1840 NJ census, Essex Co., Newark
The only Chamberl(a)in here is Samuel
Note: two males aged 20-30, two females aged 20-30 and 1 female under age 5
in household. This would indicate two married men with their wives, one
having a daughter. No indication that this is the family of Isaac
Chamberlain, but it is noted as being the ONLY Chamberlain family in the
entire county of Essex and the ages look to be correct. There is a Samuel
Chamberlain and family in the 1850 census living in Newark, assume this is
him.

Isaac lived in Newark throughout all the censuses I found him in, so it
seemed logical that he was there in 1840 as well. There is only ONE
Chamberlain family living in all of Essex County in 1840 and that is the
family with Samuel listed as head-of-household. If you take a look at the
ticks on that census page you'll see that the household contains 2 males
aged 20-30, 2 females aged 20-30 and 1 female under age 5. That COULD
appear to be 2 families of husband and wife with one of them having a young
daughter. If you look at the 1850 census of Isaac, you'll see that his
oldest daughter was born about 1838, hence it is possible she is that
daughter listed in the 1840 census. HOWEVER, I have also found a Samuel
Chamberlain living in Newark on the 1850 census and HE is shown with one
daughter born 1839, so with that in mind it is possible that Isaac is not
part of Samuel's household in 1840. There is also a single female named
Hannah Chamberlain born about 1805 showing up in the 1850 census in Newark,
so that could be the other female living with Samuel (his wife and sister
perhaps). There are several Samuel Chamberlains living in the state of New
Jersey in 1840, though, so don't get stuck on this particular one living in
Newark. It just seemed LIKELY.

1830 census. There are two Chamberlains listed for
Newark: Jabez Chamberlain and Reuben Chamberlain. They are not living very
close to each other, something like 100 pages away (that's probably akin to
opposite ends of town). Jabez does not have any male children living with
him older than 5 years of age, so Isaac does not fit this family. Reuben
has 7 males between the ages of 20-30 living with him. He is listed as
being 30-40 years old. There are more males living with Reuben than just
any that he could have spawned. Possibly he is listed with his own family
(there are women listed with him as well) and his siblings.

Isaac married Lydia. (Lydia was born on 18 Apr 1814.)
