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.

Jacob married Hannah Lee about 1804 in Louisiana. Hannah (daughter of Peter Lee and Rebecca Taylor) was born about 1780 in Hamshire Co, virginia; died in 1820 in Opelousas, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

HANNAH LEE is said to have been a 1st or 2nd cousin to Gen. Robert E. Lee of the Civil War fame.

Notes:

In 1850 census, Liberty Co, there is a Abraham ? - age 52, born in New Hamshire. This is possibly her father, but it's a bit of a stretch to get Devores out of what looks like Seales or Scales. The name Devores comes from an entry on Findagrave by a Kevin Ladd, historian in Chambers Co.

Abraham married Mrs (..)(..) Devore about 1816. (..)(..) was born about 1798; died before 1950. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Peter married Rebecca Taylor about 1790. Rebecca was born in 1773 in Hampshire Co, West Virginia; died in 1831 in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
