I also found at least one other genealogy that has records for James M Green for Oliver D, which seems even more suspicious. The reported death date and place reported above for both James and Oliver are the same as the Civil War record for Oliver D Green. The datre above for James' death is the date tha he was mustered out of service in the Confederate States Army, according to the military record below. There is, in fact, a second record for James M Green with a different death date in 1864, though the location is the same. In the 1850 census matching James' family, the child matching him is reported as 17 yeas old, under the initals that look like IM.

A transcription of North Carolina Marriage Records reports the registration of the marriage of Hanna McSwain and James M Green. GREEN, James Monroe and McSWAIN, Hannah 30 September 1860 by William McSwain, Minister Reg. 26 December 1860 (Page 175) Note: s/o James Monroe Green and Narcissa Hamrick Both bur. Antioch Bapt. Chu Cem, Cherokee Co, SC. -- GREEN(E) Marriages in Western NC Counties, http://www.geocities.com/pameladhudson/greenmarriagesNC.html Note that this entry lists Hannah's husband as James Monroe Green, the name others report for his father, while his name is reported by descendants and genealogies as James Moore Green. Some other sources have the same name for father and son, while others have the different names as I report in this genealogy: Father, James Monroe Green; Son, James Moore Green. In correspondence with a descendant, Donald Greene, I asked about this matter. His reply refers to some confusion even in family records: "A cousin of mine and me just recently had this same discussion. We believe his name to be James Moore Green. He is listed in his Civil War records as James Moore and Moore is a frequently used middle name in the Green(e) and McSwain family. This is just our opinion but our family has always recorded it as James Moore. However, on the death certificate of his son Gilead Green his name is listed as James Monroe. So there is some confusion even in the family." -- Donald Greene, email correspondence to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 3 July 2008 The cousin Donald refers to also contacted me and confirmed the name as James Moore Green -- Wanda Rabb, email correspondence to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 11 November 2008 1870 Federal Census, York County, South Carolina, 20 August, Division 103, PO Yorkville, page 80 (scan 496), Hse #562, Fam # 553 Green, James 27 M W Farming No Real Estate Personal Estate $100 b NC Green, Hannah 29 F W Keeping House b SC Green, Preston 9 M W At Home b SC Green, Reuben 6 M W At Home b SC Green, Gilliard 3 M W At Home b SC Green, Edward 1 M W At Home b SC The Hamrick Data pages report that J M died in 1901, and this seems to be the date on the gravestone. But in the 1880 census, Hannah is reported as a widow in a household with her children, living next door to her parents in (York County, South Carolina). This presented a conundrum, since the date of death on James' grave, next to Hannah, is December 3, 1901. Previous data I had seen in the Hamrick pages had also reported his death as occurring in 1901. "Hamrick, Narcissus (1806 - ); spouse: Green, James M (1802 - 1890) - m. Est 1822 in Rutherford, NC; child: Green, James Moore (1842 - 1901)" -- Hamrick Data Pages -- McSwain-Padgett-Moore-Green, http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~hamrick/wga50.html A fascinating story was submitted by a descendant about an episode in James Moore's life. This explains why James was away from home in 1880. He had two families. =============================== James Moore Green was arrested by federal troops in Rutherford Co., North Carolina, in 1871 for "Ku Kluxing." The jails were so full of Klansmen that many were released pending trial. James Moore Green never showed up for his trail. He fled to Pittsylvania County, Virginia where he met and married Martha Rebecca Johnson on 28 Dec 1871. Martha did not know he was already married with a family in Cleveland County, North Carolina. They had the following children: Edgar (married Bertha Frith); Narcissus "Sissie;" John; James William; and Ollie Maude married Craig Stowe. James Moore Green Jr stayed with his family in Virginia until his son Reuben (from his Cleveland County family) came to Virginia and found him. He cried and confessed to Martha about his family in return to his first family because they needed him. Hannah allowed