descended from his son, Thomas Green, Sr., Thomas Green, Jr., Amanda
Green,Laura Bryant, etc. My record shows Lucretia's birth date to be 1755 in
Pendleton, SC. If so, the marriage date you have [1753 in the tree in

There is a record of marriage of a Thomas Green who matches this son of
Meshack and Lucretia, where the wife's name is Isabel.  It seems likely that
this Isabel and Zelpha Fraser are the same person.  I am assuming so till a
record can confirm that there was another Thomas Green who so closely matches
our Thomas in age and location.  One limitation is that while places and names
are provided, no marriage date is reported in this transcribed record in the
collection.

-----------------
Pendleton District, named after US Judge Henry Pendleton, is a former judicial
district in South Carolina. It existed as a county or a district from 7 March
1789 to 20 December 1826.
In the colonial period, the land around the coast was divided into parishes
corresponding to the parishes of the Church of England. There were also
several counties that had judicial and electoral functions.

As people settled the backcountry, judicial districts and additional counties
were formed. This structure continued and grew after the Revolutionary War. In
1800, all counties were renamed as districts. In 1868, the districts were
converted back to counties. The South Carolina Department of Archives and
History has maps that show the boundaries of counties, districts, and parishes
starting in 1682.

Pendleton County was created on 7 March 1789 in the former Indian lands. It
included the current Anderson and Pickens counties and all but about 70 square
miles (180 km2) along the Chattooga River of Oconee County. The land along the
Chattooga belonged the Cherokee and Creek peoples. Pendleton County was
attached to Abbeville.

On 19 February 1791, Pendleton County became part of the new Washington
District, which also included most of Greenville County. On 1 January 1800,
Washington District was disbanded. Pendleton County and Greenville County were
renamed as districts.

On 19 December 1816, Pendleton District gained the Indian lands along the
Chattooga. Finally, on 20 December 1826, the Pendleton District was abolished
and replaced by Anderson and Pickens Districts. Pickens District incorporated
both the current Pickens and Oconee Counties.

Notes for Toliver GREEN


Toliver Green was the son of Daniel David Green and Mary.

The name Toliver appears in several Green lineages from east to west, which
may indicate some relationship between the lines of Greens.  There are several
lines of Greens, however, that we find in Texas and Oklahoma, that I have not
been able to tie together.  The name Toliver or Tolliver is a family name, but
until July 2009 I had not been able to determine the origin of this.  Only
then did I discover the origin of this unusual name.

This is an anglicisation of the Italian name Talliaferro.  I knew this family
name from my childhood in North Texas.  But I had never known that this name
was associated with a noble English family involved in the early settlement of
Virginia.  The Greens and Talliaferros, along with several other prominent
families, intermarried and signs of their linkage shows up in the use of the
family names as given names for the lines with other surnames.  A good example
is the individual named James Green Tolliver (1886-1981) in Summers County.
--  Taliaferro/Toliver Times, Issue 25,
http://www.spingola.com/TaliaferroTimes/TT25.htm

We would then expect our Toliver Green to have ancestors with the surname
Toliver or Tolliver.  Perhaps this clue will lead to the link between the
other Green lines who are otherwise unrelated but also have a recurrence of
the name Toliver/Tolliver as a given name in Oklahoma.

"The (M) stands for Mary.  I have my great grandmother's supplemental
application.  Her name was Fannie Bryant Bruce.  Her father was Hardy Bryant. 
Hardy's mom was Fannie Green, daughter of Daniel Green & Mary Green.  There
was the name Mashack in the old Green Bible, said William Bryant, brother of
Hardy Bryant.  They were rejected on their Cherokee blood, but I know they
were Cherokee.  Fannie Green was born in 1808, had a brother Isaac 1801, John
1804, Thomas 1806, Fannie 1808, Daniel 1810, Elizabeth 1812, Andrew Jackson
1815, Toliver 1817, Enoch 1820, Isona 1823."

http://www.ourfamtree.org/browse.php?pid=60396

Toliver is mentioned among early settlers in Cooke County, Texas, under the
name Taliferro Green.

"By 1860, there were nearly 40 families listed in the census from Fish Creek
to the river bottoms of Sivells Bend, Warrens Bend and Blue Hollow. Among them
were William Blue, Orastus Blue, Randolf Bateman, Taliferro Green, William
Kuykendall, Dr. J.B. Stone, Richard Corn, Thomas Rose, Lankston Pace, D.C.
Wheeler, Wm. H. Hobbs, James Potter, Ben Scanland, Garrot Addington, James L.

