This is Isaac Benson's brother, Hardy Benson, his wife Nancy and their kids.
Hardy was born in Arkansas in 1860. He married Nancy Bowser in 1883. I believe they had 7 kids, all born in Texas: Olive, Millford, Lillie, Isaac Hardy, Rosa, Charlie and Minnie Ruth.
Hardy died in 1904. He is buried in Pleasant Valley Cemetery, Dallas County.
On the 1910 Census, Nancy and her kids are living next to Isaac, Sabrina and their family. However, the head of household is listed as Nancy's son, Millford. By the 1920 Census, they seem to have a whole Benson compound and are living on "Benson Tap Road."
Nancy died in 1929. However, she is not buried with Hardy. I found her death certificate but I still haven't found where she was buried.
Here are a few pictures of some of their kids. One is a snapshot, the rest almost look like engagement photos.