James to return to her and he lived out his life with her in Cleveland County until his death on 3 Dec 1901. James and Martha's son, Edgar, would visit his half-siblings in Cleveland County where he was known to their children as "Uncle Edgar." -- Doug Green, Personal communication in Genealogy Guestbook to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 29 July 2009 =============================== This would mean he had been away from his family for nine or ten years when Reuben found him in Virginia. The children listed for James and Martha is consistent with this period of time. I have not been able, however, to find James and Martha in the 1880 census in Pittsylvania or any other county in Virginia. Doug Green explains his relationship to James Moore Green: "James Moore Green was my great-grandfather. JMG returned to NC before my father's birth, but his father (Edgar) and his NC half-brothers visited back and forth." -- Doug Green, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 30 July 2009 Doug directed me to the listing of James and his Virginia wife in the 1880 census, which was hard to locate due to fading and mistranscription. 1880 Federal Census, Pittsylvania County, Virginia, 14 June, District 175, Tunstall Magisterial District, page 28, Hse/Fam # 252 Green, James W M 37 Farmer NC NC NC Green, Martha W F 38 Wife Keeping House VA VA VA Green, Edgar W M 6 Son VA NC VA Green, Narsisie W F 4 Dau VA NC VA Green, James W M 1 Son VA NC VA Doug also kindly supplied me with copies of James and Martha's marriage license.

James Taylor Green went by Taylor. My mother and her siblings called him Uncle Taylor. Linda Hanks reports that James Taylor was a Baptist minister. This occupation does not show up on the census reports, but it was quite common for a minster to support his family with farming or a job. I cannot find any entry for James Taylor or his father Jackson in the 1880 census. There are very many Taylor, and even James Taylor, individuals that can be found in those years and later, but Jackson's family does not show up anywhere. LIkewise, Jackson and family have not been found in the 1900 census. This probably indicates they were in Indian Territory, as were some others of the Green and related Jackson families, where no censuses were taken until 1900. I cannot understand why no entry is found for them, however, in 1900. James was a little over 1 year old in 1880, and would have been about 21 in 1900, and did not marry until 1902. Another Green family researcher has found a census entry that likely is for our James Taylor Green, in Hill County, where we know his family had lived and where his older brother Toliver Jorile Green was born and related Jacksons were born. Taylor is living as a boarder in the home of Sidney A Faulkner, while working as a Drug Store Clerk. No information has been found to help us understand more about when and why he returned to his family's home place. Probably Taylor was in touch with other Green or Barnett relatives there. 1900 Federal Census, Hill County, Texas, 2 June, Justice Precinct 4, District 45, page 25A, Hse/Fam #50 Green, Taylor Boarder W M Jan 1879 21 Single TX Unknown Unknown Drug Store Clerk Can read/write The birth date given in this census differs from that reported in his Draft Registration in 1918, 27 June 1878. I have not yet seen the actual census sheet reported by this genealogy, but it could be a mis-reading of Jan. Also years of birth are often wrong in the 1900 census. I have seen a one-year discrepancy on between several Draft Registration records and family sources or other public sources. I did not have a birth date for JT from the family. In 1910, Taylor and Mattie Green are living in Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. Stephens County had been created out of Chickasaw Nation when the Indian Territory nations and the Oklahoma Territory combined by treaty into the new State of Oklahoma in 1907. Taylor is working in Marlow as a real estate agent. 