My records show that (Bingham) Franklin ENSOR was born 12/24/1854 in MD, son of Nathan Aaron ENSOR and his first wife, Keziah GREEN, who m. Nov. 1843. (Keziah reportedly died in childbirth, although I have two birth dates for her last child, Keziah Ann, namely 11/23/1856 and 3/23/1856.) You mentioned that Benjamin Franklin ENSOR had a relative named Nathan who lived in the Ft. Worth-Dallas area. He probably was Nathan Aaron ENSOR, Jr., who was Benjamin's half-brother. Another half-brother was Robert Nelson ENSOR, whose descendants still live there. In 1994 I attended their reunion held in the Lubbock area as the guest of Lucille (Ensor) ROSEMAN of Grand Prairie, TX. It was in 1867 or 1868 that Nathan Aaron ENSOR, Sr. moved from MD to MO and then to Belton, TX. He died in TX on 12/20/1897. (In 1867 his younger brother Joseph sold his business in Baltimore and moved with his family to settle on a farm in MO.)
Nathan Aaron, Sr. (b. 8/6/1822) was son and eldest child of Nicholas ENSOR (b. 8/26/1797 or 1799) of his first wife, Ellen WELLS (m. 8/15/1821). The households of Nicholas and his son Joseph were enumerated in the 1850 census, on 10/9/1850, in the 5th District of Baltimore Co. Nicholas d. in 1877, and his tombstone can still be seen (in need of some cleaning or repair) at Forest Baptist Church Cemetery in Upperco, Baltimore Co., MD. Nicholas was son of Nathan ENSOR (born possibly in 1760) and Mary BROOKS (m. 1787). I descend from Mary's sister Berthier (pronounced Be thi ah) who m. Abraham Ensor, Jr. in 1787. They were daughters of Charles BROOKS of Belfast, MD. Nathan's father was said to be named Jonathan.
Franklin ENSOR (b. 12/24/1854) m. Laura PRESLEY; he died in 1923 at age 69 (the correct age might be 68). Hope that this information is helpful to you, and that it gives you enough background information to pursue your research. By the way, my maternal grandmother was Elizabeth Ellen (ENSOR) ENSOR, sister of Benjamin ("Ben") Franklin ENSOR who died and was buried at Black Rock Baptist Church Cemetery, Butler, Baltimore County.
