On 25 February 1859, Bennett mortgaged property consisting of 21 head of stock hogs, three cows and yearling, and three head of horses (a bay mare, a sorrel colt two-years-old, and a bay filley one-year-old). William Scarlet had become the security for Bennet Chambers and Green Chambers for two notes executed to William Stout, Common School Commissioner of Pope County, one for $33.50 and the other for $28.75. If the two men could pay the notes, the deal was over. If they could not, Scarlet would get the livestock. [4]

In August 1860, the Chambers family lived in Dover Township, Pope County, Arkansas. They owned $350 in personal estate.[5]
