The source that has the middle initial also calls this Shadrack Jr. Yet it does not have the middle initial in the father's name. Shadrack L also had a nephew named Shadrack, son of his brother Joseph. Other genealogies do have the middle initial L for both this Shadrack and his father, but not in the grandfather Shadrack's name, though these older two are also sometimes designated likewise as Sr and Junior. It seems too many people putting together a genealogy are just not careful or consistent. 1860 Federal Census, Gwinnett County, Georgia, 16 August, District 544, PO Sweet Water, p 733, Hse/Fam #963 Shadrick Green 51 M Farmer $0 Real Estate $50 Personal Born South Carolina [born abt 1809] Maniza [Benisa] Green 30 F b North Carolina [born abt 1830] Shadrick Green 6 F b Georgia [born abt 1854] 1870 Federal Census, Gwinnett County, Georgia, 2 July, PO Lawrence, p 42, Hse #279, Fam #282 Hay, Levy F 22 M W (No Occup reported) $0 Real Estate or Personal Rptd b Georgia [born abt 1848] Green, Ann 38 F W Keeping House b Georgia [born abt 1822] Green, Shadrack 14 M W b Georgia [born abt 1856] Shadrack Green Jr's burial memorial on Find a Grave states that his mother was Shadrack Green's first wife, name unkown.

A family genealogy has some information on this marriage and divorce. This genealogy lacks documentation of the personal facts, but appears to be presenting family information. Patsy's name is not given, due to her being shown as living in this genealogy. In August 2017, a descendant provided her full name as Patsy Ledgerwood. The marriage record had the middle initial of J, but it is not known what name that initial stands for. Note that birth year for Sheldon is given as 1941, while the Texas birth records report he was born on 30 January 1943. The report in Dumas matches the official record which reports the county only as Moore. The place of divorce is given as the city Dumas, matching the county of Moore in the divorce record.

The 1880 census gives us the formal form of "Gilliard's" name, which we find in various sources, Gilead. Several family sources and public records vary in recording Gilliard's name as either Gilliard or Gilead. The elite southern speech would pronounce the name "Gilliard" very similarly or exactly the same as the separate name Gilead. His mother's obituary names him Squire Gilead Green, Squire apparently being also a given name and not the old feudal title. 1880 Federal Census, York County, South Carolina, 15 June, Cherokee Township, p 25, Hse/Fam #239 Green, Hannah W F 40 Keeping House NC NC NC (b abt 1840) Green, Gilead W M 13 Son Works on Farm NC NC NC (b abt 1867) 1920 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 12 January, Lattimore (Township 7), District 64, page 7A, Hse #115, Fam #125 Green, Gilead Head Owns M W 52 NC NC NC Farmer Green, Susanna Wife F W 61 NC NC NC Green, Hannah Dau F W 27 Single NC NC NC 1930 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 25 April, Sandy Run, District 23-26 Page 2A, Hse #20, Fam #23 Green, Gilead Head Owns Has a Radio M W 62 First Married at age 16 NC NC NC Farmer [b abt 1868] Green, Susanna Wife F W 71 First Married at age 34 NC NC NC [b abt 1859] Green, Hannah Dau F W 37 NC NC NC [b abt 1893] Green, Hannah Mother F W 91 Widow First married at age 22 NC NC NC [b abt 1839] Lovelace, Louisa Sister-in-law F W 80 Widow First married at age 42 NC NC NC [b abt 1850] Notice how Gilead/Gilliard's name is spelled in the North Carolina death record.

It is the first indication I have had that Lamar was one of Hannah's names. Perhaps this was a typo for her name Hannah. There are several other misspellings here, including the county name (which I have entered correctly), and obviously Gilliard's name itself. Notice here also that the name for Gilliard's father is given as James Monroe Green. This takes us back to a discussions and uncertainty even within the family over this name. It is documented in various sources and asserted in family sources as both James Moore Green and James Monroe Green. The doctor filling out Gilliard's death certificate also comments that he has known Gilliard all his life, so we would think he would know the correct name of Gilliard's father. But other errors on this certificate and the uncertainty of the name of the mother here as Lamar (a man's name, and evidenced nowhere else I have seen) throws doubt on this source as uncertain. His mother's newspaper obituary in 1931 is well-styled and knowledgeable, and it presents his name as Squire Gilead Green.

