Updated to add: She came to New England after her 2nd spouse's death in June 1639. His will was proved June 27, 1639, and Elizabeth was the executrix per TAG 79 (2004):234-5. Quite possibly, she did not arrive in New England by 1640; however, she was certainly in New England by 1644.

See Norris Taylor's profile of her in an online family file, "Widow Elizabeth Elizabeth (Stoughton) Scudder Chamberlain : A Widow brings her children to the New World - 1630's"; in part, emphasis added.
Taylor references, and may be quoting from, "TAG 72:285-300: A New England Immigrant Kinship Network, Jane Fletcher Fiske, F. A. S. G."
"Mr. Robert Chamberlaine died at Strood and was buried there on 1 June 1639. (There is a twenty-year gap in the Strood register following his burial.) His widow came to New England with her children, Elizabeth Scudder and Samuel and Joanna Chamberlain, following her brothers Thomas and Israel Stoughton and her son John Scudder, all of whom were here by 1635. She was certainly in New England by 6 October 1644, when, as "Mestres Chamberlin," she joined the Rev. John Lothrop's church at Barnstable.39 She apparently moved to the Bay colony shortly thereafter, for on 14 May 1645, the Massachusetts Bay General Court, calling her “ Mrs Chamberlin, widowe, sister to Mr Israell Stoughton," directed, '[u]pon weighty reasons moveing," that she be allowed either a cow or £5.40"
