    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]


  4. 11.  Tibatha Emeline Halbert was born on 17 Dec 1852 in Texas (daughter of Joel Halbert and Emeline Grindle); died on 12 Jan 1926 in Milam, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in New Hope Cemetery, Milam, Sabine County, Texas.

    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.
