Janet, most of the info I have is questionable, from family stories as seen by the '?'.
Born 1817/18, Nottingham?, England. Father Charles?/Edmond?. I would go with Edmond as he named his only son, and youngest child, Thomas Edmund (b. 11/2/1863). Port of entry to US: Baltimore?, MD (from London?)
Married Martha Jane Needham, b. 1823/4 in TN. Her mother Nancy b. 1794/5 in VA.
Herbert and Martha had a lot of daughters (up to 13): Mary Jane b.1844? (m. James Biggs, b. England?), Elizabeth Ann b. 1846? (m. Walter Biggs b. England), Nancy E. b. 1850?, Carolin b. 1857 (m.James A Watson 1871?), Lucinda/Eucline L. B. 3/3/1860? d. 12/12/1922? (m. James Winebarger?), Louise?, Martha C.?.
Herbert purchased property in St. Genevieve Co., MO in 1850, 1854, 1857, 1872, 1878, 1881, & 1885. Apparently he was a quite successful 'land trader'.
This is more than you asked for but I hope some one else out there might recognize some names.
Thanks for responding to my message. Trish