1910 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 29 April, Marlow Ward 3, District 239, page 14B, Hse #265, Fam #272 Green, Taylor J Head M W 31 Married 8 yrs TX Unknown Unknown Real Estate Owns Home Green, Mattie Wife F W 26 Married 8 yrs OK MS TN Green, Harry Son M W 5 OK TX OK Green, Pearl Daughter F W 3 OK TX OK In 1918, Taylor and Mattie were living in Duncan, when he registered for the US Military draft on 12 September 1918. This registration gives us his exact birth date, 27 June 1878, but no place. The form used in 1918 eliminated birth place, which was in the 1917 registration forms. Before finding this Draft registration, I had only an approximate year from the census record, 1879, and the state, Texas. It is likely he was born in Hill County, Texas, but no specific record has been found documenting this. U.S. World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 James Taylor Green, age 40, born 27 Jun 1878 [no place] residence Star Route 2, Duncan, Stephens County, Oklahoma Occupation Farmer, self-employed, wife Mattie Green Brown Eyes, Brown Hair Registration 12 September 1918, Duncan Stephens, Oklahoma signed James Taylor Green When I found Taylor's Military draft registration, I also found another James Taylor Green whose draft registration card shows he was registered on the exact same date, 12 September 1918! Both had signed their registration cards with their full name, James Taylor Green. That other James Taylor registered in Shawnee, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, and was a carpenter, born in 1980. I found this eerie! I have found many unrelated Green families with very similar names. There are many Tolivers, several Taylors, even some other James Taylors, and of course many Jameses, Johns and other common names. I found a family with a child named James T, born in 1879, a year after our James Taylor, but in Shelby County, Texas. The father is John Ogden and the mother Nancy Ellen. apparently the same John. He also shows up as John Ogden in a genealogy that has confused this family with our James Taylor and Mattie. The compiler has mixed details from our family's James Taylor Green with this Shelby County family. This is probably because Nancy Ellen was born in Potter County, Texas, and James Taylor and Mattie later moved to West Texas, resident in Parmer County, and Mattie died in Amarillo, Potter County. John Ogden Green's wife Nancy E (Nancy Ellen Potts on the genealogy) was born in Texas, neither one fitting the known details of James Taylor Green, son of Jackson Green, son of Toliver Green. This is a different Green family that has similar names. There are three Greens next door to each other, but none of them are kin to us. This particular John Ogden Green was born in Alabama, which doesn't match Toliver, Jackson and Taylor's Green lineage. The John Ogden Green in Shelby County was born in Alabama. His parents were both born in South Carolina, which indicates he could have come from the same general line of Greens that James Taylor is descended from. Our branch of that South Carolina family had moved from South Carolina to Georgia in the previous generation, before Taylor's father moved to Texas. In the 1880 census in Shelby County, Texas, a Henry Green, living next door to this John Ogden, was also born in Alabama. At an age of 26, one year older than John, Henry appears to be a brother. Both his parents were also born in South Carolina. The Green on the other side of John is a bit older, age 32, and born in Mississippi. But both his parents were born in South Carolina, like the other two men. Since the parents of all three of these men were born in South Carolina, they are probably all three brothers. James Taylor's family was already in Indian Territory early during this time, as we know other Green and Jackson families were. In the 1940 census (below) Taylor reported he was born in Indian Territory. All the other censuses report he was born in Texas. His next brother, Daniel David, was born in Indian Territory in 1882. There were no censuses until 1900 in Indian Territory. We have located some of them through legal records of other kinds. We know Mattie's family were living there when she was born in November 1884. I later found confirmation that Taylor was born in Hill County, Texas. On the death certificate of his daughter Mable, who died at age 2, his birth place is reported as Hill County, Texas. Texas Death Certificate, Registration #125099 Mable Green Born 13 Feb 1926 Duncan (Stephens Co), Oklahoma Died 2 April 1928 Silverton, Briscoe County, Texas ** Father Taylor Green, born Hill Co, Texas ** Mother Mattie Lovin, born Davis (Murray Co), Oklahoma Burial 3 April 1928 Silverton This means he was living on a farm in Duncan, but also selling real estate in Marlow. In the 1910 and 1920 census, he is a real estate agent. In 1920, however, the census shows him and the family living in Marlow town. So they moved from Duncan into Marlow between September 1918 and January 1920. In 1920, Taylor Green is living in Marlow, Oklahoma, still working as a real estate agent. 