Dear Madam:
See Mass. Soldiers & Sailors p. 264 I advise you that, from the papers in the Revolutionary War pension claim, S. 39303, it appears that Joseph Chamberlain enlisted in 1775 and served eight months, officers and place of enlistment not given. He served several months in the "State Militia". He enlisted in April 1777 as a private in Captain Benjamin Brown's Company, in Colonel Michael Jackson's Massachusetts Regiment and served three years. He afterwards served one year as a wagoner, no details given.
He was allowed pension on his application executed April 7, 1818, at which time he was a resident of Tunbridge, Orange County, Vermont, and he stated that he was then more than seventy years of age.
There are no data relative to his family.
The above noted is the history of the only Joseph Chamberlain of Massachusetts that is found on the Revolutionary War records of this bureau.
Respectfully,
EARL D. CHURCH, Commissioner.