Toliver Green and his wife Winney are found in Gilmer County, Georgia, in the
1850 census.  They moved to northern Texas a little before 1860.

A match to Toliver's parents and siblings was made by comparison to a
genealogy from World Family Tree, Volume 4.  The date range estimated in WFT
for Toliver's birth matches the birth year we have based on census information
on the known Toliver Green in our family.

The father's birthplace in this tree was South Carolina, matching two
different family sources for South Carolina as the birthplace for Toliver. 
This also matches the information in WFT that Toliver's brother Thomas Perry
Green, the last brother born before Toliver, was also born in South Carolina.

Toliver is listed in the court records of Hall Co, GA dated 8 Apr 1859 as
receiving $77.00 as part of his distribution share of the estate of Daniel
Green.
--  World Family Tree, Volume 4, Pedigree #1286

This family was known to the Greens of Oklahoma who were descendants of
Toliver Jorile Green, son of Jack Green.  Loretta Gregory Gay (granddaughter
of Toliver Jorile Green) had compiled the names remembered by her mother's
family.  The name of Toliver, grandfather of Toliver Jorile, was not known.

Other names and information, including the name of Toliver and his wife Winnie
Ann Bearden, was provided by Linda Hanks of Weatherford, Texas, who discussed
this family on a RootsWeb email discussion group.

Linda reported all the children she knew were all born in Georgia.  Not all
the children listed by Linda were known to the family in Oklahoma.  Linda,
likewise, did not have the name of James Toliver Green, last-born child of
Toliver Green.  James was the brother of Jackson (Jack) Green, father of
Toliver Jorile.

James Toliver was born in Texas, in January 1861.  Linda reported that Toliver
and family were in Cooke County, Texas, in 1860.  I found the census record
showing them in or near Gainesville.  This information on children thus
meshes.  Toliver Jorile was born in Hill County, Texas.

Here is a reconciliation list of the persons as reported by Loretta Gregory
Gay and Linda Hanks.

Hanks               Gregory
======             =======
Delitha              Talitha
Daniel (David)   Dan
Mary
Jacob               Jake
Jackson            Jack
Winna
Elizabeth           Lizzie
Cynthia             Cynthia
James Toliver

Jackson was no doubt named for Toliver's brother Andrew Jackson.  No
documentation has been found, but we suspect that Toliver's son Jackson was
also Andrew JAckson.  He always went by Jack.

Other lists found since then have similar names for these children shown in
the census.  Another variation of Talitha's name is Delithia, provided by
Marion Mixon, also researching this family.  Other variations in various
records and genealogies are Telitha, Telithia and Delthia.  The spelling on
her marriage certificate is Delitha.  But most censuses have some form of the
name starting with a T.

Loretta also had information that matched Linda's on the husband of
Talitha/Delitha.  Her Green family know her husband as Abe, while the full
name was reported in Linda's information: Abraham Jasper Jackson.  (The middle
name Jasper has been proven to be an error, from an erroneous association of
our Abraham with an Abraham Jasper Jackson of Montgomery, Alabama, whose
further details and family configuration conflict with other known facts of
Abraham Jackson who married Talitha Green and moved to Indian Territory.)

In 1860, we find this family near Gainesville, Cooke County, Texas.  They are
living on a farm, but their post office is Gainesville, the county seat.  This
is straight north of Denton, on the Red River [now on I-35].  Toliver's name
is unusual here.  Ancestry has transcribed the entry as Taifeno, which has, of
course, been reported and copied by various genealogies.  THe current spelling
on Ancestry is Taifern, ignoring the final O.  In May 2011, in rethinking
details about this family, a sudden connection lit up.  In rechecking the
Green family entries, I realized this name in the 1860 census is Taiferro, not
Taifeno.

This directly relates to the original form of this name, the family name of
Taliaferro.  The two Rs here, written as print Rs linked to adjoining letters
and seen by most as an N, look just like other Rs on this page!  This probably
indicates that Toliver knew and reported the name as a from of that original
name Taliaferro.  The pronunciation may have modified the name as Toliver said
it, or the enumerator may not have heard or represented it accurately.  In one
tax roll, his name was also spelled as Talapher.

