Nikki,
Thanks, for the information.I have been trying to find William's will so as to have a document to verify his death date, and the 1850 mortality index in order to have a document regarding Matilda.I have also searched the web for Thomas Tennyson Dunn and John Avington Nabors, but have not found anything significant, or any information that I can verify them as being the correct people.
I did find land purchase documents for a William M. Nabors and a William Nabors in Jefferson County, Alabama.He bought 40.1325 acres in 1820, and 240.657 acres of the same section in 1858.These dates fit with our William's age.The land office were the transaction was recorded was in Tuscaloosa that is close to where his son, Isaac, lived.As far as you know, is this area of Alabama were William resided?
The birth date for William is an extrapolated date from the census documents. My database lists William's birth date as circa 1798 with notes showing how the birth date was determined.My "Roots" web page just shows 1798, which should be circa 1798.I have included all the names and vitals you have provided in my genealogy database, with notes as to how the data are verified or not verified.
Do you have any of the vitals on Matilda, the daughter of Margarett Jones and William?
Maybe your family member that knows about Thomas Dunn's and Nellie's affair could put her statement in writing, and describe as much as she knows about the affair.Something like the Reference Note #130, found on my "Roots" web page, "Isaac Thomas Nabors Family Report."

I believe such documents makes genealogy more interesting that just a collection of bare vital facts.
Thanks for your information,
Bob
I still have no clue as to who is William's father.
