Newbury…_, "b. Northfield, Mass., March 18, 1738; soldier in the French and Indian war ... 1757-58; in Coos in 1760; came to Newbury, 1762; grantee ...; ensign, 1775, in Capt. Thomas Johnson's company of Minute Men; second Lieutenant, 1777-79 in Capt. Frye Bayley's company, guarding and scouting ; was with that company at Pawlet, Aug. 16-Oct. 1, 1777; 1779-81, 1st Lieutenant in Capt. Simeon Stevens' company [continues]."