1860 Federal Census, Cooke County, Texas, 21 July, Gainesville, page 58, Hse
#481, Fam #496
Taiferro [Taliaferro or Toliver] Green  48 M Farmer [No real estate value]

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

Other names in the family are quite readable and match exactly those known
otherwise.  Four children have been born since the 1850 census in Georgia:
Jackson 10, Winna 8, Elizabeth 6 and Cyntha (Cynthia) 3

The census shows all children born in Georgia.  The youngest, Cynthia, is 3,
so the family moved sometime after June 1857.  No further record has been
found of Mary and Wina.  these daughters may have died young.  These names
were not even known to Toliver Jorile Green's family.

Many genealogies report Daniel as the father of Toliver and his siblings.  The
information I have on Daniel (or Daniel John) Green, reported to be the father
of Toliver, is that his wife's name began with an M, but I have found no
source with the full name of the wife.  There may have been an earlier Daniel
I have not yet found in sources.

A cousin and researcher on our Green and Jackson lines, Kati Cain, in February
2015 discovered some Texas tax rolls naming Toliver Green and his son Daniel
in Cooke County.  Both appear in several years' tax rolls.  The first year we
find them is 1862

Texas, County Tax Rolls, 1846-1910
Cooke County, 1862
Green, Toliver  Poll Tax $1.00  State Tax $2.14
--  FamilySearch.org

Kati also found records referring to pioneers in the Gainesville area
indicating that Toliver Green owned land north of Gainesville in the Sivells
Bend area.  This is a little peninsula of Texas surrounded by a meander of the
Red River where it curves north to a point just southwest of the city limits
of Marietta, Oklahoma, then flows back south, then a little bit southwest
before continuing in a somewhat eastern direction, to give the Texas-Oklahoma
a jigsaw puzzle look.

Also in February 2015 another cousin and coresearcher on the Greens and
Jacksons, Marion Mixon, found some military records that appear to be for our
Toliver Green  He was in Cooke County, Texas, where he was enumerated in the
1860 census.  In 1864, he served for a short time as a Private in the Texas
State Troopers, a frontier force cooperating with the Confederate States of
America army during the Civil War.

The name Cook is discernible, and appears to be saying Cook County, though the
name of the Texas county where Toliver lived was spelled Cooke.  This was
about 18 months before the end of the Civil War.  This is the first indication
I have had that he was in the military after moving to Texas.

This apparently means "Cooke County Company, 1st Frontier District."  The
designation TST indicates a Texas state military defense force called Texas
State Troops.

"Texas State Troops, 1861-1865 - From the Texas State Archives -- Texas was
divided into military brigade districts for the purpose of organizing State
Troops for the defense of the state. Many people confuse military records they
receive from the Texas State Archives that show the initials "TST" or "TM".
Persons with these designations were members of the various State Troop
brigades and not the regiments, battalions, companies, legions, etc. that bore
Confederate States Army designations."

"Texas State Troopers & the CSA -- Texas State Troopers would be enrolled for
a period of 6 months to a year. These TST were eligible for pensions and then
all TST during the time period were made eligible."

William Quayle, mentioned on Toliver's TST muster card, and associated cards
for his troop, was a commander responsible for protecting the westernmost
territory of the State of Texas during the Civil War.

--------------
William Quayle commanded the First Frontier District. The First was the
northern most of the districts and was made up of the present day counties of
Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Foard (not organized until 1891), Hardeman,
Haskell, Jack, Jones, Knox, Montague, Palo Pinto, Parker, Shackelford,
Stephens, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, Wise, and Young.

All of these volunteers were meant to do the work once performed by the
Rangers. Many men answered the call and helped to defend their homes against
the dangers presented by living on the frontier.   These men were not members
of the Confederate States Army, but were members of the State Troops of Texas. 
They were organized, supplied and paid by the government of Texas.   It was
the mission of these men to protect the western most settlements of Texas
against attacks from all enemies. Unfortunately, not a lot of publicity has
been given to their service.
--  Texas State Troops, http://www.ctmcm.com/TexasStuff/TXStateTroops.html
--------------

Toliver was listed again on the Cooke County tax rolls in 1884 and 1866.  In
1884, his name was closer to the original Italian form Toliver comes from,
Talliaferro.  It is faded, but appears to read Talapher.  Toliver is not on
the rolls in 1867, which I have been through page by page.  From the lack of a
record in 1867, it would suggest that Toliver died before the tax roll in
January 1867.  But he is also missing from 1865, so that is not definitive.

