Grandnephew of United States President James Monroe. The marriage index of 1821-1866 of Chariton County Missouri appears to possibly misspell his first name of Isham as Ashburn, since all other records show his first name as Isham.
Pioneer of Dallas, Texas, arriving with his family: wife, mother, and his brother, after the death of Lucy's husband, Pleasant Browder. Isham is credited with helping to establish what would become the city of Dallas, Texas, by allowing settlers to use his Browder Springs as the first drinkable water supply.
While serving in the army, in 1862, he became ill and returned to Dallas and died in October. He and his brother had joined Company C of the Eighteenth Texas Cavalry Regiment (Darnell's Regiment) when it was organized in 1861 at the outbreak of the Civil War, with his brother Edward as Captain. His brother sent him home on an indefinite furlough when his condition worsened from dysentery and malaria..
The Texas and Pacific Railroad was routed within one mile of Browder Springs, to cross the already-established Houston and Texas Central Railroad. Browder Street in Dallas, Texas is named after Isham Browder. The first zoo and first city park was on land donated to the city from the Browder family, now called Old City Park - Dallas Heritage Village. There is a plaque in the park commemorating the Browder family and Browder Springs.
