Sainte Geneviève, where Félicité was born, was the first white settlement in
what became known as Missouri. In 1735, French lead miners and hunters
settled in the location in New France. Félicité was born there on 27 June
1791 (27 February 1791 in some sources). Missouri was part of Louisiana
Territory, and thus part of the Louisiana Purchase that the USA bought from
France in 1803.
The Arkansas Marriage Records report her marriage to Louis Dumont on 20 May
1810, in Arkansas County. Family sources indicate they married in Arkansas
Post. This record spells her name as Felicite Caloit.
Arkansas Marriages to 1850
Caloit, Felicite
Dumont, Louis
Marriage 20 May 1810 Arkansas County, Arkansas
An article in the Grand Prairie Historical Society Bulletin reports details
for Félicité as follows:
"Felicite Caillot (b 27 June 1971 bpt Ste Genevieve MO 29 Mar 1871 d in Desha
Co 1860-62. Signed marriage contract before Andre Fagot at Arkansas Post AR
on 20 May 810 with Louis Dumont, son of Jean Pierre Dumont and Genevieve
Lecuyer".
-- "Some Descendants of Marie Messager" (Grand Prairie Historical Society
Bulletin, October 1980)
In March 2008, a few days after finding several genealogies with various
information on the Dumont-Dumond family lineage, I found widow Félicité and
some of her children in the 1840 census. This was an interesting find, since
the censuses before 1850 give the name of only the head of household.
I found a listing for Lewis Dumont in Arkansas Township of Arkansas County,
Arkansas. Censuses before 1850 also give only the number of males or females
in 5-10 year age ranges. The oldest male in the household of Lewis was 20-30
years old, while the oldest female was 60-70 years old.
Working out the members of the household, I found the household matched the
family of Louis B Dumont, minus Louis and older children. This was Félicité
and most of her children, and the enumerator had listed the oldest son, Lewis,
as head of the household.
1840 Federal Census, Arkansas County, Arkansas, Arkansas Township, p 2
Lewis Dumont 2 Males 5-10 [Reges, Israel] 2 Males 15-20 [Caliste, Pierre] 1
Male 20-30 [Lewis]
2 Females 5-10 [Mannett and ?] 1 Female 10-15 [Virginia] 1 Female 50-60
[Félicité]
The estate settlement of Félicité in 1862 includes the name of Felicite
Pertuis as one of the heirs. The source analyzing this settlement record
along with other official records (Grand Prairie Historical Society Bulletin,
October 1980) indicates that this Felicite Brinsback is the daughter of a
Felicite Dumond, who was the daughter of Louis and Felicity (Félicité)
Dumond. This source indicates that Felicite daughter of Louis and Felicity
was born between 1810 and 1815. Thus she would have apparently been out of
the house and not counted in the 1840 census. All the children are accounted
for there except one female child between 5 and 10 (and thus born between 1830
and 1835).
In 1840, Lewis/Louis, son of Louis B Dumont, would have been 24, matching this
entry. Félicité would have been 49, based on her recorded birth date, which
is consistent in various family genealogies, based on records in New France.
Her birthday was 27 June 1791. So perhaps she mis-stated her age. We find
that a lot in this period of time. The age groupings of the other children
match those found in the genealogies.
Since Louis is the oldest son here, this means that Jean-Baptiste, who was one
year older than Louis, is either already married or out working away from the
home. I have not yet found a listing for him in the 1840 census. There is a
possible listing for him in the Desha County Militia in 1861,under the entry J
Dumond, but another family genealogy reports his death in 1938. No record of
a marriage of Jean-Baptiste has been found.
The two youngest boys are Reges (Roger) of the genealogies, which probably is
the name Regis, and Israel. In one sources the name is spelled Reyes. The two
older boys are Caliste and Pierre; the older girl would be Virginia. The two
young girls are Mannett and another daughter that the genealogies do not
account for. In have still not found out who this might be. Further, I have
not found her in the 1850 census. Where would this 11-15 years old girl be in
1850? Perhaps the extra girl int eh 1840 census is a child that died before
the 1850 census.
I did find information about another daughter not in the genealogies. In May
2008, I found a discussion on a Dumont genealogy list posting information from
the will of Louis, probated after Félicité's death. This includes the name
of Frances, who is reported to have been born about 1810-15.
In 1850, all the Dumont family entries are spelled Dumond. The Dumont family
members are all living close together, and are listed in Chester Township of
Desha County. It is not clear if they have moved, or borders and townships
have been changed since earlier information indicating they were in Arkansas
County.
Félicité is listed under the English form of her name Felicity. We note
that in 1860, she has apparently given her name with the French pronunciation,
because the enumerator spells it Felicita. In her son Reges (or something
similar in this scrawled entry) and younger son Israel [spelled here as
Isreal), are with her. There are also two other children, whose last name
appears to be Branton.
1850 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 1 November, Chester Township,
page 71 (141), Hse/Fam #268
Felicita [Félicité] Dumond 42 F [No occupation listed] $1500 Real Estate
born Arkansas
Ragios [? maybe Ragies = Regis] Dumond 21 M born Arkansas
Isreal Dumond 19 M born Arkansas