In 1866, listed just above Toliver in the roll is a D Green, which would be
his son Daniel (Daniel David).  Neither owns land, but Daniel has 1 horse and
5 cattle.  In 1864, Toliver was listed as owning cattle, but not in 1866.

Many other tantalizing clues went unconfirmed for years of research and
collaboration by a number of Green-Jackson researchers.  One of these was on
site in the Chickasaw Nation, a registered Chickasaw cousin in the Jackson
line, Kati Jackson Cain.  Cati was able to do original research on the actual
tribal records in their archives and reported in late October 2015 to her
cousins Marion Mixon and Orville Boyd Jenkins on some critical discoveries
from these tribal records, which fill in some gap[s in our knowledge of the
Greens and Jacksons in the late 1860s nd 1870s..

---------------------
The Chickasaw Nation issued permits to White citizens so they could work and
live in the Chickasaw Nation.  We know that the Greens and Abraham and Telitha
moved in Chickasaw Nation after 1868.  I have found permits for "T. Green" and
his license is issued under Francis (Colbert) Cochran, now we also know how
Daniel Green and Francis Colbert met.  There's also a permit for a William
Jackson.  He ended by married to a Chickasaw woman named Annie Donovan. 
Here's a link to the enrollment card he shows up on:
http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?ti=0&indiv=try&db=ftworthenrollmentcards&h=66885

His father is shown as James M Jackson.  And guess what?  Three days later two
permits are issued for J. M. Jackson & family and A. S. Jackson and family. 
A. S. Jackson matches the last tax record Abraham shows up on in Cooke County. 
I think this is a pretty good start to more clues.

By 1900 several of the Green and Jackson children had moved to Indian
Territory.  Abraham Jackson does not show up in the 1900 census, but his wife
Talitha (Telitha/Delitha) Green is in Township 8, which seems to be in the
south, what became Love County, Oklahoma. Her brother Jacob Green and her son
Sam are in Nash Township of Muskogee County (Creek or Muscogee Nation), in the
west central area of Oklahoma.  There is some indication that Abe was in the
western areas in 1870, but we cannot find a family listing for Telitha.

In the 1870s, Muskogee was part of Creek Nation, with Cherokee Nation to the
north and east.  A Jacob Green, who may be Talitha's brother Jacob, and what
appear to be other members of the same Green family, were in some scrapes with
the law in Fort Smith, Arkansas.  Ft Smith was on the Arkansas River, on the
border of Arkansas with Indian Territory, and authorities there managed the
justice for Oklahoma and Indian Territory.  I have not found details of their
residence during the 1860s to 1890s.  Jacob is enumerated in the Cherokee
Nation census of 1900.

There are two main lines of Greens in Oklahoma, with a minor third one that
might be related at a great historical distance.  Our family came from Gilmer
County, Georgia, with some of them in Whitfield and neighbouring counties at
some times.  They came earlier from South Carolina, and either from
Pennsylvania or Maryland, as I discuss in various Notes.  They came into
Indian Territory from Texas, as did our Jenkins line.  These Greens are mostly
dark haired and dark-eyed.  Several of this line married Indians.

Another line came into Oklahoma from Missouri and have antecedents in Illinois
and Indiana, it appears, to where they could have also come from Pennsylvania
or Maryland or even some of the North-South Carolina Greens appear to have
gone through the northwest route of the Mid-West.  These from Missouri into
Oklahoma, however, are mostly blond and blue or green-eyed.  Some of these
also married Indians.

Another line that also shows up in central Oklahoma, Pottawatomie and Garvin
Counties, came into Indian Territory and Oklahoma around the turn of the
century.  They could be a branch of our Gilmer County Greens, a group of whom
also went from Georgia to Arkansas.  I have not clearly connected them.  They
show up in my genealogy also in central Arkansas over to central Oklahoma and
connect to some other families we are also related to by marriage.  See
entries in this genealogy for Isaac Tipton Green and descendants.

There are additionally some Indians named Green who do not seem to be at all
related to these white settler lines named Green.  I have talked to one
descendant of a Jim Green, whom I have not clearly identified, who is mixed
Cherokee and African-American.  This Gerald Green lives in the Dallas, Texas,
area.
Return to Toliver GREEN










































Notes for Toliver Jorile GREEN


Family sources report that Toliver Jorile Green was born on 22 November 1873. 
This is the date on his grave.  However, his WWI Draft registration reports
his birth as 22 November 1872.