The identity of this Susannah is uncertain. Different genealogies and records support the identity of her husband as Meshack Green, brother of Shadrack nd Abednego, all sons of Isaac, of Baltimore. But a land record, and perhaps other public records in Baltimore indicate that that Meshack was married to a woman named Mary, and they were still together when he transferred land to his brother Abednego in Baltimore in 1805. Meanwhile Susannah is reported to have married Meshack Green in 1794. These seem most certainly two separate individuals named Meshack Green. But I do not have enough details to separate them. Mary is shown as another wife of Susannah's husband for how.

The Green family line of James Toliver Green in Oklahoma, researched by Loretta Gregory Gay, know her name as Talitha, while Linda Hanks reports that the name is known in Texas as Delitha, a close phonetic match, apparently based on Talitha's marriage license, where her name is spelled Delitha. She is listed in the 1850 census as Telitha and in 1860 as Talitha. Most listings have some spelling of the name starting with T. Hanks' and Gay's information also match on the identity of Talitha/Delitha's husband. Loretta's maternal Green family knew him as Abe, while the full name was reported in Linda's information: Abraham Jasper Jackson. My later investigation into the family of Abraham Jasper Jackson of Montgomery, seems to indicate this is the wrong family. "Toliver Green b.1812 SC. Married Winnie Ann Bearden in Gilmer Co. GA. Had the following children all born in GA, Delitha b.1842, Daniel (David) b1844, Mary b.1846, Jacob b.1849, Jackson b.1850, Winna b.1852, Elizabeth b.1854 and Cynthia b.1857" -- Linda Hanks, RootsWeb Discussion Lists, 14 Aug 2004 (http://www.rootsweb.com/~txcooke/cookequery04.htm There are many Abraham Jacksons, and two major lineages that I have found forms of. Some genealogists have forced Talitha's husband Abraham into one of the other Jackson lines, where I cannot find him otherwise evidenced. I continue to search for more specific information on the Jackson lines, working with other Jackson researchers. I have found no evidence of a middle name for our Abraham. The firm name we have for Talitha's husband is only Abraham Jackson. Talitha's family name is spelled Greene in some sources. The Green family members I have known in Oklahoma consistently spell the name Green. I noticed that the death certificate of her son Samuel Westfall Jackson gives her maiden name as Greene. -- State of California, California Death Index, 1940-1997 Talitha is the daughter of Toliver Green and Winnie Ann Bearden. Talitha was born in Georgia, likely Gilmer County. In the 1850 census she is with her parents in Gilmer. 1850 Federal Census, Gilmer County, Georgia, page 397B (scan #100), Hse/Fam #691 Toliver Green 33 M Farmer born SC Winney Green 28 F born GA Telitha Green 7 F born GA The family moved to northern Texas a little before 1860. Talitha's great grandson Lloyd Jackson reports some background information on the Green family. Referring to his father William Jackson and William's mother, he says: "Papa's folks, you know, cousins and things like that, their name was all Green. But I can't remember none of their given names. But they was all Greens, all his folks on his mother's side, you know, his cousins. They's all sort of mixed Indians, just a little bit. My daddy [William Daniel Jackson] was mixed with a little Indian, but he didn't have enough to amount to anything, you know. He never did get anything out of that.... He didn't draw money or get any land. My daddy had a aunt who was full-blood Indian. I've seen her but I don't remember what her name was. I's just a little kid. [This is probably Fannie Colbert, a Chickasaw whose first husband was Daniel David Green (b 1844).]" -- Lloyd Jackson, Cassette tape interview, interviewer, date and place unknown, transcribed by Orville Boyd Jenkins February 2012 In 1860, Talitha is married and living in Cooke County, Texas. Her husband Abraham is listed as a farmer, but their post office address is Gainesville, the county seat, just south of the Red River border with Oklahoma, which was Indian Territory at that time. Abe and Talitha are living with a Moses A Jackson and wife Anna and their family, enumerated with the same house number, and a separate family number. See notes for Abraham Jackson for more discussion on this family and possible family origins for Abraham Jackson. 