Hi Everybody, Greetings. My name is Robert Leonard HUMBLE. Usually called Bob. My wife is named Fumi. I was born in Colorado in 1931. Fumi was born in Gunma Prefecture, Japan. We live now in Las Vegas, NV. I'm retired, used to be an electronics technician both during a 21 year military career and in the corporate world. Fumi is a home maker and a retired entrepreneur. We have three kids and three grand children. Isham Smith HUMBLE, my 2d great grandfather, and my 2d great grandmother Sarah D. RATCLIFF came to Tyler County probably about 1846. They were in the 1850 Tyler County census as follows: 1850 Tyler Co TX Census Fmly #167 Isham HUMBLE 40 MISS, Sarah D 32 MISS, Nancy A L 13 LA, Charlotte 9 LA, Thomas L 7 LA, Peter A 9/12 TX; bor Jacob C HUMBLE fmly is only other Humble fmly in TX index #169 The 1860 census: 21 July 1860 Woodville PO, Tyler Co TX Census I S HUMBLE 50 MISS, S B 42 MISS, T L 16 LA, P A 10 TX, H A V 8 TX The 1870 census: 1870 Woodville PO, Tyler Co TX Census fmly #841 Isam S HUMBLE 60 LA farmer $500 real estate, $2490 pers propt; Sarah B 52 LA, Thomas L 26 LA teamster $250 pers propt; Henry G 21 LA Peter A. (Adolphus) is my great grandfather. The daughter Charlotte died in Tyler County in 1859. She and Isham and Sarah were members of the Rocky Hill Baptist Church at that time. The son Thomas L. (Leonard) went to the War Between the States and lost a leg. I don't know how he lost it. I've got some later information on him in West Texas, but no details of his wartime service. Peter Adolphus and Tom went to West Texas. I believe Tom died in Arkansas. I know Peter died in 1935 in Big Spring. The Jacob C. HUMBLE mentioned in the 1850 census was Isham's brother. I believe he went on the Hardin County, and I know some of his children were living in Hardin County in 1896. They were involved in an interesting incident that I'd like to get more information on and will post it later. I'm looking forward to hearing any information anyone in the group may have about this family. I'm sure Charlotte was buried in Tyler County and it seems a good possibility that Isham and Sarah were too. Best regards to everyone.