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, Harry B Son M W 15 OK MS [sic] AR Green, Pearl Daughter F W 12 OK MS [sic] AR Green, Arlie W Son M W 8 OK MS [sic] AR Green, J Elmer Son M W 6 OK MS [sic] AR Green, George M Son M W 3 OK MS [sic] AR Green, J T Jr Son M W 1 OK MS [sic] AR Note that the birthplace of the children's parents does not match the birthplace of Taylor and Mattie shown here. The enumerator appears to have just copied Mattie's information for all the children. Her birthplace is also shown as Arkansas instead of Tennessee which we see in the 1910 and 1930 censuses. They were living for a short time in or near Silverton, Texas, not far from Amarillo. There was a daughter named Mable, or Mattie Mable, reported above in the child's death certificate. Her death certificate reports she was born in Duncan, Oklahoma, a little north of Marlow in 1926, but died a little over two years later in Silverton Texas, on 2 April 1928. But by the 1930 census, they were near the border of New Mexico in Friona, Texas. This tells us they moved westward form Duncan about 1927. No burial record has been found for Mattie Mabel in cemetery burial lists or Find a Grave memorials. By April census time in 1930, Taylor and Mattie had moved to Texas, farming in Parmer County. 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 [b abt 1879] Green, Mattie Wife F W 35 Married at 17 yrs old OK MS TN Green, Harry Son M W 24 OK TX OK Farmer Not a veteran Green, Arlie Son M W 18 OK TX OK Green, Elmer Son M W 16 OK TX OK Green, George Son M W 12 OK TX OK Green, J T Son M W 11 OK TX OK Green, Glen Son M W 8 OK TX OK Green, Frieda Dau F W 6 OK TX OK Mattie's mother's birthplace is now reported again as Tennessee, not Arkansas. On the children's entries, the birthplace of both parents is correctly reported in this census. It appears that Pearl is already married and out of their household. I was surprised to find that in the 1940 census, they were reported as living in DeQueen, Sevier County, Arkansas, in the Washita/Ouachita mountains near the Oklahoma border. This seems odd, since they had already moved to Friona, Texas, near the New Mexico border, where they were enumerated in 1930. In 1940 Taylor is reported as a Real Estate salesman. Maybe that was the reason they moved to Arkansas, and that did not work out. In his obituary, he was reported as a Farmer, living in Friona, as in the 1930 census. 1940 Federal Census, 4 April, Parmer County, Texas, 4 April, Friona, District 185-2, page 1B, Hse #31, Owns $23 [? the amount is like rent around them] Green, Taylor Head M W 60 Married Grade 7 Indian Territory DeQueen, Sevier County, Ark in 1935 Real Estate Salesman [b abt 1880] Green, Mattie Wife M W 55 Married Grade 7 b Indian Territory DeQueen, Sevier County, Ark in 1935 [b abt 1885] Green, Elmer Head M W 25 Single Grade H4 Oklahoma DeQueen, Sevier County, Ark in 1935 Radio Store Proprietor [b abt 1915] Green, Glen Head M W 18 Single Grade H4 Oklahoma DeQueen, Sevier County, Ark in 1935 Farm Laborer [b abt 1922] In 1942, James registered in the WWII draft, at age 63.

Family information conveyed to me by Loretta Gregory Gay, indicated that Toliver Green married Amanda Tatum West near Marietta, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. I later found their marriage license, however, which shows they were married in Cook County, Texas, a few miles south of Marietta across the Red River. Most likely the ceremony took place in the county seat of Gainesville, where the certificate would have been issued. Further, the certificate indicates they were both residents of Cook County.

But the family has no information on another child of Amanda and her first husband Gus West. We have information only for Lou Ada, born in 1877 (3 years old in the 1880 census) and George Taylor West, born in 1879. The birth date given here for Loiula is 10 years younger than Lou Ada West. In the 1910 census for Richland Township, Stephens County, Oklahoma, we find related families living adjacent or close to each other. Dock and Julia Gregory live next door to Joe Green.

The death of Augustus West occurred at some unknown earlier date. James Toliver's daughter Lizzie Leona is listed in the 1910 Stephens County, Oklahoma, census as Lizza. The enumerator has many misspelling, even of common names, on this page, which contains several family units of my Green or Gregory family.

