In 1850, Isaac and his wife Mahala Carter Green have been married less than one year, and are enumerated in a set of Greene households in Platte County, Missouri. The head of the household listed after Isaac appears to be a brother, Elisha Green, about 6 years older. On the other side, the widow Ann Greene is head of the household and appears to be Isaac and Elisha's mother. But from the marriage record, we see that Ann Liinebaugh married John Green in 1841, while the sons Elisha and Isaac Tipton Green (Greene) were born in 1822 and 1825 (or 1829, as Isaac's age in his Confederate military record would inidicate). A sister Barsheba Carter is in the household of Ann Greene with three children. One is only 2 years old. It may be that the two older Carter children are the children of Barsheba's late husband with his first wife. 1850 Federal Census, Platte County, Missouri, 5 October, Lee Township, Hse/Fam #185 Ann Greene 50 F Farmer $400 Real Estate Value b Tenn [b abt 1800] Barsheba Carter 42 F b Tenn [b abt 1808] Daniel Carter 12 M b MO [b abt 1838] Martin Carter 14 M b MO [b abt 1836] Rebecca Carter 2 F b MO [b abt 1848] 1850 Federal Census, Platte County, Missouri, 5 October, Lee Township, Hse/Fam #186 Isaac Greene 22 M Farmer $400 Real Estate b Tenn [b abt 1828] Married within the year Mahala Greene 16 F b MO [b abt 1834] Married within the year 1850 Federal Census, Platte County, Missouri, 5 October, Lee Township, Hse/Fam #187 Elisha Greene 28 M [No Occup Rptd] b Tenn [b abt 1822] Elizabeth Greene 22 F b KY [b abt 1828] John Greene 1mo M b MO [b abt Sept 1850] 1860 Federal Census, Platte County, Missouri, 4 August, Lee Township, PO Farley, page 164, Hse #1166, Fam #1153 Tip Green 25 M Farmer Missouri [abt 1835] Hilie Green 24 F b Missouri [abt 1836] John Green 8 M b Missouri [abt 1852] William Green 6 F b Missouri [abt 1854] -- page 165 -- John F Baldwin 3 M b Missouri [abt 1857] U.S., Confederate Soldiers Compiled Service Records, 1861-1865: Isaac T Green Age 34, Birth Date abt 1829 Enlistment Date 1863 Military Unit Thirty-sixth Infantry The memorial for Isaac on Find a Grave includes some other family details. ---------------------- Isaac Tipton Green Birth 1825 Death Sep 26, 1863 Platte County, Missouri Non-Cemetery Burial Isaac married Mahala "Hiley" Carter Children: John Green b 14 Feb 1851 in Platte, Missouri William Franklin Green b 1853 in Platte, Missouri Mary Elizabeth Green b 23 Dec 1854 in Platte, Missouri Martin D Green b 1860 in Platte, Missouri Nicholas Riley Green b 1 May 1861 in Platte, Missouri Stonewall "Stone" Jackson Green b 1862 in Platte, Missouri ---------- Annals of Platte County, Missouri by William McClung Paxton "THE HANGING OF GREEN AND RAPP" "On the night of that memorable 26th of September a company of cut-throats met at the house of Jacob Fulcher, and hung him until he was unconscious.

I don´t know when or where he died. On the 1900 census MC [Martha Catherine McKee] was living with Uncle Fred in Bossier Parish, LA. I have Israel on the 1840, 1850 and 1880 census records. Just cannot find him for 1860 and 1870. I think they were living in Bienville Parish and those 1860 census records are lost. Israel married 7-10-1866 (64 yrs. Old) to Martha Catharine McKee (22 yrs.

