Research Notes

There are some Connecticut Death & Burials sources that state a Joseph Chamberlain, born abt 1697, died Apr 8 1765 in Virginia was buried in Sharon, Litchfield, Connecticut ^{[2] [3]}

Biography orinially stated that he married 2nd wife Hannah Gillette Oct 28 1682 in Sudbury, Massachusetts, but the marriage was to Hannah Gilbert ^[4] , which is before both were born. Family search has children born to that couple in Massachusetts after that date, so it is probably for a different person. The marriage detail with Hannah Gillette has Nov 30 1739 in Colchester, Connecticut, which is after his death date of Oct 3 1730, but no sources other than an unsourced site for that date.

Find A Grave: Memorial #118122520 has no gravestone or cemetery. It states his parents were Joseph Camberlain and Mercy Dickinson, both wives and is linked to daughter Lydia's page. ^[5]
