Note: Researchers and various branches of this family use two different spellings (Chamberlain and Chamberlin), and records often reflect either or both.

A note regarding spelling of name from James Parker Chamberlin, a Chamberlain historian:
"What we do know was that Chamberlin was generally the preferred spelling in the first several generations, and in the last several generations in your own line, with some confusion in the middle generations, where/when records definitely show both spellings. We also know that other co-lateral branches of this family, in recent generations, used Chamberlin in some lines and Chamberlain in others."
