March 18, 2005:

I am trying to find the Hayes family. Hiram W. Chamberlain (1816-1854) married 
Elizabeth Minerva Hayes May 26, 1835, at Baptist Church, Clarence (Petite Nation), 
United Counties of Prescott and Russell, Ontario, Rev John Edwards (Baptist) officiating. 
Does anyone know the ancestry of Elizabeth Minerva Hayes? 

Also, I can’t find any record of an Augustus Chamberlain, father of the above-noted 
Hiram W. Chamberlain. Augustus apparently married Miss Sarah Wyman February 23, 1814 
in Wells Vermont, USA and they settled in Prescott County. I believe Sarah (Wyman) 
Chamberlain is buried in Chute-au-Blondeau cemetery but have no idea when she died. 
I have no information about Augustus although there is reported a death of an Augustus 
Chamberlain in Kingston August 13, 1834. Was this Augustus Chamberlain and Daniel B. Wyman 
part of the Philomen Wright (PW) contingent? Daniel Wyman is recorded as one of, if not the, 
earliest settlers in Prescott County. 

Any information would be sincerely appreciated.

Good morning, Mr. Fraser:
 
Thanks for your e-mail regarding the early Hayes/Chamberlain/Wyman families.
 
Do you mind if I add it to our web site and also add your e-mail address as a 
contact for other researchers?
There is a Daniel Wyman, age 28, listed on the 1808 militia list for Hull, as well
as several Chamberlain men and a Martin Ebert. I believe that the Eberts were
connected to the Hayes family in Pontiac County, west of Hull. Maybe someone
can help us further.
 
Thanks again.
