Nathaniel married Margaret "Mittie" Louisa Bennett on 8 Oct 1874. Margaret (daughter of Adam Jackson Bennett and Mary Jane Elizabeth Harvey) was born on 5 May 1857 in Texas; died on 4 Dec 1923 in Texas; was buried in Bennett Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She is not listed with the rest of Adam Jackson Bennett and Mary Jane Harvey Bennett family as the time of the 1860 Sabine County Census. Might she actually be the daughter of another Bennet family? She is shown, however, by both White & Toole and Kay Parker McCary as a daughter of Adam Jackson Bennett and Mary Jane Elizabeth Harvey Bennett.

Benjamin married Tibatha Emeline Halbert. Tibatha (daughter of Joel Halbert and Emeline Grindle) was born on 17 Dec 1852 in Texas; died on 12 Jan 1926 in Milam, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in New Hope Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Although the transcription of the New Hope Cemetery shows her as Tibatha Dorsey, it appears that after Frank Dorsey died in 1886, she remarried Stephen JONES, probably around 1889, as the 1900 census shows they had been married 11 years. Three of her children by Frank Dorsey are listed as JONES in 1900. Since all were born prior to 1889, and since other records show Dosie and William J. had the last name of Dorsey, it is assumed this is in error. In 1910, the widowed Tibatha Jones is living between son Will Dorsey (shown as Will Jones in 1900) and daughter Rosa Dorsey Chambers.

The 1910 census shows her as the mother of nine children in total, 7 born to Frank Dorsey and 2 born in Stephen Jones. Two of these children had predeceased her.

Virgie Speights wrote that she owned a loom on which cloth was woven for skirts, trousers and dresses, and beautiful blankets and coverlets.

Notes:

"Allen Chamber's father was Henry (d 1842, the son of Wm Chambers, Amer Rev Veteran who rec'd a land grant in Warren Co, Ga. He d ca 1832, in Wilkinson Co Ga, leaving his widow Martha* who was on the 1850 census. The Allen Chambers family came to Sabine County in 1860, where he died Feb 5, 1884. His wife died Apr 29, 1878. Both are buried in the New Hope cemetery." White & Toole, SABINE COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCHES AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS. Virgie Speights wrote that the Chambers came from Georgia in the middle 1800's and settled on Chambers Hill, north of Milam, where they built a log cabin, in which they lived until they moved a mile or so further north, and built another cabin. Eventually they built a new huge, handhewn, square logged house, which was still standing when she wrote of it in the mid 1960's, and was owned by Elzie Chambers, who used the original home as a corn crib.

*Martha Chambers on 1850 Wilkinson Co Ga census is widow of Henry Chambers, and NOT the widow of his father William (Sr) Chambers. Martha, Henry's widow, lived until 1873. (Email from Earl Scott Chambers).

Earl Scott Chamber's line of descent follows:

-William Chambers and Elizabeth Patton

-William Chambers and Rebecca Stuckey (likely to be his 2d wife) (Henry, Joel and others descend from Williams first wife.....)

-William Chambers and Isabell Jane Garrett

-Lewis Morgan Chambers and Lillie Louise McCorkle

-Jessie Robert Chambers and Ella Horne

-Johnie Hue Chambers and Sadie Morris

-Earl Scott Chambers.

Notes:

Married:
Virgie Speights, in OLD TIMERS OF SABINE COUNTY, TEXAS, in a column about Pearl Chambers Lord Greer, dated January 30, 1964, wrote that "Adam Bennett and Mary Jane Elizabeth Harvey, came with their slaves from Louisiana, just ahead of the sheriff. He was chasing them to take away their slaves in connection with some sort of lien connected with the estate of Mrs. Bennett's mother. They barely made it to Texas and safety in time to camp in the 'sand field' now known as "Bennet Field," just on the Texas side of the Sabine. The Louisiana authorities camped on the opposite side of the river before frustratedly returning home the next day. Then Adam staked his claim atop a nearby hill with gently sloping fields towards the river. The place is still called the "Bennett Place." There is a family graveyard nearby. The elder Bennetts had come to East Feliciana Parish from Alabama, and his father, a silversmith, had come from Germany." In a later article, this one profiling Abbie Della Bennett Travis, January 27, 1966, she added that the lien was due to "a matter of a few unpaid debts. The slaves were to be confiscated, so the Bennett's, their two children, and Zelotus Margaret Ann Boyd Harvey raced to the Sabine River and safety which they attained just before dark."

Notes:

Linda King Davenport shows him as the son of James H. Dorsey Sr.

James married Mary Reeves on 23 Dec 1842 in Talledega County, Alabama. Mary (daughter of Richard Lawson Reeves and Alenna Rene "Allie" Bates) was born before 1822; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
Linda Davenport writes that "My Lucinda Reeves and James H. Dorsey (son of Alexander & Patsey) married before 23 Dec 1842 by W. McCann, Minister of the Gospel in Talladega Co, AL. Lucinda's sister, Mary Reeves, married James H. Dorsey, Jr. (son of James H. Dorsey, Sr. & Unknown) on the same date by the same person. The marriage licenses were returned on 23 Dec 1842. Supposedly, while in Alabama, Lucinda was pregnant, helped push a cow out of the mud & went into labor and died. I'm not certain what happened to the child, but James H. Dorsey, widower, was in Sabine County by 1860. All according to Blanche Finley Toole."

Notes:

He was the son of John Halbert and Susannah Higgins.

"Came to Texas about 1838, and settled at Milam. Joel rec'd a 2nd Class Headright for establishing citizenship in the Republic of Texas." (White and Toole)