As of the 2010 census, the population was 14,353. The parish seat is Arcadia. The highest natural point in Louisiana, a hill known as Mt. Driskill, 535 feet (163 m) in elevation, is located in north central Bienville Parish. The mountain is located on private land with public access by walking trail. It is named for James Christopher Driskill, a 19th-century landowner. Nearby is Jordan Mountain, with an elevation of 493 feet (150 m). Lake Bistineau and Lake Bistineau State Park embrace parts of Bienville and neighboring Webster and Bossier parishes. -- "Bienville Parish, Louisiana," Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bienville_Parish,_Louisiana ----------------- The 1840 census for Israel was found only in 2017, by Mari Jayne Burke, who had continue din correspondence with me since we had worked together on this branch of our Green family by email in 2007 and 2008. -------------------- I found my gr grandfather, Israel William Green, on the 1840 census in Claiborne Parish, LA. (Transcribed as Isaac W. Green.) It shows 1 free white male age 30-39, which would be Israel. It also shows 1 free white female age 60-69. I wonder if this was his mother? Is there proof that she died in SC! I can’t find any graves for either Israel or his mother in LA. -- Mari Jayne Burke, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 25 June 2017 -------------------- The first census actually found was for 1880, when Israel was enumerated with his wife Martha Catherine in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. At a later time the 1850 census was found, which reported Israel was unmarried. living in the household of Phelix Lewis. 1850 Federal Census, Bienville Parish, Louisiana, 23 September, Western District, page 258B,Fam #172 Phelix Lewis 47 M Farmer $15,000 Real Estate b GA Mary P Lewis 45 F GA Juliet Lewis 15 F GA Phelix Lewis 9 M b MS Pearce Lewis 3 F LA Israel W Green 47 M Carpenter b SC In 1880, the oldest child there is Jonathan, age 12 years. Catherine's age is 34, which is close to the figure Mari gives. If Catherine was 22 when they married it was about 12 years before the census. Ages and birth years will vary in the census, so even with Jonathan already 12, that is not a problem. However, in this census you will note that Israel is reported as 76 years old. This means going by the ages Mari has, Catherine had been married about 12 years, but Israel had been married about 10! Either Israel would be 78 or so, or Mari has the age at time of marriage wrong.

I have not found details of their residence during the 1860s to 1890s.

He is in the household of his cousin, Elbert E Martin, son of Nancy E Jackson Yeary Martin. His job in Eastland is listed as Tank Setter in the Steel industry. We can tell his and Elbert's work is related to the oil industry (matching Andrew's listing in Weatherford a month earlier), because of the high number of oil field workers in the town, and on the same page. One boarding house a few doors down has a large number of single men working for an Oil Well Supply Company. 1920 Federal Census, Eastland County, Texas, 5 February, Justice Precinct 2, District 106, page 19B, Ranger, Clay St (no house address), Hse #460, Fam #504 Martin, Elbert E Head Rents M W 23 TX US US Tank Setter, Steel Martin, Eula Wife F W 17 Texas Missouri Texas Green, Andrew J Cousin M W 21 Texas US US Tank Setter, Steel Several of us have been trying for many months (as of August 2009) to determine the exact relationship of Andrew and his father James Daniel Green to the Jackson and the other Greens kin to the Jacksons. This indication that Andrew is a cousin to Elbert seems to confirm a report from Betty Jackson Hess that this family of Greens were kin to her grandmother, Talitha Green Jackson, wife of Abraham Jackson. Betty thought James Daniel was a son of one of Talitha's brothers, but did not know which. But neither the Jacksons nor the Greens of Talitha's family have information about a nephew of hers that would match James Daniel. In 1930 Andrew has married Essie L Johnson and they are living a few houses down from Jim and Lizzie Jackson, who are enumerated in Household #137. 1930 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 17 April, Justice Precinct 8, District 20, page 7B, Hse/Fam #146 Green, Andrew Head Rents M W 32 Married at age 26 TX US US Farmer Green, Essie Wife F W 25 Married at age 20 TX TN TN Green, Dorothy L Dau F W 2yrs 9mos TX TX TX [b abt Jun 1927] Green, William L Son M W 11mos TX TX TX [b abt Apr 1929] Andrew J Green Birth Feb. 26, 1898 Death Feb. 18, 1983 CPL US ARMY WORLD WAR I Spouse Essie L Johnson Green (1904 - 1988) Children: Charles Ross Green (1925 - 1925) Baby Son Green (1941 - 1941) Ronny Lynn Green (1947 - 1956) Burial Curtis Cemetery, Weatherford, Parker County, Texas Maintained by Find A Grave, Originally Created by B Nov 02, 2011 -- Find A Grave Memorial #79727378, http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=79727378