Toliver Jorile was born in Hill County, Texas.  The 1930 census agrees with
this information from family records.  However, in other censuses Joe reported
(or the enumerator recorded) that he was born in Oklahoma.

Joe's cousin, James Toliver Jackson, was born In Hill County, Texas, also
about 1.5 years earlier.  T J's parents, Jackson and Clarinda (Barnett) Green,
married in Hill County, where both their families were living.

The Barnetts had moved there from Illinois after 1860.  The Greens had come
from Georgia to Cooke County, Texas before 1860, and moved to Hill County
later.  James Toliver Jackson's parents, Abraham and Talitha Jackson (Jackson
Green's sister), appear to have moved there from eastern Indian Territory,
probably Cherokee Nation, to Hill County in about 1871.

Toliver Jorile moved with his family to the Marlow, Oklahoma, area in 1908. 
He is listed as Joe Green in the 1910 Richland, Stephens County, Oklahoma
census.  In 1920 and 1930, he is listed as Joe T.  This reverses the order of
his names Toliver Jorile.  He also signed Retta's school report card as J T
Green.  His draft card records his name as Toliver Jorile Green, as family
records have it.

These census entries indicate how he preferred to refer to himself, using the
more common Joe as the primary name, rather than Jorile or Toliver.  I have
known of other people reversing the order of first and middle for public or
business purposes.  My son Christopher Kevin Jenkins goes by Kevin, and is
known in his company as Kevin C Jenkins.

T J's use of the name Joe is confirmed in the obituary report of his youngest
son Paul Donald (Donnie) Green (d 10 March 2008).  Donnie's parents are
reported as Toliver Jorile "Joe" and Margaret Crenshaw Green.

He married Luada (or Lou Ada) Caledonia West in 1894.  I don't have a record
for them in the 1900 census.  In the 1910 Stephens County, Oklahoma, Toliver
Jorile is a widower living next door to Dock Gregory.  Toliver Jorile's
daughter Alpharetta Mae (Rettie) later married Dock Gregory's son Andy.

Since Joe (Toliver Jorile) is a widower In the 1910 census, he married his
second wife Mollie Stroud Williams Lane (twice widowed) sometime after this
census.  Joe's WWI Draft Registration provides his full name and other details
in 1918.  The fact that he gives his daughter as nearest of kin would seem to
indicate that he had not yet married Mollie Stroud.  On these registration
cards, normally the wife is reported as next of kin.

Note the change in birthplace for the children's mother, from Oklahoma to
Alabama.  This means they put the birthplace of the Stepmother Mollie, instead
of the birth mother, Lou Ada Caldonia West.  Joe's mother is also reported as
born in Alabama, as reported also in 1910.  However, on his brother James
Taylor Green's report, his mother's birthplace is shown as Illinois.  In 1930
Illinois is also reported as the birthplace for Toliver Jorile's mother.

We learned from Barnett family census enumerations, however, that their mother
Clarinda Barnett was actually born in Tennessee before her father moved the
family to Illinois after the death of Clarinda's mother.  (See notes for
Clarinda Barnett and Jorile R Barnett.)

In 1930, Toliver Jorile is listed again as Joe T, with his third wife Maggie
D.  This would be Margaret Drucilla Crenshaw Welch, whose first husband has
died.  In the household with Joe and Maggie are Joe's son Homer (listed here
as Homer B), Joe and Maggie's son Paul D (Donnie), and Maggie's four children
Annie, Thomas J, and twins Berley J and Pearl I Welch.

Notes for Tory Elizabeth GREEN


Tory's grave appears in the Lakeview Cemetery with other members of her family. 
All their stones have the same format, and helpfully report the children as
children of Daniel and Francis Green.  The name on the gravestone is Tory E
Thornton, indicating she had married before she died at the age of 16.

"I did learn an interesting fact about the Greens in the Lakeview Cemetery in
Marietta.  The Greens were moved there from a family cemetery located south of
Marietta at some point.  The Love County historian was invited to our
Chickasaw family reunion & we were discussing families in Love County.  The
Greens came up & she told me about an article in the Marietta Monitor that
told about the cemetery."
--  Kati Jackson Cain, email to cousins Orville Boyd Jenkins and Marion Mixon,
7 July 2017

I have found no documentation of Tory's husband.  Her middle name is reported
by another Green family researcher, Cindy Pannell, as Elizabeth.  I expect
Tory is short for Victoria.

