Hudson Twp. - WILLIAM CHAMBERLAIN, deceased. With his wife and several children (viz., Joseph, William, Amos, Reuben, Samuel, Philemon, Asahel, Hiram, Lucy, Lydia and Mary) emigrated from Connecticut to Ohio, and settled in Hudson Township, in 1809. One daughter, Ann, married a Mr. Case, and located at Granville, Ohio. They were among the early pioneers of the county, and applied themselves to clearing the land and making general improvements; bearing the many privations with a determined resolution to overcome every obstacle. Being industrious, they laid the foundation of material prosperity. All except Hiram have long since mingled their dust with that of mother earth. The representatives of the family still in this vicinity are the lineal descendants of Amos, the third son of William. He (Amos), was a youth of about 16 years when his parents came here; he took jobs of chopping by the acre, and chopped much of the timber in this vicinity, and thereby procured some means to buy a piece of land for himself. He married Jerusha Crane, who came to Ohio from Connecticut, at an early date, with her parents. They had ten children, nine of whom grew up to maturity, viz. Horace A., Harris B., Schuyler M., Laura M., Jerusha A., Catharine R., Orville W., Cordelia M. and Henry H. Both Amos and his wife died here, at an advanced age.