Betty Jackson Hess mentions in her letters that Jim (James or J D) Green was a son of one of Talitha Green Jackson's brothers. But none of the brothers I have info on has a child named James or J D. Later information obtained in August 2008 from a descendant of James D filled out information on the family, indicating that Mollie's father was named James Daniel. One or more genealogies have as Jim's birthplace Indian City, Payne, Oklahoma. There is no such place. This place is also stated in the same genealogies as the place of death for several individuals even in my family, when we know definitely their places of death or burial in other locations. This appears to be the result simply of sloppy mechanical merging with no research verification. I have been unable to locate an actual city named Indian City, in Payne or any other Oklahoma County. I am aware of the commercial Indian City, near Anadarko (Caddo County), which is a demonstration village and arts presentation center for tourists. I have also seen this location listed for certain individuals born in the Unassigned Lands of Indian Territory-Oklahoma Territory. This designation is an error. There was no Payne County until 1898, when it was initially created as County #6 of Oklahoma Territory. This same scenario has been confirmed by the Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce. James Daniel Green was understood by his descendants to be a full-blood Chickasaw born in Indian Territory. However, the censuses recording J D and his family list them all as White. I have noted that in states other than Oklahoma, there are few enumerations of people with the designation "Indian," with only two designations being common, "White" or "Black" (also recorded as "Negro" in some years or locales). Other families named Green who were Indian are clearly so designated. It is not very likley that James Daniel was full-blood Native American, with blue eyes (WWI draft registration). This report of J D as a full-blood Indian would indicate that James Daniel Green is not related, at least directly, to the Green line of Toliver and his sons and daughter Talitha. Some of that family also did later marry Chickasaw women, which I also report in this genealogy. Others Greens married Choctaws. However, in some censuses, J D's father and mother are both reported as born in Georgia, where the other line of Greens came from. The connection of J D with Cooke County might also indicate some connection we have not discovered, since after migrating from Georgia, Toliver Green lived in Cooke County, Texas, being reported there in the 1860 census and at least through 1866 on tax and military rolls. Betty Jackson Hess reported in Letter 1 and Letter 8 (private collection) that she remembered three children of J D Green, Andrew and Oscar and a daughter Mollie. I had in the meantime found information on J D (Jim) Green in some censuses and burial information on Jim and two wives in the Weatherford Cemetery registries. I continued working with two cousins on the Jackson side to uncover more details on the identity of these Greens. In August 2008, Marion Mixon obtained family genealogy information from a descendant of James Daniel, Houston Green. This information reported a son named Jacob Andrew and a son named Oscar Landon. These match the two sons that Betty Jackson Hess remembered. However, I see Houston lists one child of Hattie (the maiden name is reported in Houston's information as Cain, while the info on the cemetery register erroneously indicates her parents were named Lane). There was no child named Mollie reported, but the daughter of J D Green and Hattie in this genealogy was Mary Louise. Mary L is also recorded in the household in the 1930 census. (See below.) Mollie is a common nickname for Mary and would refer to Mary Louise. Betty says of J D: "He was the same age as my sister Bessie. She was born in 1896." (James D's age in censuses indicate a birth in 1898. The Green family genealogy obtained later from Houston Green reports J D's birth date as 10 May 1877, and this date is reported on his gravestone.) Andrew's cemetery listing in the Curtis Cemetery register gives his info as b February 26, 1898 d February 18, 1983 "husband of Essie." This matches Andrew's age in the 1910 census, age 12 (born abt 1898) and the 1920 census, age 21 (born abt 1899). This matches Betty's information about Andrew Green. J D Green's info in the same cemetery (next page in the data sheet) reports: J D Green b May 10 1877 d March 7 1934. This puts him about age 21 at the birth of Andrew. This birth date differs from that reported in 1918 on his WWI draft registration card in Navarro County, Texas, which reports 10 May 1875. J D and Arilla show up in the 1900 census in Weatherford. This informs us that Andrew was born in Weatherford. Birth dates here don't match the family information for James Daniel and Andrew, being two years earlier for both. Arilla (Arrelia) is reported with the correct month and year from the family information. 