Bartholomew Manlove, Margaret Chambers, and Fenora Chambers black plaque

Margaret Chambers Home. This Greek Revival residence was built in 1835 for Bartholomew Manlove (b. 1776), who was elected the first mayor of Bastrop two years later. In 1857, the property was sold to Margaret Chambers (d. 1897). Formerly married to Josiah Wilbarger (d. 1844), the well-known survivor of an 1833 Indian attack near Austin, she later wed Col. T. W. Chambers, a veteran of the Texas Revolution. Constructed of native wood, the home was deeded to her daughter Fenora in 1890.
