For a long time I found no source to clarify Nancy's name and origins. Then in Decembere 2014, I received a communication from a descendant of Nancy's sister. ------------------------------- Nancy was a sister of my great, great grandmother, Mary Ann (Gray) Cook. Although her parents are still a mystery, we do know that Nancy Gray’s mother was also named Nancy. Nancy Gray married Jacob M. Pentecost in Desha County, Arkansas, on 05 Aug 1852. This date is on file in the County Clerk’s office, Desha County Courthouse, Arkansas City. My great, great grandmother, Mary Ann Gray, married William Andrew John Cook before 1840, and her sister, Nancy, her mother, Nancy, and her brother, Isaac, are listed in the John Cook 1850 household, Richland Twp, Desha County (the Emaline listed is my great grandmother). Isaac is listed in Mary Ann’s 1860 household, Jefferson Township, Desha County. W.A.J. Cook, Mary Ann, and Mary Ann’s brother, Isaac Gray, all acquired Desha County land patents, involving adjoining acreage, which suggests they were planning on establishing a plantation (these patents can be observed on the BLM-GLO site). W.A.J. died about 1856, Mary Ann died 06 Nov 1862, and Isaac died of disease on 17 Jul 1862 while serving with Company E, 26th Arkansas Infantry Regiment, CSA. My great grandmother, Emma, ended up with all of the land, which totaled around 320 acres. She married my great grandfather, William Floyd Meeks, on 28 Feb 1867 (he also served with Isaac in Company E, 26th AR INF, CSA), and all of that acreage then became known as the Meeks place. -- Robert L.

This age matches a birth in about 1920. This is likely when Rolland Earl Gray was born to Earl and Gwen. The records for this famliy are all vairously erroneous. For instance, the SS record for Rolland Earl Gray report he was born in 1919, but there was no child reported for Earl and Gwen in the January 1920 census, so his birth must have been in July 1920. But that SS record also reports his mother as Earl's second wife Dorothy Sounders, whom he did not marry until 1924. She would, however, be the only mother Roilland might remmebr or have heard much about, since she was his step mother from 1924 to her death in 1926.

Also, in the 1930 census, only one child was reported for Gwen, named Edwin, so maybe this name was an error listing for Rolland Earl. Maybe the enumerator wrote Edwin by error instead of Rolland. More incredible errors have occurred in censuses! Rolland married Doropthy Irene Knupp in Yuma, Arizona, in 1941.

The place of death is not reported in this record, but burial was in a military cemetery in Riverside County, in southern California. The grave for Carl Edwin Gray reports his birth date as August 1917. There is no photo posted on the memorial for verification, so it is unclear if this date is from his grave or was provided by the manager of the FAG memorial Seeing the original creator of the memorial, it appears that birth date comes from his military records. His reported birth date in 1917 on his grave matchces the period when Gwen was married to Earl Thornton Gray. But no child is reported for Earl and Gwen in the 1920 census, bring the 1917 birth date into question. The report of Edwin in 1930 may be an eroneous enumeration for her son Rolland Earl Gray, as named on his Social security record. But the date of death and birth are also different form the dates for Carl Edwin Gray. His SS record indicates he died in Las Vegas and his SS card was issued in Kansas.

I have not found any additional record for them, but find Wesley married to an Agnes Dow, living in Los Angeles. Her Scottish immigrant parents are in the household, and their family is sharing the dwelling with a couple named Potter. There are two children in this household, aged 11 and 8. The oldest daughter Ellen could not be Agnes' daughter, since Wesley married his previous wife Eloise Batey only in 1920 and did not marry Agnes till 1926. Ellen is even too old to be Wesley's daughter by Eloise, since she was born in about 1917 The 1930 census reports that he was first married at age 21, so about 1917. So Wesley married his first wife in about 1917. I have not found a marriage record for that marriage. In the 1920 census, Wesley is reported as married, matching his record of marriage to Eloise in February 1920. But his wife is not in the home, nor any children. It may be that Ellen was in her maternal grandparents' home, if her mother died, or if she and Wesley divorced. But then Ellen and her younger sister Margaret are in Wesley's household in 1930. The younger daughter Margaret was Eloise's daughter. Wesley married his next wife Agnes on 30 Dec 1926, when Margaret would have been about 2 years old.

