Cemetery is located about a mile northwest of Desdemona, Eastland County, Texas
on FM 570. TAKEN FROM A
HISTORY OF HILL COUNTY, TEXAS 1846-1980 PUBLISHED BY THE HILL COUNTY
HISTORICAL COMMISSION IN 1980 Nathan E. Dabney
was appointed postmaster of Mt. Calm February 19, 1873. FROM
THE EASTLAND COUNTY HISTORY BOOK, 1989 Nathan Ellis
Dabney (b. 9/27/1829 Illinois, d. 3/2/1901 Eastland County) married Priscilla
Jane Williams in about 1856. Nathan
was probably the son of John Dabney of Navarro County, who died about 1850.
Priscilla Jane (b. 10/9/1839 in the Williams Settlement of what became
Rusk County, d. 9/11/1925 Eastland County) was the daughter of early Texas
settlers, William and Cinderella Jane Bean Williams.
At the time of her marriage, Priscilla Jane andher parents were living in
Limestone County. Also in that year of 1856, Priscilla joined the Christian
Church. Nearly six years
after his marriage, Nathan answered the South's call to arms.
It was March 12, 1862, when he joined Company F of the 15th Texas Cavalry
as a private. He saw duty at Ft. Hindeman, Arkansas Post, Arkansas until he
was captured 1/11/1863. He was a
prisoner of war at the notorious federal prison, Camp Douglas, Illinois, until
he was released at an exchange of prisoners in Virginia on 4/3/1863. Nathan rejoined
his regiment as a teamster, seeing duty in Graysville, Calhoun and Decatur,
Georgia. It was at Decatur that the
Battle of Atlanta began. The
survivors of Decatur made their way to Atlanta to join John B. Hood's forces.
No discharge papers are on record. However,
circumstances indicate that Nathan probably remained with his unit. In 1870, Nathan
was a merchant, and probably a farmer in Limestone County. He became the Postmaster of Mt. Calm Post Office in 1873.
By 1877, the Dabneys and their seven children were settled on their farm
in Eastland County about a mile west of Desdemona, on the right side of Route
2214. One account says that Nathan
grew crops of peaches. By 1918,
however, the farm was growing oil wells. It
eventually had 17 producing wells. Three more
children were born to Nathan and Priscilla after their move to Eastland. The old white
farm house with its picket fence running around the yard is no longer standing.
All that remains today is the Dabney Cemetery.
It is located in a pasture not far from where the house once stood.
It can be seen from Route 2214. Buried
here are Nathan, Priscilla and four of their sons:
James Thomas; William Henry; Stanley B.; and Lee Miller. This writer
assumes that James Thomas never married as I've no record of a wife.
William Henry married Louise Gardner.
They had 2 sons, E.L. and A.C. Dabney.
Stanley B. was married to Diamond---.
Lee Miller's wife was Dolly Ferrel.
Lee and Dolly had one daughter and three sons.
Nathan and Priscilla's other two sons lived in DeLeon in Comanche County.
Ebb E., who died in 1942 married Ida M. Martin.
Ebb and Ida had two children: Minnie
Lee and Clay Dabney. Young
Lafayette, who died in 1945 was married to Mary Allen.
Y.L. and Mary had one son, Taylor Dabney. Nathan and Priscilla's daughter, Willie, married A.J. Kivett and had 3 children. She died in 1936. Their daughter, Ida J. married T.J. Woodley; she also had 3 children. Ida died in July of 1913.