1900 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 15 June, Weatherford Ward 4, District 67, page 22B, 404 Eureka St, Hse #443, Fam #449 Green, James Head W M May 1875 24 Married 4 years Ind Territory Arkansas Missouri Day Laborer Rents Home Green, Arrellia Wife W F Dec 1876 43 Married 4 years 1 child TX TX TX Green, Andrew Son W M Dec 1896 3 TX Ind Terr TX In 1910 we find Jim in Cooke County, Texas, married to a wife born in Texas, and all his children are reported born in Texas in both the 1910 and 1920 census. The sons Andrew and Oscar reported by Betty Hess are reported in the 1910 census. In this census the state of birth for both paretns has changed to Georgia. 1910 Federal Census, Cooke County, Texas, 30 April, Justice Precinct 5, District 60, page 10A, Hse #126, Fam #130 Green, James D Head M W 34 Married 13 yrs OK GA GA General Farm Laborer Owns [b abt 1876] Green, Liza R Wife F W 33 Married 13 yrs Borne 5 children/3 living TX TN MO [b abt 1877] Green, Andrew son M W 12 TX OK TX [b abt 1898] Green, Oscar L son M W 8 TX OK TX [b abt 1902] Green, Jesse J Dau F W 4 TX OK TX [b abt 1906] There is a third child, Jesse J, reported as a daughter, even though the spelling is a male name. (Later information from Houston Green indicates her full name was Jessie Jewel.) Jessie is also in the 1920 census, still with Andrew and Oscar, just as Betty said. 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 1918, when James registered for the WWI draft, his wife is Lillie Green. This is his second wife, Lillie Harriet Cain U.S. World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 James Daniel Green Race White Residence Barry, Navarro County, Texas Age 43, born 10 May 1875 (no location reported) Farmer, employed by Joe Farmer, Barry, Texas Wife Mrs Lillie Green Height 5.8", Medium Build, Blue Eyes, Black Hair Registered 12 September 1918 (location unreadable) Navarro County 1920 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 9 January, Weatherford Ward 1, District 61, page 8A, 107 Cypress St, Hse #145, Fam #167 Green, Jim D Head Rents M W 44 Married OK OK OK Laborer [b abt 1876] Green, Lillie Wife F W 23 Married at age 23 TX OK TX No Occupation [b abt 1897] Green, Andrew son M W 21 Single TX OK TX Foreman, Oil Field [b abt 1899] Green, Oscar son M W 18 Single TX OK TX Laborer At Home [b abt 1902] Green, Jessie J Dau F W 12 Single TX OK TX No Occupation [b abt 1902] The head of the family is listed in 1920 as Jim D Green, matching our James D Green of 1910. No Mollie is listed yet in these censuses, and we later learn that Mollie must be a nickname for the daughter of James Daniel's second wife Hattie Cain. This daughter is reported in the Green family information as Mary Louise, born in 1923. In the Curtis Cemetery records (Weatherford, Texas) we find Jim's second wife Hattie, which Betty refers to on p 2 of Letter 8. "Jim Green married Hatty Cane." (Initially I understood Betty's unsteady handwriting to be saying Lane. Then in September 2008, Houston Green, a descendant of JD Green sent family information that gave Hattie's name as Hattie Cain. So I expect the name Betty wrote in her letter was Hatty Cane. I will use the spelling Cain in the Green family genealogy.) 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's name as Jim D. Hattie/Harriet was born on November 20 1893 and 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. This would mean that Rillie is the wife (Leya R) in the 1910 census for James D Green, and Hatty is the second wife in the 1920 census. The names were different, but I had no way to probe for identity. The interesting thing is the wife in 1920 is called Lillie. This led me to surmise that was a second name besides Hattie for Harriet. Maybe she was Lillie Harriet or Harriet Lillie. Some genealogies do report her as Lillie Harriet. A problem with this is that the later-obtained information from Houston Green reports that James Daniel did not marry Hattie until 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. Then