Text:   Hello Joseph I've done considerably more research on Franklin and Henry K. Chamberlain since I submitted my line and there are a few things that should be updated on their WALF genealogies. FRANKLIN CHAMBERLAIN place of death can be added as Cook Co., Illinois. My notes are below. DEATH: At least one source has place of death as Will Co., Illinois but this is almost certainly in error. The fact that he resided in Worth, Cook County at time of the 1880 census, less than a year before his death, makes it nearly certain that he died in Cook County. HENRY K. CHAMBERLAIN birthdate should be 15 Jun 1844 instead of 1843. My notes BIRTH: Birthdate of Henry from his tombstone and bible pages in compiler's posssesion. He is listed with his parents, brothers & sisters in the 1850 census for Worth Township, Cook County, Illinois, but his age is illegible. He was age 26, born Illinois, in 1870 Iron Co., Utah census and age 31, born Illinois, in 1875 Lincoln Co., Nevada state census. Place of birth given in some sources as Oak Lawn, Cook Co., Illinois or just as Cook County but this is disputed within the book "Jeremiah Leavitt II and Sarah Sturtevant" by Lyman D. Platt, Revised Edition, The Teguayo Press, St. George, Utah, 1998. The following extract was taken from Sarah's own writings: [Pg 25] "... preparations were made to leave Twelve-Mile-Grove, and the loved ones who were buried there.... The Chamberlains remained there until 1845, when they removed to Black Oak, near Chicago. ..." ELLA CHAMBERLAIN birthplace may be Lincoln Co., Nevada instead of Eagle Ville, Iron, Utah. My notes: BIRTH: Printed transcriptions of the 1870 Census for Eagleville, Iron County, Utah has a Mary E. age 9/12, born in Utah in the month of September. The census was taken 28 June 1870 so this would have her born in September, 1869. One source states that the entry for the month in the original census is nearly illegible but appears to be March. This could not be so if she was nine months old in June 1870. The 1875 Lincoln County, Nevada state census has a daughter "E.", age 5, born Nevada. Nearly all sources have her as having been born in 1870 in Utah. The year 1870 is confirmed by IGI Utah, her tombstone, and her death card. The fact that she was "over 17" when married 30 Apr 1887 and only age 18 when she died 9 Jun 1888 makes a birth year of 1870 nearly certain but this cannot be so if she was nine months old when the 1870 census was taken. It is very possible that the child Mary E. in the 1870 Utah census was born in September, 1969 in Utah, as stated, and is not Ella. If so, this daughter probably died prior to the 1975 Lincoln County census and could be the daughter of H. Chamberlain buried in the Spring Valley Cemetery in Stateline Canyon, Lincoln County, Nevada. The daughter "E" in the 1875 Nevada census, age 5, born in Nevada, is almost certainly Ella. If Mary E. and "E" are, in fact, the same person, Ella was almost certainly born in September, 1869 in Utah. The discrepancy in the state of birth may be due to the fact that Eagle Valley, Nevada where the family is known to have resided from at least 1872 to 1876 is located nearly on today's Nevada/Utah state line. It is also known that the state line was found to be incorrectly located a few years prior to this period and that some areas thought to be in Utah were actually in Nevada. It is possible that Ella's birth place was thought to be in Utah in 1870 and then known to actually have been in Nevada by 1875. Some lineages state that she was born in Gunlock, Washington Co., Utah, but the 1870 census and later records make this unlikely. It is nearly certain that she was born in 1870 in either Iron County, Utah or Lincoln County, Nevada or that her birthplace was changed from Iron County to Lincoln County by correction of the Nevada/Utah state line. LUCY & MARYETTA CHAMBERLAIN birthplaces should be Lincoln Co., Nevada. The 1875 state census has them as born in Nevada and the Pioche, Nevada, "Tri Weekly Record" stated that H.K. was elected Justice of the Peace for Eagle Valley in 1872. NETTIE & EVERETT CHAMBERLAIN places of birth should be Wallowa Co., Oregon instead of "of Lincoln Co., Nevada". It has been established that Henry K.'s family arrived in the Wallowa valley of Oregon July 6, 1880. Thanks, Bud Irwin