I note that a biography (see below) rpeorts he was in the 5th Regiment, but Company K. Regiments in that time were sometimes renumbered as a state regiment is incorported into a broader force, or forces are realigned, or reassigned. U.S. Civil War Soldiers, 1861-1865 Alfred Green Confederate, Private, 12th Regiment, Texas Infantry (Young's), Company K A burial memorial for Eliza Ellen Decker Green is linked to Alfred's memorial on Find a Grave, reporting her as his wife. The name matches the censuses available. The grave marker for Eliza Ellen Decker reprots she died on 21 March 1868. In the 1870 census the second person reported, normally where the wife is reported, is also named Eliza. This Eliza Green is keeping house, but this census did not report relationships to the head of the household. But she is only 21 years old. Since the first child Olive (Olevia) is 8 years old, this unidentified Eliza could not be the mother of these children. Did Alfred marry a second wife named Eliza? Or is this a niece or other relative? This Eliza was born about 1849 in Missouri. A family genealogy referenced on Eliza's FAG memorial indiocates she was born in 1845 in Missouri. 1870 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 24 August, Precinct 2, PO Ft Worth, page 10, Hse/Fam #198 Green, Alfred M 34 M Farmer $500 Real Estate $500 Personal Estate born Georgia [b abt 1836] Green, Eliza 21 F Kg House born Missouri [b abt 1849] Green, Olive 8 M born Texas [b abt 1862] Green, Rolly [Raleigh] 5 M born Texas [b abt 1865] No 1880 census record has been confirmed for Alfred. ----------------- The following 1880 census record appears to match Alfred. The wife is also named Eliza, but is about 10 years older than the Eliza in the 1870 household. But the children are more like a similar family of Andrew McClure Green, born in Missouri, and his wife Eliza Jane Huff. They are buried in the Greenwood (City) Cemetery in Weatherford, while Alfred and Eliza are buried in Clark Cemetery, in the rural area north of Weatherford. Indications are that Alfred and his Eliza and family lived on a farm in the county. No connection has been confirmed between Andrew McClure Green and Alfred Green's family. Andrew's parents are identified by links on their burial memorials on Find a Grave as Zedekiah Samuel Green (1803 - 1873) snd Susanna McClure Green (1811 - 1888) from North Carolina. There are several lines of Greens in Parker County and nearby counties who are not connected or whose connections are uncertain, some married into the same families in the county and neaighboring areas. Andrew McClure Green and Eliza Jane Huff had one son named Zedediah, who may be reported in the second child here, whose name in this censews was written over and confused, difficult to read. 1880 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 22 June, Weatherford, District 134, page 21 (scan 347), Hse/Fam #207 Green, A M W M 50 Married Farmer MO MO MO [b abt 1830] Green, E G W F 42 Married Keeps House TN TN TN [b abt 1838] Green, Wm W M 19 Farm Hand TX MO TN [b abt 1861] Green, Zetta [Zedda?, perhaps for Zedekiah?] W M 18 Son Farm Hand TX MO TN [b abt 1862] Green, Mollie W F 15 Dau At Home TX MO TN [b abt 1865] ----------------- Alfred's grave marker does have his name as A M Green, matching the above census. The age and resulting birth date of A M Green in the census is closer to Andrew, born in 1829, than to Alfred, born in 1833 (according to his grave). AM's wife EG in 1880 is about 10 years older that the 21 years of the young Eliza in Alfred's hosuehold in 1870, hwo may not even be his second wife. Their birth states differ as do Andrew's and Alfred's. But Alfred's biography-obit (see end of notes) reports that Eliza Decker Green died in 1868. In 1900, Alferd was living in the household of his son Raleigh, again in the rural Precinct 2 of Parker County. His obit below reports he died on his own farm, so it is not clear if in 1900 he was in Raliegh's household on Raleigh's farm (he is reported as owning the farm) or Raleigh's home was on the same farm land. 1900 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 6 June, Justice Precinct 2, District 70, page 8A-8B, Hse #40, Fam #44 Green, Raleigh Head W M Dec 1866 33 Married 9 yrs TX GA GA Farmer Owns Green, Ellen Wife W F Jan 1871 29 Married 9 yrs 5 children/5 living GA GA GA Green, Arville Son W M Apr 1892 8 Single TX TX GA Green, Charles Son W M Nov 1893 6 Single TX TX GA - page 8B - Green, Myrtle E Dau W F May 1895 5 Single TX TX GA Green, Claude Son W M June 1897 2 Single TX TX GA Green, William Son W M Apr 1899 1 Single TX TX GA Green, Alford M Father W M Nov 1833 65 Widowed GA GA GA A burial in Parker County, Texas, matchesd Alfred Green, son of Anderson and Sarah Green.

An obit for Alfred was posted on his memorial on Find a Grave, but it does not have the date of publication or state any absolute dates. It does saya the obit was published the day of the burial, Saturday, which by the date of death, announced as on Friday, would be 17 Nov 1907. The obituary reports burial in the Dodson Cemetery, wihch cannot be identified. It may be an older name for Clark Cemetery ------------------- For Fifty Years Parker County Citizen Alfred Green Died Friday Afternoon [15 Nov 1907], near Carter, of Pneumonia, Aged 70 Years. and Was Buried Saturday [17 Nov 1907] Afternoon For 50 years a citizen of Parker county, and in the 70th year of his life.

His grave has the death date as 15 November 1907, matching Friday as reported by the obit. From the language of the obituary, we can tell the article was published the day of burial, which the headline announced as Saturday, the day after death. A more complete bio-obit is provided by Clark Cemetery History, with an exerpt from a paper by Kimberly Boretsky. Biography-Obituary of Alfred M Green --------------------- Alfred M. Green, a pioneer farmer and resident of Parker County, was born November 6, I833 in Raleigh, North Carolina. He married Eliza Ellen Decker born June 2. 1845, from Martinsburg, Blair County, Pennsylvania. Sometime between the years 1857 and 1861, Alfred M.

Green, American Civil War veteran and pioneer farmer died November 15, 1907 in Parker County, Texas.

According to a marriage record, Ally Greene and her sister were born before the marriage of their father Ambrose to his long-time wife Nancy Watson in 1845. In 1850 Ambrose's wife appears as Lavina, which may be a second name for Nancy. This means Nancy (Lavina) was not their mother, since both were born before 1845. 1850 Federal Census, DeKalb County, Alabama, 17 December, Division 25, p 737 (scan 368), Hse/Fam #581 A Greene 31 M Farmer $no value stated for Real Estate b South Carolina [born abt 1819] Lavina Greene 23 F Georgia Cannot read or write [born abt 1827] Ally Greene 8 F Alabama [born abt 1842]