Death 30 AUG 1886 in Love County, Oklahoma

His name in family sources is generally spelled Tyree, in the standard form. 
In his probate papers and on his grave it is spelled Tyre.

The name Tyree does not appear in the 1850 census list for this family.  The
first two children, also, are both aged 17, appearing to be twins, but the
first initials don't match any name in the list above.  The second name is
probably meant to be J M, which matches James M in the list of children found
above and in other sources.

In the 1960 census, Tyree was reported as T M Green, age 31.  He is enumerated
with his wife Elizabeth, who is reported as age 35.

The last child, appearing to be reported as W S, shoudl be M S.  He matches
Melvin S Green in other records.  Melvin was one of the two sons, along with
his brother Robet C, appointed an executors of their father's estate in 1900.

In 1860, Tyree is living two doors down from his younger brother Thomas
Benton, with his wife and new son George A, age 6 months.  Their parents Isaac
and Matilda are living on the other side of Thomas.

In the 1870 census, the enmumerator apparently misunderstood Melvin's name and
reported him as a daughter named Melvina.

In the 1870 census, the family next door to Tyree is a widow named Sarah
Green, 47 years old, with 3 sons and 2 daughters.  In 1880 there is one house
between these households.  Sarah has not been identified, but her proximity
would make it likely that she is the widow of a brother or cousin of Tiree
(Tyree).  The name of the youngest son, Isaac, strengthens this likelihood,
since it the name of Tyree's father.

In the 1880 census, their daughter Elizabeth (Lizzie) is reported as 15, when
she should be 25.  The enumerator did put her in the corect child birth order,
before 21-yers-old Melvin.

There is another household headed by a widow 4 houses away, at the end of this
census page.  This is Manisa Green, 82 years old, with what appear to be
grandchildren in her household.  The oldest is age 21, named Shadrack L Green. 
This appears to be a family of a prominent line of Greens with several
generations of Shadracks.  They have in some ways appeared to be related to
Tyree's lineage, descended from Meshack W Green, but no connection has yet
been definitely confirmed.  This proximity is a strong support that they share
some familial relation.

Manisa, at age 82, was born about one year before Meshack W Green died in
South Carolina.

The last child was the first entry of the next page.  He is the only one
reported with parents born in NC.  This appears to be an enumerator error,
since the next household are so reported for all the children and parents.

It appears the enumerator entered the next family before he put the birth
state information on the record for George, then just treated it as an entry
for the household following, which other than George was the first household
on the page.

Valton's Social security record gives us some details about his birth and
death.

However, shortly thereafter, I found another Valton Green whose birthday was
only about a month different from the one in Texas.  His birth in June matches
more closely with the census birth date estimate.  Further, his SSN was issued
in Oklahoma, which makes it more likely he is the one.  The Social Security
Death Index does not record the place of death of the Oklahoma Valton Green.

even found one in Lancashire, England.  I found the record of one Valton Green

Texas.

Notes for Walter Jack GREEN


Jack was likely Jackson, named after a great uncle.  Many men called Jackson
were actually named Andrew Jackson, after the famous Tennessee General and
President of the United States.  Green family researcher Bev Bell reports his
name as Walter Jack, born in Nov 1924, even though he had a brother named
Walter Jacob Jr, born about a year later.

Both sons are reported in the 1930 as Jack and Junior Green, and in 1940 as
Jack and Jacob.  They are with their widowed mother and sister in the
residence of their uncle, Walter Jacob Green's brother Pink Green.  Walter
Jacob later went by Jake and Walter Jack went by Walter J (ref the 1957 city
directory).

The Social Security record matching Jack or Walter Jack Green, his birth date
has simply Walter Green.

A Texas birth certificate was discovered in September 2016 that is eerily
similar to the child of Walter Jacob Green and Laurie Margaret Lee, named
Walter Jack Green.  The reported date of birth for Walter Jack in Social
security records and his grave is 26 February 1924.   The birth date on the
birth certificate was 29 November 1924.

This child was born in Gainesvill, Texas, a town associated with this Green
family, since the original Green, Toliever Green,  moved his family there was
Georgia a little before the 1960 census when they were reported there.  Walter
Jacob Green and Walter Jack Green were cons of Toliver's grandson Walter Jacob
Green, son of Toliver's son Jacob GReen, known also in family memory as Jake.

The newborn son was not named, reported as "Full name of child Unknown."  (The
form states that if the name is not known at thtat time a supplemental report
is to be made.  No such report has yet been found to match.)

