Notes:

Name:
Benjamin Chamberlain came from Connecticut, and located near Sparta, in Sussex Co., NJ some time prior to 1767, on the farm now owned and occupied by Samuel Hl. Maines, a great-grandson. It is said a brother came with him, named John Chamberlain, who also settled in Sussex County. Of the immediate ancestry of Benjamin and John Chamberlain, we have been unable to learn anything. It is quite probable that they were descendants of one of the early pioneers of the name who emigrated from England to American and settled in one of the New England states.

It is not known whom Benjamin Chamberlain married. He was a farmer and shoemaker, and evidently a member or adherent of the Presbyterian church of Sparta, close to which his remains were buried.

The Presbyterian church of "Hardiston," as it was then called, was organized in 1786, and worshiped in the house of Robert Ogden until 1790, when the church building was erected, and after the township of Sparta was set off from that of "Hardiston," the church changed its name to that of the First Presbyterian church of Sparta. The name of Benjamin Chamberlain, however, is not found among the list of the early members of the church.

It is a tradition of the family that Benjamin Chamberlain joined the colonist in the Revolutionary war and no doubt served his country well.

The children of Benjamin Chamberlain were as follows, viz,: Phebe, Hannah, Elizabeth, Polly, Isaac, Joseph, Samuel, Abraham, Jacob, Jabez, Elias, Noah.

His tombstone in the Sparta Presbyterian grave yard bears the following inscription, viz.:

"In Memory of
Benjamin Chamberlain,
Who Departed This Life
November 29, 1816
Aged 69 years

Benjamin married Unknown. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
