Name Meaning

Chamberlain

Jacob
English: status name from Old French chambrelain, Norman French cambrelanc, cambrelen(c) ‘chamberlain’ (of ancient Germanic origin, from kamer ‘chamber, room’, Latin camera (see Chambers ) + the diminutive suffix -(l)ing). This was originally the name of an official in charge of the private chambers of his master, but is so widespread in late medieval England that it must sometimes have been used of people of more ordinary status, perhaps as a nickname for an officious or self-important person or for someone who played the role of chamberlain in a folk play, tableau, or ceremony. Compare Chancellor for a possible similar usage.

A William Chamberlain m. Sarah Pason 29 May 1711 Dorchester*; dau. of Samuel and Mary (Phillips) Payson; b. 12 Oct. 1690 Dorchester*, as Sarah dau. of Samuel Payson. The said William and Sarah Chamberlain, disappear out of the records, and have no issue recorded to them. It is worthy of note that their date of marriage differs only by a day from the family record of the marriage of Jacob and Sarah Chamberlain, but the birth record, 1696, of the widow of Jacob, as given by her death record, is not that of Sarah Pason the wife of William Chamberlain. Perhaps Jacob Chamberlain married twice, the space of four years between the births of his son Edward and daughter Patience, favors this presumption. (1)