The child's father is reproted as J Walter Green and the mother as Willie
Owens.

A researcher reports that the last child was named Walter Jacob.  Here he is
named Junior, so we may conclude that his father Walter's full name was also
Walter Jacob.

The 1930 census reports Walter's widow and children living in the household of
Walter's brother Pink.  The Find-a-Grave memorial for Walter's brother Pink
(below) reports that Walter died in Oklahoma about 1925.  From the age of
Junior in 1930 as 4 years and 4 months, Walter must have died before the birth
of Junior.  If the age of Junior is as exact as it looks, we can say he was
born in November or December 1925.  This enables us to place Walter's death
between March and December 1925.

This also means that Maggie did not move to California with her children till
at least 1926, after the birth of Jacob Jr.  Pink's obituary reported that he
had lived in Fresno since 1925.  so either he went earlier and Maggie and her
children moved later to join Pink and Lois, or they all moved together in
1926, and the obit date was a rounded number.  The latter seems most likely.

In the 1940 census, Jack and his siblings are reported as children of Pink. 
It appears to be an enumerator error.

Jake was in the Navy for a while, though I have not found his enlistment
records.  Bev Bell found his discharge certificate.  Note that the initials
USNR seem to indicate he was in the Reserves during WWII.

This is to certify that Jacob Green, a Seaman First Class USNR is honorably

--  Fresno Bee Republican newspaper, Fresno, Fresno, California, 17 Mar 1948

There is another naval record for a Walter J Green Jr, that appeared to be
this same person.  But my cousin and coresearcher Marion Mixon, with his
military background, noted that the service number was different, indicating
this was a different person.  Some genealogies may have the following record
attached to our Walter Jacob Green Jr, but it appears to be a different
person, who just entered service in 1948.

His name here indicates he is named the same as his father, who is a Junior as
reported in the 1930 census, where he is enumerated simply as Junior Green. 
In this 1957 city directory, Jake is reported working for Dallas Wilson as a
heavy equipment operator running a trencher.  His death certificate indicates
he worked for 35 years in Pipelne Construction.  His wife is Doris Deane
Mahaffey.

Jake has a joint gravestone, but there is no death date on Doris' side.  It
seems odd they would have included Doris' name on the gravestone since they
had been divorced 12 years before his death.  I have not found where she was
finally buried.  I found she did marry again, to John Lowe Ripley 28 April
1989 in Carson City, Nevada.

Walter Jacob "Jake" Green
Birth  Nov. 4, 1925, Fort Gibson, Muskogee County, Oklahoma, USA
Death  Nov. 17, 1984 Fresno County, California, USA

Jake Green was the son of Walter Jacob Green (1889-1925) and Maggie Lee Green
(1897-1952).

He was one of three children: Eva Lee, Jack, and Jake. They were just babes
when their father died in OK, and their mother moved to central Calif. before
1930, where she was in HH of her brother-in-law, Pink Green, in 1930 Fresno
census--and Jake was listed as "Junior."

Family Tree says his mother, Maggie, married Earl Burch, in MO., and there is
a MO Marriage record to that effect. On Jake's funeral card, it says
"Officiating: Rev. Paul Burch, brother of Mr. Green" and Dr. Orville Winters. 
Several Green family were pallbearers.  His two siblings, Eva Lee and Jack are
buried here.  His double tombstone is with Doris Green. [Doris' side has no

Note that his name is entered on the certificate as Jacob NMN Green.  The
initials NMN mean "No Middle Name."  This is curious, since Jacob IS his
middle name.  Other records and family information indicate his name was
Walter Jacob Green.  He was always referred to as Jacob or Jake.  Did his
surviving family members not know his full name was Walter Jacob?  The
certificate indicates the informant was his wife Doris Mahaffey, which also
seems curious, since we have the record of their divorce.

I see Jake's occupation is reported as Heavy Equipment Operater, and he has
worked for a Pipline Construction Company for 35 years.  We know, however,
that during that period he was a professional boxer and he was in the Navy, at
least once on an assignment at sea, shipping out to the Philippine Sea in
December 1948.

By 1920,Walter had married a widow, Maggie Lee Burch, who was enumerated with
Walter along with her two Burch children.  Walter has moved from Commerce to
Cardin, still in Ottawa County, in the very northeast corner of the state. 
Cardin is now on of three towns that diminished until they became ghost towns
in the 2000s.