1860 Federal Census, Cooke County, Texas, 21 July, PO Gainesville, page 59 (scan 254), Hse #484, Fam #501 Moses A Jackson 31 M Farmer $320 real estate $130 personal b Illinois Anna Jackson 21 F b Indiana Charlotte Jackson 3 F b Texas James Jackson 3 M b Texas Rhoda Jackson 6mos F b Texas [abt Jan 1860] 1860 Federal Census, Cooke County, Texas, 21 July, PO Gainesville, page 59 (scan 254), Hse #484, Fam #502 A Jackson 23 M Farmer born Alabama Talitha Jackson 17 born Georgia James Jackson 25 M born Alabama Talitha's parents Toliver and Winney are living just a few houses away from Abe and Talitha in the Jackson household. Toliver's name is spelled as Taiferro, close to the original Italian form of this name Talliaferro. This might indicate that the family still at that time retained awareness of the formal origin and form of the original name. The name Talliaferro belongs to a British family of Italian origin, who were prominent in colonial Virginia. There are Talliaferro families living in North Texas today, like the family I knew growing up in Quanah, Texas. We see the name commonly used in the eastern states in the more English-sounding derivative Toliver, which gradually developed as a separate family name, and became a popular given name. Toliver is a common name in the 1800s for many Green lines deriving from Georgia and Carolina. 1860 Federal Census, Cooke County, Texas, 21 July, PO Gainesville, page 58, Hse #481, Fam #496 Taiferro [Toliver] Green 48 M Farmer [No real estate value] $250 Personal Estate born SC Winna [Winney] Green 38 F Georgia Daniel Green 16 M born Georgia Mary Green 14 F born Georgia Jacob Green 12 M born Georgia Jackson Green 10 M born Georgia Winna Green 8 F born Georgia Elizabeth Green 6 F born Georgia Cyntha Green 3 F born Georgia One record places Talitha and Abraham in Wise County, tExas, a bit southwest of Gainesville, Texas, in 1870. Their daughter Alice was born here, according to the death certificate of Alice's daughter Gertie. This death certificate rpeorts the place of birth of both parents, reporting Gertie's mother Alice Jackson as born in Wise County, Texas. The next public record we have of Talitha is the 1900 census. In 1900, Talitha Jackson is a widow, living with her daughter Alice and her husband Newton Philpot. They are in Township 8 of Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. This census tells us that her daughter Winnie Alice was born in Indian Territory in February 1870. This is interesting, since the next child, James Toliver Jackson, has been reported in family sources as born in Hill County Texas, while the last two children of Abe and Talitha, Samuel Westfall Jackson and Enoch A Jackson are both reported as born in Indian Territory (1874 and 1876 respectively). 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, 8 June, Township 8S, Range 2E, District 151. page 4B-5A, Hse #60, Fam #65 Philpot, Newton Head W M Jan 1868 32 Married 10 yrs MS TN MS Farm Laborer Philpot, Alice Wife W F Feb 1870 30 Married 10 yrs Ind Terr MS GA - page 5A - Philpot, [illegible] Dau W F Dec 1890 9 TX MS Ind Terr Philpot, Gertie T Dau W F Jan 1893 7 Ind Terr MS Ind Terr Philpot, Samuel C Son W M Oct 1896 3 Ind Terr MS Ind Terr Jackson, Talitha Mother-in-law W F Dec 1842 57 Widow 9 children, 6 living GA NC NC Randolph, Fannie Sister-in-law W F May 1881 19 Single Ind Terr TX GA Note that in this census, the father of Alice is reported as born in Mississippi, rather than Alabama, as in the census entries for Abraham Jackson. There is one other young woman in this household, Fannie C Randolph, who is listed as a sister-in-law of Newton Philpot. This would seem to mean a sister of Alice, and thus a daughter of Talitha Jackson. Family genealogists had worked a long time trying to figure out exactly what this relationship is. Marion Mixon, a grandson of Fannie, reports that she told him her father was named Randolph, but she grew up in the household of Talitha Jackson, and went by the name Jackson because all the other children did. Marion's sister Cindy Mixon Beam tells me that Fannie said mother Talitha told her that her father's name was Elijah, and he was born in Mississippi. In September 2007, a set of letters was discovered, written about 1984-5 by Betty Jackson Hess, a daughter of James Toliver Jackson, a son of Talitha and Abraham. Betty