Felicity Branton 16 F Arkansas
Frances Branton 16 F Arkansas
From the first names of the Branton children, Felicity and Frances, it appears
they are grandchildren. I have not been able to tie these two children to the
Dumond family line.
The age here has to be wrong, since age 42 would make her born in 1808, but we
know her mother died in 1804, and numerous family genealogies from different
families intersecting with the Dumonts report her birthday as 27 June 1791.
This appears to be based on government records from Missouri, New France.
There is some uncertainty, as some genealogies report the date as 27 February
1791.
Eldest daughter Virginia lives 4 houses away from her mother, married to Isaac
Love, with their first son David listed in the 1850 census. Between
Félicité and Virginia, next door to Félicité, is Caliste and his wife
Desirée [spelled Desira here] and their first child Mary.
In 1860, we find Félicité still as the head of a household, but only two
children are listed. We find John, age 14 listed first. This matches a
grandson of Louis and Félicité, son of Pierre who died about 1847-1848, and
his wife Mary Pinot. Mary appears in the 1850 census married to John Stokes,
and John and his younger sister Mary Dumond are in that household. At 14, John
was born in 1846.
The second child in Félicité's household is her granddaughter Mary Haines,
daughter of Mannett (or Manett) Dumont and D B Haines. We know Mannett died
about 1849, and it seems likely her husband died before the 1860 census. I
have found one record in 1850 that might be D B Hains [sic], with a previous
wife, the former widow Frances Stillwell, in Arkansas Post. Both are 35 years
old, thus born about 1815. But there is a child Mary A Haines in that
household that would be a child of Frances Stillwell Haines. I have not found
Manett Dumond in 1850.
1860 Federal Census, Desha County, Arkansas, 2 August, Chester Township, PO
Redfork, page 13, Hse/Fam #95
Felicita [Félicité] Dumond 65 F Housekeeper $6000 Real Estate $1200
Personal born Arkansas
John Dumond 14 M born Arkansas
Mary Haines [granddaughter] 12 F Arkansas
Félicité's age reported here again conflicts with family reports of her
birth date. At 65, she would have been born in 1795. This is closer to her
reported birth in 1791, but differs also with her age in the 1850 census.
Family genealogies report that Felicity/Félicité died between 1860 and 1862.
It was after November 1860, when she appears in the census. Her death is
reported variously as Desha County, Arkansas (last recorded residence) and
Arkansas Post, Arkansas County. We know she lived in Arkansas Post earlier.
I have not actually been there to find a grave.
In April 2008, I found an old posting on a Dumond family discussion list
giving us the details of Félicité's estate settlement, which provides a few
more details about her descendants. The settlement is reported in Probate
Court March 1862; the exact date of the probate is not given. That likely
means she died in early 1862, perhaps early March. The ultimate source of
this report is an article in the Grand Prairie Historical Society Bulletin in
October 1980: "Some Descendants of Marie Messager." One paragraph of the
article reports on the estate of Louis and Félicité:
"LOUIS DUMONT died in Arkansas County, AR 1833-34. Because, under the terms
of their 1810 marriage contract, all property acquired by the marriage
community 'will remain intact for the one who will survive', there was no
probate at the time of the death of Louis to assist in identifying issue. No
records were generated until after Felicite's death almost 30 years later."
The full text of the estate settlement for Félicité appears in the Notes for
Louis Dumont.
Jean-Baptiste Caillot was born in Illinois, a part of New France, one year
before the territory was taken from France by the British. Jean-Baptiste was
nicknamed LaChance ("dit LaChance," meaning "called LaChance"). In English
this means "Chance". Such names were given to French soldiers. The "dit"
name LaChance was given to his father Nicholas Caillot dit LaChance, and he
apparently continued that as part of his name designation, as I have found was
common in some generations.
A family genealogy shows the name "dit LaChance" for all the sons of Nicholas.
Sometimes the "dit" name would become so well known that it would be taken as
the name of the family lineage in subsequent generations. Nicholas was born
in France, and came to Louisiana Territory of New France as a young man, where
he did spend some time in service as a solider.
A descendant, Mary Jo Freeman, states in her genealogy of the Dumont family
that Nicholas was enumerated in the 1798 census of New France, where he stated
he had been born in France. Mary Jo from her research thought it likely
Nicholas was born in the Rhône River Valley. Jean-Baptiste and all his
siblings were born in Kaskasia. He was born in 1762, while it was still
French territory.
Nicholas married Marianne Giard about 1741 in Kaskasia, Illinois, (now
Randolph County,) New France, where Marianne was born. Mary Jo says that
Nicholas and Marianne moved to Sainte Geneviève, Missouri, with
Jean-Baptiste, after they married. Factors seem to indicate this would be
after Jean-Baptiste's second marriage, to Therèse Gossiau, on 23 July 1787.
This would make their move likely in the winter of 1787.
In 1803, the year Louisiana Territory was purchased by the USA, Jean-Baptiste
is listed by his anglicized name, John B Caillot. He and Therèse were living
at that time on a land grant in New Madrid County, Missouri Territory, USA.

