Looking for information on Thomas J. Chambers and wife Isabella Barnhill. They came to
Texas in Dec. 1833 with her parents William & Cynthia Barnhill and Isabella's
sister Emily and husband Andrew Houston, and applied for admission into Austin &
William's Colony in April 1835. They had three children at that time, 2 males & l
female. It is possible that Thomas appeared in Montgomery Co., Texas on the 1850 census.
Isabella wasn't listed so probably died between 1844-1850. Thos Chambers, 38, b. TN.
Value $2650. Children: William H. 18, b. TN; Pleasant A. 16, b. TN; Nancy Ann 15, Sythia
S. 13, John H. 12, James J. 11, Daniel L. 9, Thos. 8, Frederick H. and Oliver P. 6. All
children born after Pleasant A. were born in Texas. Would like to know what happened to
the family.