another factor that further argues against this Lillie being Hattie Cain is the birth date. Lillie is age 23, meaning born about 1897. But the birth date on Hattie Green's grave is 1893. But if this wife of 1920 is not Hattie Cain, then that means James Daniel Green had another wife between Arilla and Hatty, which the family information does not report. I cannot find any death information for a Lillie Green. So this is still uncertain. No connection has yet been found between Jim Green and the line of Toliver Green, whose daughter married Abe Jackson, whose descendants Jim Green also seems to be related to. There is one discrepancy in what Betty Jackson Hess says. She comments that Andrew was born in Tennessee. The children of James Green, Andrew, Oscar and Jessie, are all born in Texas. This would be consistent with our Greens from Georgia. All census reports say Jim was born in Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Census vary on the birthplace of his parents. 1930 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 4 April, Weatherford Ward 4, District 4, page 3A, 114 Eureka St, Hse #57, Fam #64 Green, Jim D Head Rents $5 M W 55 First married at age 22 OK OK OK Farmer [b abt 1975] Green, Minnie Wife F W 45 First married at age 16 TX TX MO [b abt 1985] Green, Mary L F W 7 Single TX OK TX [b abt 1923] Green, Felix M W 14 Single TX OK TX [b abt 1916] Mary L Green is the daughter of Lillie Harriett Cain. Felix appears to be Minnie's son from her first marriage, and should be designated as Jim's stepson rather than his son, or perhaps an adopted son. The birth date on Jim's grave is different from that in earlier sources in his life. His WWI registration gives his birth date as 10 May 1875.

Linda Dudley reports this child as James Elmer Green. When I first found this information in early 2007, I was uncertain about the name James since there is a later son named James Taylor Junior. He is listed in the 1920 census as J Elmer Green. It seemed odd that Elmer is also named James, though in earlier times I do find two children with one of the same names in some families. I got a confirmation of the name in July 2007, from a daughter-in-law of Elmer, Donna Green: "The J is for James Elmer. His father was James Taylor." -- Donna Green, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, July 2007 Elmer lived at Grand Prairie, Dallas County, Texas, according to cousin Loretta Gregory Gay, the family genealogist. She does not have a name for his wife, but reports three sons, Stephen, Howard and Gerald. Stephen and Donna Green and their family live in Grand Prairie now, only a few miles away from my sons. I learned this by email while living in South Africa. 1920 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 28 January, Marlow Ward 2, District 257, page 13B, Hse #441, Fam #562 Green, J Taylor Head Owns Home Free M W 41 TX GA IL Real Estate Green, Mattie Wife F W 35 OK MS AR Green, J Elmer Son M W 6 OK MS [sic] AR 1930 Federal Census, Parmer County, Texas, 23 April, Justice Precinct 2, District 185, page 6A, Hse #100, Fam #107 Green, Taylor J Head Owns M W 51 Married at 22 yrs old TX GA IL Farmer Not a veteran Green, Mattie Wife F W 35 Married at 17 yrs old OK MS TN Green, Elmer Son M W 16 OK TX OK In May 2008, Donna gave me information on the death of Elmer and Zelma.

Zelma died 4 Jan 2001 in the same place." -- Donna Green, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, May 2008 On the same day I heard from Donna, I found a new anonymous genealogy including the Lovins and some of the Greens. That genealogy, no longer online, also reports the death date for Elmer as 21 Dec 1996. With this information I was able to find other confirming sources. The Social Security Death Index confirms the death information: James E. Green Born 23 Dec 1913 Died 19 Dec 1996 Last Residence 98284 Sedro Woolley, Skagit, Washington SSN 462-03-0613 issued in Texas Before 1951 The Lovin-Green genealogy has a birth date one day earlier than that reported by the SSDI. This genealogy confirms the birth place as Stephens County, which we would expect from other family information. Notice that the date of death in the SSDI also differs from Donna's date, being 3 days earlier than the date Donna gives. The date of 19 Dec 1996 is also reported by the Washington Death Index. I suspect that the earlier death date is the actual date of death recorded on the death certificate, while the later date of 21 Dec 1996 is the date of funeral and burial. The Washington Death Index adds some additional information, but also reports the date of death as 19 Dec 1996. James E Green Death 19 Dec 1996 Place of Death Mt.

