On February 6, 1912, one of the black Mormons who had participated in the 1875 visit to the Endowment House requested more baptisms to be done on his behalf. At "the instance of" or by request of Samuel Chambers, sixteen men and thirteen women received vicarious baptisms and confirmations. On this occasion, Samuel and his wife, Amanda, did not act as proxies. Instead, a Norwegian temple worker and his wife performed the ordinances in the Salt Lake temple. The beneficiaries of these baptisms were more of Samuel's relatives and friends whom he knew in the South. There is a "Mr. Green" and a "Hedie Green" listed in the register, probably referring to Amanda's parents who had died by this time. Remarkably, Samuel wanted his white biological father and half-brother to receive baptismal rites, so a proxy acted for James Davidson and his son, David Patton Davidson. In a reversal of what has become a controversial LDS practice, Samuel also asked that members of his white slaveholding family receive vicarious baptisms. He had stayed in contact with his white owner's daughter after he had gained his freedom and left Mississippi. He considered her to be his half-sister, and in 1912 requested that she and her deceased husband receive baptisms and confirmations. Her father, Maxfield Chambers, was also one of the beneficiaries Samuel named. He had been Samuel's owner since he was a young boy. James Davidson, Samuel's father and first owner, had sold or given him to Maxfield Chambers sometime in the late 1830s or early 1840s.
