Note for: Judge Lewis Chamberlain, 1712 - 3 May 1772 Index
Individual note: With regard to William, Prall states "Co. Wm. Chamberlain was of the Chambellon Huguenot family who settled in London about two decades before the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685. After the great fire in London in 1666, the family moved to Ireland. Tradition says that three sons of the Chambellon refugee came to America about the beginning of the 18th century, changed their name to Chamberlain or Chamberlin, and the ancestor of Co. Wm. settled in Hunterdon Co., N. J.
Co. Wm. Chamberlain purchased from John Garrison in 1761 a house and mill on Neshanic Creek at Rainbow Hill, Hunterdon Co., N. J. At the time of the Rev. War, he owned a farm and mills on Neshanic Creek near Wertsville. He was a capt. of the 2nd Regt. of Hunterdon Co. during the Rev War and was in a number of battles and skirmishes. In 1776 he was promoted to major and later to Lt. Col. in both the militia and the continental army. Col. Wm. was at Trenton, Germantown 1777, Monmouth 1778, Elizabethtown 1780, and Springfield 1780. When Major Wm. Chamberlain was promoted in 1776, Capt. Nathan Stout (see Stout Ch.) took over his company. A foraging party of the British in 1776 burned Col. Wm. Chamberlain's mill at Clover Hill. At the Battle of Germantown on 10-3 & 10-4-1777, he lost his oldest son Lewis 18y. On 3-22-1780 Col., Wm. was court martialed for his "ungentelmanly and unofficer-like behavior towards the officers and men, impeding the militia, and favoritism toward certain officers." He was cashiered from the militia on 5-14-1781. In the 1780 Hunterdon Co. rateables he had 94 acres of farm land plus 20 acres of undeveloped land. Col. Wm. moved to Shamoken, Union Co., Pa., in 1792 where he purchased 600 acres."
