History of Oakland County: The fifth Revolutionary soldier's grave to be located and marked in Oak Hill cemetery, Pontiac, was that of Joshua Chamberlin. He enlisted April 3, 1777, at Richmond, Berkshire county, Massachusetts, serving as a private until April 3, 1780, in Captain Jeremiah Miller's company, Col. Vose's regiment of Massachusetts troops. He applied in 1818 for a pension, which was granted, he being a resident of Lewiston, Niagara County, New York. In 1820 he was a resident of Detroit and undoubtedly came to Pontiac with his sons, Joshua, Jr. and Dr. Olmstead Chamberlin, two years later.
