It is reported in some sources that Mareen and Mary Bouth had 5 children. One son of Mareen was named Samuel, who was born in 1667. In several compilations, his parents are reported as Mareen Duvall and Susannah Brashears. However, Mary Bouth did not die until 1672, and Mareen married his second wife Susannah about 1673. There may have been more than one child named Samuel, but if one was born in 1667, his mother was Mary Bouth. -------------------- Mary Bouth Birth 1639 Maryland, USA Death 1672 Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA Mary Bouth was born about 1639, possibly in Maryland. Her parents are unknown. Around 1657, she married Mareen Duvall, who had just completed his term of servitude to Colonel William Burgess, who had paid for his passage to Maryland. Mareen had been awarded fifty acres of land as a free planter. By 1664, Mareen had sold that fifty acres and settled near Col. Burgess in Anne Arundel County, on a 600 acre tract he named Middle Plantation. Mary and Mareen had five or six children. Mary died around 1672. Her place of burial is unknown at this time.

various sources list Etta as Etta Bower, Etta Bowen or Etta Green, with no middle name or initial. The 1900 census enumerates her as Etta L Green. This stands for Etta Lou, which is her name in some genealogies. In the 1880 census for Lee County, Mississippi, she is listed as Luetta, apparently reversing her names. But two early censuses use Luetta or a similar form, Lydda. And in her 1903 interview with the Dawes Commission she says her maiden name was Luetta Bowen, but her current name is Etta Green. From the balance of sources, it appears that Bower is most likely a miswrite in a record that was picked up along the way or a mistranscription of some handwritten record. And most likely not written by Etta herself. The family name was apparently Bowen. Her maiden name has been interpreted (from handwritten sources?) and reported by some family sources as Bower. I have not seen any original family sources or documents other than the censuses. On the Dawes 1904 Chickasaw Roll card, however, her parents' surname appears as Bowen. Etta's first census enumeration has her name wrong in the 1870 census, as Lydda, no doubt a misunderstanding of the spoken "Lou Etta" (for Etta Lou).. 1870 Federal Census, Lee County, Mississippi, [no date] August, District 1, PO Baldwyn, p 52, Hse/Fam #101 Boren, W C 31 M W Farmer $0 Real Estate Value $325 Personal b TN [born abt 1839] Boren, Caroline 29 F W Keeping House b AL [born abt 1841] Boren, Anna 13 F W b MS [born abt 1857] Boren, Bena 9 F W b MS [born abt 1861] Boren, Mary 4 F W b MS [born abt 1861] Boren, Lyddia 6mos F W b MS born Dec 1869 Lyddia matches Etta (Luetta) in the 1800 census, as our Etta Lou.

Family genealogies point us to the 1880 census for Lee County, Mississippi, for her family with parents W Carroll Bowen and his wife Callie.

This genealogy, however, presents no documentation for this date and no entry from the census. Her husband Reddick Green died in 1906. Other genealogies report her year of death as 1949 in Love County, Oklahoma. Etta's record in the 1910 census was difficult to locate, but finally found her when searching in creative ways for her son William Elvie. This turned her up with the surname Brooks, in the household of her second husband Van B Brooks. 1910 Federal Census, Love County, Oklahoma, 16 May, Marietta City Ward 3, District 171, page 24B, Hse/Fam #65 Brooks, Van B Head M W 43 2nd marriage Married 1 yr Alabama Alabama Alabama Owns Brooks, Etta Wife F Indian 38 2nd marriage Married 1 yr Mississippi Tennessee Alabama Brooks, Jennie Dau F W 17 Single Texas Alabama Alabama Green, William step-son M Indian 19 Single OK OK Mississippi Own Income [b abt 1891] The entry for the 1920 census is unusual, in that it reports that Etta is the head of the house and Van is her husband.