We know that James Daniel Green's wife Eliza Arilla Bridgman died in 1914. In
the 1920 census, he is reported wife a different, younger wife named Lillie.
There is no wife named Lillie reported in family genealogy and notes provided
by a descendant, Houston Green. But Hattie Cain could have been named Lillie
Hattie (and Hattie would be short for Harriet).
James Daniel Green's wife, however, is reported as Lillie in his WWI Draft
Registration records.

Registered 12 September 1918 (location unreadable) Navarro County
There is a problem in the definite identity of the wife reported in 1920. The
Green genealogy provided by Houston Green reports that James Daniel did not
marry Hattie until 29 November 1921. Perhaps the family recorded the date
wrong or misread it in transcribing it from the Family Bible, which is stated
to be the source of the information. But their daughter Mary Louise (Mollie)
was not born until 1923, which matches better with a marriage in 1921.

-- Personal Notes by email form Houston Green, via my coresearcher Marion
Mixon
Further confirming their earlier marriage, in his 1918 WWI Draft Registration,
James reports his "nearest relative" as Mrs Lillie Green. IN these records
the normal person here is the wife. The home address is also the same as his.
James' second wife was Lillie Harriet Cain. This matches perfectly. Arilla
died in 1914, so if James was married, this would be Lillie Harriet Cain, his
second wife.
In the 1920 census, Lillie is also reported as his wife. However, here it
reports she is age 23 and married at age 23, meaning it would have been 1919.
But that is only one year different. The date of the Draft registration is 18
September 1918. As discussed below, the age of 23 is also 4 years younger
than the date of birth on Lillie's grave.
At any rate, we know they were married before 1920, so the error is in the
Green family records as reported by Houston. It may have been written down
wrong originally at a later date, or remembered later as a whole list of dates
and information was being written or recompiled, and perhaps miscopied. We
have to allow a date as early as at least 1918, since James himself reported
he was married. I must report the earlier date of 1918, since we know they
were already married by September of that year.

