From Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal ..., Volume 1  edited by Ellery Bicknell Crane.  Page 320:

(II) Jacob Chamberlain, son of William Chamberlain (1), was born at Billerica, Massachusetts, January 18, 1657-58.

He resided at Roxbury and Brookline (Muddy River, part of Boston). He should not be confused with Jacob Chamberlain, who married Experience, and lived in Newton and vicinity, for both Jacob and Experience belonged to a generation earlier; nor with Jacob Chamberlain, of Boston and Newton, whose wife's name was also Susanna. The latter Jacob may have been a son of Edmund Chamberlain, mentioned above.
