Our Chamberlain line begins in 1772 in Connecticut when Daniel Day marries Elizabeth Chamberlain. She is the daughter of John Chamberlain and Eunice Johnson. The line continues back from Connecticut to Massachusetts and then Oxfordshire, England.
The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry le Camberlain, which was dated circa 1154, in "Documents illustrative of the Social and Economic History of the Danelaw" by Stenton, during the reign of King Henry, known as the Builder of Churches. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax.
A Coat of Arms granted to a family of the name in London depicts on a red shield witih a silver orle charged with eight blue mullets a gold armillary sphere. Chamberlain was originally the name of an official in charge of the private chambers of his master. Notice the change below from Count and Earl to the surname of Chamberlain. This ancient family of the Chamberlains is descended from John Count de Tankerville, of Tankerville Castle in Normandy, who came into England with King William the Conqueror, but returned again into Normandy. The direct line is shown below.
