"Francis Chamberlain, presumably father of Thomas, Edmond and William, was the first to settle in the colonies. He came on the Marmaduke in 1621 and John Camden Hotten's Original Lists, p. 254, shows him at Elizabeth City, Virginia, in the "muster roll" taken 7 Feb 1624/5, age 45, with wife Rebecca aged 37, small son Francis aged 3, and four servants. Significantly, his household was next-but-one to that of Daniel Cookins [sic] who was the Daniel Gookin later leading the boatload of Puritan refugees fleeing Indian raids and landing at Boston in 1644, presumably with Thomas and William Chamberlain and others unnamed. The marriage of a Francis Chamberlain to Agnes Haiden in 1613/4 at Ugley, co. Essex, England, may have pertained to him.[2]
As a burgess, he was a Member of the Convention of 1625[5] and a signer of that Convention's Petition to the King.[6][7]

The tree found by Frank Leach does not make sense either-- Francis and Agnes Haiden Chamberlain in Boston in 1621, but their young children still in England, and she dies in 1621, and Francis dies in 1623 in Boston. Would a mother really have left her infant son (William) and young boys behind in England?
