Henry Chambers Ashmore (1832-1895) was born in Trenton, the eldest of 8 known children born to ship's Captain William Ashmore and Frances D. Chambers, and married Mary Rowley of Trenton on August 22, 1854. He is from a long line of Ashmores and Chambers from the Trenton area. Henry was a carpenter, and he and Mary removed to Easton sometime after 1857. Other siblings would also relocate to the area, residing in Phillipsburg, NJ. Henry served as Sgt. in Company B, of the PA Fifth Regiment, which was one of the regiments called out for the emergency of Gen. Robert E. Lee's first invasion of the North in 1862. It contained five companies of Northampton men. The 5th was not called upon to enter the fire of battle, though it was, on the day of Antietam, within hearing of the artillery. Its term of service was short — less than two weeks — as the emergency passed away, and it was not needed. It was discharged September 24th and 27th, 1862.
