Chamberlain Families of
Erie County, New York 1
George Richard Chamberlin,
Editor and Transcriber
When counties were established in New York State in 1683, the present Erie
County was part of Albany County. This was an enormous county, including the northern
part of New York State as well as all of the present State of Vermont and, in theory,
extending westward to the Pacific Ocean. This county was reduced in size on July 3,
1766, by the creation of Cumberland County, and further on March 16 1770, by the
creation of Glochester County, both containing territory now in Vermont.
On March 12, 1772, what was left of Albany County was split into three parts,
one remaining under the name Albany County. One of the other pieces, Tyron County,
contained the western portion (and thus, since no western boundary was specified,
theoretically still extended west to the Pacific). The eastern boundary of Tryon County
was approximately five miles west of the present city of Schenectady, and the county
included the western part of the Adirondack Mountains and the area west of the West
Branch of the Delaware River. The area then designated as Tryon County now includes
37 counties of New York State. The county was named for William Tyron, colonial
governor of New York.
In the years prior to 1776, most of the Loyalists in Tryon County fled to Canada.
In 1784, following the peace treaty that ended the American Revolutionary War, the
name of Tryon County was changed to Montgomery to honor the general, Richard
Montgomery, who had captured several places in Canada and died attempting to capture
the city of Quebec, replacing the name of the hated British governor.
In 1789, Ontario County was split off from Montgomery. In turn, Genesee County
was created from Ontario County in 1802, and Niagara County was created from Genesee
County in 1808.
While Erie County was part of Ontario County, all of Erie County was in the
Town of Montgomery of Ontario County. As part of Genesee County, all of Erie County
was part of the Town of Batavia of Genesee County. Soon, for a time, Erie County was
designated the now defunct Town of Erie.
Erie County was created from Niagara County in 1821. Prior to that time the area
now within the county had been composed of the Town of Clarence and the Town of
Willink, both of which had been created in Niagara County. Clarence comprised the
northern lands of the current Erie county, and Willinck the southern part. Clarence still

exists as a town, but Willink has been partitioned completely into other towns in the
county. By 1821, both these towns had already begun subdividing to form the new towns
of the county.
The community of Buffalo was first incorporated in 1810, and made a Village in
1816. Erie County was established a few years later, more precisely, 1821. In 1825 the
Erie Canal was completed with the canal ending in the Village of Buffalo in Erie County.
Buffalo reached the status of City in the year 1832.
According to the 1855 Census, Sylvester Chamberlain was the oldest resident in
the town of Buffalo, and in Erie County. According to the 1855 Erie County Census he
first moved to the Buffalo area about 1815, just prior to Buffalo attaining the status of
Village.
Sylvester having moved from Cayuga County, New York, received an original
building lot, (91), from the patent holder for Buffalo, on 26 April, 1826.
Sylvester was born 15 Jan 1782 in Austerliz, Columbia County, New York, the
Son of Jonathan (6), Peleg (5), William (4), Joseph (3), William (2), Henry the
Blacksmith (1). He served in the militia during the War of 1812 and served under Captain
Stephen D. Champlain, in the Niagara Campaign that first introduced him to the Erie
County area. He was a soldier in the battle of Lake Erie in 1813. In civilian life he was a
blacksmith and was Superintendent of Blacksmithing for the Ogden Land Company,
1828-1840. At one time he operated a carriage manufacturing factory at Buffalo.
As you will see in the materials that follow there were Chamberlains that
followed Sylvester to Erie County, New York. Many of those Chamberlains are listed or
noted in this “Black Book” prepared by a member, or members, of the Chamberlain
Association of America. The original “Black Book #49,” concerning Erie and Essex
Counties in New York, are available for viewing in the original handwritten condition in
the Chamberlain Collection found at the New York Genealogical and Biographical
Society presently located at 122 West 58th Street, New York City, New York. Contained
in this writing, except for cosmetic changes and rearrangements, you hold in your hands
the contents of Black Book #49 as it pertains to Erie County, New York. 2
