It is also possible they had a daughter, Elizabeth b/1830/TN that married William Best and a son Charles/who married Elinor Best. Elinor and Ebenezer Best were siblings but I am not sure if William Best was a brother.
As you can see it looks as if the Best family and Mackey family were connected.
This family was listed on the 1850 Shelby Co., TN census but by 1860 was in Marshall Co., MS...Thomas and Martha along with a son-in-law, William Best are buried in Marshall Co., MS in the Mackey Cemetery.
Any info is appreciated.