"Cardin is a ghost town in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, United States. The
population was 150 at the 2000 census, but plummeted to 3 at the 2010 census
in April 2010. The town is located within the Tar Creek Superfund site; the
vast majority of its residents accepted federal buyout offers, and the town's
population dropped to zero in November 2010."

This census was available when I was originally searching for info on Walter,
but this appeared to be a different Walter Green, since the birth sates did
not match the information we had about his family.

Now with information about his wife discovered only in March 2012, it is clear
this is the correct Walter Green.  He just got the birth states of his parents
wrong.  Walter's Father Jacob was born in Georgia and his mother Susan Barnett
was born in Illinois.

A Find-a-Grave memorial on Walter's brother Pink reports that Walter died in
1925 in Oklahoma, after which his wife and children moved to Fresno County,
California, with his two brothers, and maybe their mother Susan.

"Another brother, Walter Jacob, had died in 1925 (OK) and the widow with three
small children were staying in [the household] with Pink in the 1930 census,
Fresno CA, Township 5. The three children--Eva L., Jack, and Walter Jacob
(Jake), are bur. in this cemetery as is Pink's brother, Thomas (Tom) Gilbert
GREEN."
--  Find A Grave Memorial #73346170,
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=73346170

The compiler of this memorial tells us that the name of Walter's last son was
Walter Jacob.  This last child is named in the census as Junior, so we may
conclude that his father Walter's full name was also Walter Jacob.

We find Walter Jr in 1930 with his brother and sister and widowed mother, in
Fresno, California.  The census reports Walter's widow and children living in
the household of Walter's brother Pink.  They moved to California some time
after Walter's death and the birth of Junior, and the memorial compiler says
it was 1930.

From the age of Junior in 1930 as 4 years and 4 months, Walter must have died
before the birth of Junior.  If the age of Junior is as exact as it looks, we
can say he was born in November or December 1925.  This enables us to place
Walter's death between March and December 1925 and the move to California
between December 1925 (birth of Junior) and March 1930 (month before census).

Pink's obituary says he had lived in Fresno since 1925. This must be a very
round number, since the 1930 and 1940 censuses report that Jacob was born in
Oklahoma, and 1930 seems to indicate it was December 1925.  So Maggie and the
children actually came to California in 1926.  We do not know if Pink and Lois
moved west earlier or they all traveled together.

William served in the Cherokee Guards of Alabama, in the forces of the
Confederate States of America.  I found his name in the roll of the Guards,
but found no other details of his service or deployment in the records.  He is
on the list with his uncle, Monterville M Israel and Monterville's neighbor
Geroge Taylor.

The Eastern Cherokee as well as a compnent o the Western Cherokees were allied
with the Confederacy because of their longtime grievances with the US
government. They blamed the US blamed the federal government and former US
President Andrew Jackson for the Trail of Tears.

----------------
Cherokee in the American Civil War

The Cherokee in the American Civil War were active in the Trans-Mississippi
and Western Theaters.  In the east, Confederate Cherokees led by William
Holland Thomas hindered Union forces trying to use the Appalachian mountain
passes of western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee.

Out west, Confederate Cherokee Stand Watie led primarily Native Confederate
forces in the Indian Territory, in what is now the state of Oklahoma.  The
Cherokee partnered with the Confederacy in order to get funds, as well as
ultimately full recognition as a sovereign, independent state.

Before Indian Removal, the Cherokee Nation was centered in and around the Blue
Ridge Mountains-southwestern North Carolina, southeastern Tennessee, western
South Carolina and northeastern Georgia.  The Cherokee attempted to address
their grievances by taking their problems to the American Federal judicial
system.

In 1830, a delegation led by Chief John Ross defended Cherokee rights before
the U.S. Supreme Court in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia.  The Indian cases set a
precedent in Indian Country but was in vain as the Cherokee Nation was set
upon the Trail of Tears. After the removals, the Cherokee Nation was found
west of the Mississippi River, and some Cherokee were still found in the Blue
Ridge Mountains.

The Cherokee blamed the federal government and former United States President
Andrew Jackson for the Trail of Tears.  They also had adopted "Southern ways"
before their removal from their Appalachia home.  A few of them had owned
slaves.

Therefore, the western Cherokee already disliked the north when in 1860
William Seward, campaigning on behalf of Abraham Lincoln, said that Lincoln
would open the Indian Territory for white settlement.