tells about the marriage of Talitha to a man named Randolph after the death of Abe Jackson. She does not tell us Mr Randolph's name. One reason there is little information on this man is that, according to Betty, he left Talitha before the child was born. That child was Talitha's last child, Frances (Fannie), who later married a Brinkley. Fannie's daughter Lucille Mixon Brinkley provides some more information, in letters made available to me in August 2010 (originals now in the possession of Beverly Mixon Hill, Burleson, Texas). "I remember mama saying an ole man showed up in Okla, and said [he]" was Randolph's brother from Camp Pot Miss." -- Lucille Brinkley Mixon, Letter to Linda Martin Hanks, "Monday the 10th" p2 "I don't know where mama [Frances Randolph] was borned. You'll laugh when you know her full name. She was named after all the aunts. Francis Telitha Cindy Clarenda (miss spelled probably). Her father Alegia [Elijah] Randolph left Oklahoma a month before she was borned. He took his son Lee Randolph who was 10 years with him. He went to Weatherford to sell land. He never came back. [p2] She said they thought he was from Campot [Camp Potts], Miss." -- Lucille Brinkley Mixon, Letter to Linda Martin Hanks, "Unknown Date" p1 Lucille mentions Lee Randolph a couple of other times in her letters to Linda Hanks. She says that Elijah's brother was once in Oklahoma and saw them, telling them that is where the Randolph family had come from. Perhaps the town they were referring to as Campot or Camp Pot is Potts Camp, in Marshall County, Mississippi. I have found Randolphs in Potts Camp. There is also a Randolph County in Mississippi. It is good to get the aunts' names from Lucille. Clarenda is Clarinda Barnett, a direct ancestor of mine. Clarinda was the daughter of Jorile/Jorial (Joseph Royall) Barnett and the wife of Jackson Green. Their son Toliver Jorile Green was the grandfather of my mother, Lou Ila Gregory Jenkins. Cindy was Cynthia Green, Sister of and Jackson Green, children of Toliver Green. Telitha (Talitha) was their sister who married Abraham Jackson. Francis is Frances Colbert, the Chickasaw wife of Daniel David Green, another brother of Talitha. Other sisters of Talitha and Jackson were Elizabeth, Mary and Winna or Winnie. Lucille mentions other children of Elijah. "Randolph had two daughters in Weatherford and one's name was Kirkendoll." -- Lucille Brinkley Mixon, Letter to Linda Martin Hanks, "Monday the 10th" p2 The 1900 census reports Fannie's birth date as May 1881, which would make her the last born of the children, following Enoch A (Ean) Jackson, born October 1876. Birth state is Indian Territory, which would also match. Since Talitha seems to have been married to Elijah Randolph at that time, this would mean that Abraham Jackson had died between 1876 and 1880-81. The time span would allow for him to have died and Talitha to have remarried and had one child during that time. In a cassette tape interview near the end of his life, Talitha's grandson Lloyd Jackson, son of William Jackson, tells the following about the second marriage. He is speaking of his father's grandparents, Abraham and Talitha. Lloyd seems to compress two generations here, because he refers to "Papa" which seems to be his father William, and "his daddy" which would seem to mean William's grandfather, Enoch. But the facts fit William's grandparents, Enoch's "papa" or "daddy" and mother, Abraham and Talitha. "She married again, after his [grand]daddy [William's father Abraham Jackson] died. She married a fellow by the name of Rambo [Randolph] - seems like he said it was Rambo. That's what he said his sister's name was. They didn't ever have no sisters theirselves, brothers and sisters on their daddy's side [sic]. But they had a half-sister. She married a man named Brinkley, Forrest Brinkley." -- Lloyd Jackson Cassette tape interview, Interviewer unknown, 14 December 1983, transcribed by Orville Boyd Jenkins 23 February 2012 Lloyd is saying "Papa," and "his daddy" by which I think he does mean to refer to his father William (Papa) and William's father Enoch. His references and pronouns are not clear. It may be he meant to use the term "Papa" for his grandfather, but sometimes it seems to refer to his father. But the facts he mentions about "Papa" fit William's grandfather Abraham and William's grandmother Talitha, mother of Fannie Randolph. This is confirmed