Here are some news article examples containing 'with my/their etc. being...' as supplement to a main clause:




(1) Since the opposing counsel would be the U.S. Department of Justice, and with my being new to that game, I enlisted as co-counsel an accomplished federal litigator with extensive experience in dealing with the DOJ. (Source)



(2) Since this raised many leftists' ire and with my being the reasonable man I am, I propose a compromise: no immigrants from the Third World or the Old World. In other words, no immigration, period. (Source)



(3) The Jordans were serving at Destiny Life Church in Oakland, and with their being hired by Divine Hope Church, both churches merged while keeping the Divine Hope name. (Source)




Is the use of genitive pronouns (my, their, etc.) well-formed and natural?



Or is it better to have accusative pronouns (me, them, etc.) instead?
