Tibatha Emeline Halbert

1852 - 1926  (73 years)

• Name	Tibatha Emeline Halbert  [1, 2, 3, 4]
  Born	17 Dec 1852	Texas   [2, 3, 4]
  Gender	Female
  Died	12 Jan 1926	Milam, Sabine County, Texas   [2, 4, 5]
  Buried	New Hope Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas   [2]
  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. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/J6R5-ZJD Name: Tabiatha Jones Death Date: 12 Jan 1926 Death Place: Milam, Sabine, Texas Gender: Female Race: White Death Age: 73 years 1 month 2 days Estimated Birth Date: 1853 Birth Date: Birthplace: Milam, Sabine County, Texas Marital Status: Widowed Spouse's Name: Father's Name: Father's Birthplace: Mother's Name: Mother's Birthplace: Occupation: House Keeping Place of Residence: Cemetery: Burial Place: Iola, Tex.