This child Laura may be the daughter of Marvel's thrid wife Lucina who had been previously widowed two times. Laura would have been about 2 at the time Lucina's first husband died. Perhaps Marvel adopted Laura, so her name became Green. A transcripton of the key facts from James' death record was available, but no image.

Green, well known farmer, who lived for more than three score years and ten, in the Waveland neighborhood, died at this home there, Tuesday, November 21, at 3:15 o'clock, a.m. from pulmonary tuberculosis. Mr. Green's death came suddenly, because, although he had been in declining health for more than a year, he had not been bedfast and was in Hillsboro, only a few days before his death, he suffered from hemorrhages, and grew gradually weaker, until death came a few hours after midnight, Monday. Funeral Today The funeral services were held this morning, at 10:30 o'clock, from the Bass Funeral Home in Hillsboro, the Rev. T.G. Melton, pastor of the Hillsboro Presbyterian church, officiating, and the services being under the auspices of the Masonic Lodge of Hillsboro. Burial was made in Clear Springs cemetery, where are buried a number of relatives of the deceased, for three generations. Native of Missouri James Whitson Green, a son of the late Marvel and Elizabeth (Dyer) Green, was born in Hardin County, Missouri, December 30, 1859. At the time of his death he was 73 years, 10 months and 21 days old. The parents of Mr. Green were members of North Carolina families and after their marriage, they moved to Kentucky and then to Missouri, their son, James Whitson Green, being born during their short residence in the later state. They moved to Montgomery County, Illinois, when he was still quite young, and he was reared and educated in the Waveland neighborhood, which was his home, for the rest of his life. Mr. Green was married twice on April 2, 1879, he married Miss Emma Indiana Montgomery, who was a resident of this vicinity. They bought eighty acres of land, six miles south west of Hillsboro, which was one of the farms owned by the late William H. Brewer, Hillsboro banker and merchant, where both lived for the rest of their days. Three children were born to them, Tillie, who died in infancy; Eva, the wife of Roy Davis, of Williamsfield, IL., and Irwin, a farmer living at Manton, Alberta, Canada. Mrs. Green died on December 2, 1894, fifteen years after their marriage. On June 2, 1896, Mr. Green and Mrs. Eva Bailey Brown who was a resident of the Waveland neighborhood, were united in marriage in Hillsboro. Six children were born to them; August, who died in infancy; Lee, who lives at Pekin; Doris who is at home with his parents; Ruth, the wife of Dwight Young, of near Hillsboro; Elbert who is married and lives near Hillsboro, and twin daughter, Miss Clara, who is at home and Miss Kathryn, who lives at Pekin and cares for the home and children of her brother, Lee Green, who lost his wife a year ago. Besides these relatives, Mr. Green leaves seventeen grandchildren; a stepdaughter; Ruby, the wife of Roscoe Barry, of Collinsville; a stepson, Ralph Brown who lives now at Rathdrum, Idaho, and one half-brother and two half-sisters who do not reside in this vicinity. He was the last of his immediate family to die, his parents, four brothers, and three sisters having preceded him in death. Two of brothers, the late Martin Green and the late Andrew Green, spent their lives in Waveland vicinity, and will be remembered by many residents of the county. 25 Years a School Director Mr. Green was of the very highest type of farm residents of this county. He was industrious and frugal and reared a large family supporting and caring for them by the labor of his hand, on his own land; providing for them, by careful management and never ceasing thought for their welfare. He discharged his duties and responsibilities to his family and his community admirably and generously. He served as a Director in the Mansfield school district, for a quarter of a century, and was highway commissioner of Hillsboro township for several terms. He became a member of the Hillsboro Presbyterian church forty years ago, and retained his membership there until his death. He was a faithful and regular attendant of church and Sunday school, at the Waveland Presbyterian church in his home neighborhood, and was always interested in affairs of the church and anxious to do his part, when help was needed. He was a member of the Hillsboro Masonic Lodge, and had been a member of the Woodman for years, until recently. Mr. Green was the kind of man whom family and friends hold in affectionate regard, and who always put duty to others before their own desires. He filled a useful place in his community and will be greatly missed.