The wife Lillie here is only 23 years old, about one year older than James'
oldest son Jacob Andrew. This would make her born about 1897. But the
gravestone of Hattie Green in Curtis Cemetery says she was born in 1893.
Lillie Green was born in Texas, her father in Oklahoma and her mother in
Texas. We do not have any information on Hattie Cain's parents' birth states.
In Letter 8 extra notes Betty Hess refers to Jim Green's wife as Rillie
Bridgeman: "I remember Jim Green's wife's name. She was Rillie Bridgeman."
I found her as well as Jim's second wife in Cemetery Records for Parker
County.
Rillie is Arilla, Jim's first wife, buried in City Greenwood Cemetery. Born
Dec 6, 1876, died Jun 27, 1914, noted as "wife of J D Green." In 1910 the
wife of James D Green is transcribed by Ancestry as Leya R, but this is
probably meant to be Liza R. The R would be for Rillie, a nickname for
Arilla, by which Betty Jackson Hess refers to James' wife in her letters.
Birth year from the age of Liza R in the 1910 census is abt 1877, which
matches the gravestone birth date of Dec 6, 1876.
In the Curtis Cemetery records you sent me last October, we find Jim's second
wife Hattie, which Betty refers to on p 2 of Letter 8. "Jim Green married
Hatty Lane." (This could be Cane, in Betty's unsteady handwriting. And in
September 2008, Houston Green, a descendant of JD Green sent family
information that gave Hattie's name as Hattie Cain.)
The Curtis Cemetery register lists Green, Hattie Harriet (and we know Hattie
is a nickname for Harriet, also). Annotation on the grave/register gives her
husband. That might be why we did not recognize it earlier, since we did have
Letter 8 with her name at that time. No maiden name is given either, so that
link was hidden.
Hattie/Harriet was born on November 20, but they have no year. She died on
February 4, 1928. [This death date matches the date given in family
information from Houston Green] This places her as the second wife of Jim
Green, since Rillie died in 1914. I have not yet found Jim/James in 1930 to
confirm his widow status or other details. We do, however, already have
Andrew separately with his wife Essie (called Effie, as you note, by Betty,
probably just due to absent-minded association with the phonetic similarity of
her sister's name). The picture is fairly complete.
This would mean that Rillie is the wife (Leya R) in the 1910 census for James
D Green. The second wife in the 1920 census might Hatty under another name of
Lillie.

As common with the 1900 census, the year here is one year earlier than that
reported in other sources. The date on her grave is 2 March 1862, as reported
on the Find-a-Grave memorial below.

In the 1930 census, J T is reported as a widower. Yet a double grave that
seems to match Joseph Thomas and Martha Louellen Stroud reports that Martha
Stroud died in 1950, while Thomas died in 1932.

Mike Taylor, an excellent Mullins researcher, reports that Elizabeth is a
sister to Malvina Caldwell, wife of James P Mullins.

It appears that Elizabeth died about 1861. This estimate is based a
combination of factors. Her son Brantley, in his application for recognition
as an Eastern Cherokee, does not list Jerrome among his brothers. Jerrome is
reported as age 7 in the 1870 census, where Green Mullins' wife is a Jane,
whose last name is unknown.
If Jerrome is Jane's son, this may be why Brantley did not include him in the
Cherokee application. But if Jerrome is the son of Jane, then Elizabeth must
have died at least a year or so before his birth. An index record on deaths
has Elizabeth's family connections, but no date of death.
