    Destiny in Texas: Descendants of Jacob Hampshire and Hannah Lee of St. Martin Parish, Louisiana Compiled by James Pylant. 2000. Softcover, 340 pp., illustrated, indexed. ISBN: 0-9622746-7-4; LC: 99-072756

    Among the many emigrants coming into the Latin South's colony of Louisiana at the dawn of the 19th century was Jacob Hampshire (c. 1765-1850) of York County, Pennsylvania, the son of German parents. His wife, Hannah Lee (c. 1784-1827), a native of Hampshire County, Virginia, had arrived with her family from Mississippi Territory. These families settled in Louisiana's St. Martin and St. Landry's parishes. But the destiny of the Hampshire family was reshaped when Jacob and Hannah's children, John, Martha, and Matilda, moved west--to the Republic of Texas. The siblings settled near Beaumont, where many of John Hampshire's descendants still reside. Martha Hampshire and her Prussian-born husband, Joseph Rubarth, moved to Milam and Williamson counties. Matilda Hampshire married David Garner and moved to Calhoun County. Descendants of the Rubarths and Garners spread north, south, and west in the state, including the counties of Bell, Coryell, Eastland, Comanche, Bexar, Crockett, Sutton, and Lubbock. Opportunity was ripe for an ambitious family who amassed thousands of acres, founded towns, and produced judges, newspaper publishers, and ranchers.
