Census
1860 census of Freestone Co., Texas, Butler P.O., enumerated 31 Aug, lists on p. 35 as family #380/388:
James R. Mobley, 35, farmer; Sarah S., 19; Robert E., 7; Mary E., 6; James R. Junior, 1. Henry Chambers, 37, overseer; Stephen B. Smith, 20, overseer. All born in Alabama.
Sarah and James were only married in Jan 1860, 8 months before this census was taken, so she would not be the mother of any of the children, unless the age for the baby is wrong.

Mobley, J.R., 46, merchant, b. Ala; Robt E., 20, clerk, b. Ala; Mary E., 14, b. Ala; J. R., 11 (male), b. Tx; Jake, 9, b. Tx; Carrie, 7, b. Tx; Ellen R., 4/12, b. Tx, Feb. Quesenbery, V., 38, doctor, b. Va; An B., 32, b. Tenn.