by the mention of the daughter Fannie, who married Forrest Brinkley. The half-sister is definitely Talitha's daughter Fannie Randolph, who married Forrest Brinkley. The report about the second marriage of (Lloyd's great grandmother) Talitha Green Jackson matches other family memories, even with Lloyd's uncertainty over the surname of the second husband. The one discrepancy is that in the 1900 census, Talitha is enumerated under the name Talitha Jackson, while Fannie is listed as Fannie Randolph. There are various family memories about Elijah and the Randolph connection, but not enough details to get the whole picture. One source in our multi-lateral discussions on this subject said it was thought in their family tradition that Fannie was not Talitha's child but that she agreed to raise the child for Elijah Randolph, whose wife had perhaps died. Elijah is reported to have gone to Parker County, Texas, where there are other Jackson relatives, to buy some land. It may indicate he died while in Parker County. They never heard of him again, and we have found no record of his death or burial in Parker County. None of the family researchers have been able to find any record of Abraham and Talitha between 1870 and 1900 or of Abraham's death and burial. We have been unable to find any clear details about the Elijah Randolph that may have married Talitha. After a long period of fruitless searching a military trecord for Abraham was found in Indian Territory. See Notes for Abraham Jackson. We have some reports of an Abraham Jackson in trouble with the law around 1870 in eastern Indian Territory. It is not certain that this is our Abraham Jackson, but the presence of several men named Green with the same names as Talitha's brothers make it highly likely that this Abraham Jackson is her husband. So perhaps they lived in northern Chickasaw Nation, or Cherokee Nation, during the 1860s and till after 1870. Winnie Alice was born in 1870 in Indian Territory, but we do not know where exactly. The reported place of birth, however, of Sam, is in southern Chickasaw Nation, probably in or near Marietta, in what became Love County, or a few miles north in Carter County. That leaves the anomaly of James Toliver's reported birth in Hill County, Texas. It would match the events we now know if after the case with the law, Abe either was found innocent, or released after paying a fine, they moved away from the trouble area, to Hill County, Texas. Talitha's brother Jackson was living there around this time. His son Toliver Jorile, who also later moved to Oklahoma, was born in Hill County. Abe and Talitha could have then decided to move back to Indian Territory, but to the south this time, near their earlier home in Cooke County, Texas, near Gainesville. This would account for the birth of one child in Texas, between two at some location in Indian Territory. Abe could have died after Enoch's birth in 1874, which was probably near Marietta or Ardmore in southern Chickasaw Nation. Lucille Mixon talks about the possible burial place of Talitha, suggesting Marietta Oklahoma, or possibly Ada. She refers several times in her letters to a log cabin in Marietta where Talitha raised her children. "The only places I remember Mama saying anything about was Maryette [Marietta] and Ada. Mostly Maryette. The log cabin was still standing. If the log cabin is still there someone in Maryette will know about it (as such things are landmarks)." -- Lucille Brinkley Mixon, Letter to Linda Martin Hanks, "Unknown Date," p3 "As to Grandma Jackson I can't seem to find out where she was buried (Ardmore Okla and Maryette keeps sticking in my mind). ... She couldn't have been in Weatherford when she died or Mama would have surely told it." -- Lucille Brinkley Mixon, Letter to Linda Martin Hanks, "Unknown Date #4" p2 Based on letters from Betty Jackson Hess and the 1900 census, it appears that Talitha died about 1905. Several diligent researchers have so far been defeated in their search for burial information. Following the Jackson Family Reunion in Jackson reunion in Ringling, Oklahoma 29 May 2016, Descendant Marion Mixon commented: "We have come to the conclusion Telithia is more than likely buried with Enoch but no facts. Paul Jackson said he would go back and listen to tape. Not sure it will lead us anywhere." -- Marion Mixon, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 5 June 2016
