Solomon Chamberlain was born on July 30th, 1788 to parents Joel and Sarah Dean Chamberlain, in Old Canaan, Connecticut. He was one of nine children. His father died when Solomon was 8.<ref>http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/SChamberlain.html</ref><ref>http://www.geni.com/people/Solomon-Chamberlain/6000000007095618230</ref> |

==Notes== |

Solomon joined the Methodists, after which he reported having a visionary experience. Solomon recalled in 1858: "the Lord showed me in a vision, that there were no people on the earth that were right, and that faith was gone from the earth, excepting a few and that all churches were corrupt. I further saw in vision, that he would soon raise up a church, that would be after the Apostolic Order, that there would be in it the same powers, and gifts that were in the days of Christ, and that I should live to see the day, and that there would a book come forth, like unto the Bible and the people would [be] guided by it, as well as the Bible."<ref>http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/SChamberlain.html</ref> |

Chamberlain later met Joseph Smith and became a convert to Mormonism. Since the printing was incomplete, Chamberlain was given a 64-page excerpt of the book. Chamberlain "pursued my journey to Canada, and I preached all that I knew concerning Mormonism, to all both high and low, rich and poor, and thus you see this was the first that ever printed Mormonism was preached to this generation."<ref>http://www.boap.org/LDS/Early-Saints/SChamberlain.html</ref> |

Chamberlain died in 1862. |
