"
J. B. Chamblee, a prosperous and intelligent farmer of Fairfield, Freestone county, Texas, was born in Pendleton district, South Carolina, in 1825. His father, Lewis Chamblee, emigrated to that State from North Carolina, where he was born in 1785. He was an orphan boy, and grew to maturity on a farm. He married at this place Mary Buriss, and became the father of ten children. He became a large and wealthy planter, working 100 slaves, and did military service in the war of 1812. His father was a British immigrant named Isaac Chamblee, who served through the Revolutionary war, and his son Lewis died in 1855, and his family were: Jane married A. Gilmore, and both are deceased; John, deceased; Jacob; Malida married Strickland, and both are deceased; Elizabeth married H. Brooks, and both are deceased; Marina married Pleasant Morehead, both deceased, and three others are also deceased, and our subject.
The latter remained with his father until he had attained his majority. At this time he became a farmer on his own account, and upon the death of his father he managed the settlement of the estate to the full satisfaction of all the heirs. In 1862 he enlisted in the Second Alabama Cavalry, and had for his Colonels at different times, Hunter, Earls and Carpenter. His service was in Florida, then he went to Holly Springs, Mississippi, next on the Atlanta campaign, then to Nashville, then to North Carolina, and from there to Georgia, where his command surrendered to Sherman.
After the war Mr. Chamblee returned home and began rebuilding his fortunes, having nothing left but a three-year-old colt. Things seemed to move very slowly in the old State, and having a brother-in-law in Texas, our subject concluded to try his fortune here. In 1870 he landed in Freestone county, bought land and prepared to make him a home, but just then another misfortune assailed him. In 1871 his wife died, to whom he had been married in 1847. She was Elizabeth, the daughter of John Cockerell, of Alabama, and her children were: William A., who died; Laura, the wife of Pink Bennett; Marietta, wife of Addison Cockerell, deceased; Annie, wife of M. M. Mosteller; Tempy, wife [of] J. W. Weaver; Alice, wife of Monroe Driver; Ophelia, wife of Joseph Burnett, deceased; J. L. and seven others deceased.
Mr. Chamblee owns 159 acres of timber in the county, and since his bereavement he has resided with his children until within the last two years, when, October 8, 1890, he married Mrs. Julia Ann Talley, the widow of Coleman Talley, born in Tennessee in 1826. Mr. Talley was a son of James Talley, a prosperous farmer and a native of Tennessee, as was his father, Martin Talley. Mr. Talley married Jane Whitehead, by whom he had six children, namely: Henry, Betsy, Mary Ann, Colman, June, Nancy and William. Colman was reared by an aunt, being an orphan. At the age of five he began to support himself, and made a good living for himself and family, and was in possession of some property when the war came on. He enlisted in the Confederate army and fought through various engagements, but was taken sick and became so very ill that he was left for dead in 1863. His wife heard of it, and taking her own team drove to the hospital and demanded his body, that she might give it proper internment. Owing to the devotion of this good woman, Mr. Talley recovered from his illness, but not sufficiently to return to the army.
In 1872 he came to Texas and located in Freestone county, taking up 380 acres, which he improved and added to, until, at his death, in 1888, he owned 1,100. In 1846 he had married Miss Julia Ann Arrand who was yet a school girl. She was the daughter of Alexander Arrand, of North Carolina, who was the father of nine children, two of whom are yet living. Mr. and Mrs. Colman were the parents of the following children: William; James I; Helen, who is the wife of Isaac Wharton; Hainey; Tom P.; Margaret, deceased. Mr. and Mrs. Talley were both staunch members of the Baptist Church."