But I find that his Georgia death record (transcripotin) reports his father's name as Ira Green. This may be the wrong James Green, even though this burial is in Gwinnett County, wehre Shadrack and his family lived, and other names match children of Shadrack in this same cemetery. Further searches after finding this full name on the grave memorial led to a transcripoitn of a death record. But this shows the father's name as Ira Green, rather than Shadrack Green. This may indicate other errors and anomalies int eh list of children of Shadrack and his two wives. No burial record has been found for another James Green matching Shadrack's son.

James was born in 1880 in Texas. His birth certificate reports his place of birth as Glen Rose, Bosque County. Texas Birth Certificates James Isaac Green Birth 6 November 1880 Glen Rose, Bosque County, Texas Father John Green, Residence Glen Rose, Texas, born in Missouri, Occupation Farming Mother Marguriet Jane Kilmer, Residence Glen Rose, Texas, born in Douglas County, Missouri Birth certified by mother, current residence Route 1, Wynnewood, Oklahoma Affidavit issued 9 March 1942 in Garvin County, Oklahyoma This child was number two in sequence, of a total of 6 born Certificate approved by the court 16 Martch 1942 in Bosque County, Texas At first look, this is puzzling. The city of Glen Rose is in Somervell County. Family sources report the place of birth as Eulogy, Texas, which is in Bosque County. Glen Rose is very close to the county line with Bosque. Their farm was on a Glen Rose Rural Route, just over the Bosque Co line. The community there was called Eulogy. ---------------- EULOGY, TX By Karen Yancy EULOGY, TEXAS. Eulogy is near Farm Road 56 some nine miles northeast of Walnut Springs and fifty miles northwest of Waco in northern Bosque County. Charles Walker Smith founded the settlement when he moved his store there from Brazos Point; the store opened on July 11, 1884, and in 1885 a post office was established in it. The community originally applied for a post office under the name Smithville, in honor of a man called Uncle Billye Smith, but since there was already a Smithville in Texas, Smith's sister, Julia Smith Mickey, may have recommended the name Eulogy, based upon the idea that everyone eulogized Uncle Billye. This post office name was approved, and the office operated until 1912. In the 1890s Eulogy supported a school, at least three churches, a steam gristmill and gin, and several other retail and service businesses. Around 1900 a two-story wooden school building was erected at the community; the school's top floor served as a meeting hall for various associations. This building burned in 1929 and was later replaced by a brick structure. The school was eventually consolidated with those of Walnut Springs, after which the school building was used for community functions. The number of rated businesses at Eulogy had fallen to two by 1931, and after 1961 none were reported there. During the 1890s Eulogy's population was estimated at between 100 and 200, but in 1933 it fell to ninety-three and then by 1974 to forty-five, at which level it was still reported in 2000. -- Texas State Historical Association, https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/hne30 ---------------- 1900 Federal Census, Faulkner County, Arkansas, 15 June, Cypress Township, District 27, Page 7B, House #138, Family #142 Green, John Head W M Feb 1851 49 Married 22 years MO MO TN Farmer Owns Farm Green, Margaret J Wife W F Nov 1858 41 Married 22 years 9 children/8 living MO TN TN Green, James I Son W M Nov 1880 19 Single TX MO MO Farm Laborer Arkansas, County Marriages Index, 1837-1957 Lillie Stewart Age 19, Birth Year abt 1884 Residence Arkinda, Little River, Arkansas Spouse's Name James Green Spouse's Age 22 Spouse's Residence Arkinda, Little River, Arkansas Marriage Date 8 Mar 1903 Little River County Marriage License Date 5 Mar 1903 One genealogy reports that James Isaac died in Ardmore, rather than Davis, as most sources indicate.
