Parents

Son of Toliver GREEN & Winney Ann BEARDEN.

Life History

Notes

• Sources available to Linda Hanks indicate that Daniel was also calledDavid or Dave.  It is likely his full name was Daniel David.  The 1850 census in Gilmer County, Georgia has an entry that can be read bothways.  It appears that the name was originally written as David, thenan n was written over the v, and the loop of the d, which was a little open, was left as it was, looking somewhat like el.  Ancestry.com transcribes his name in 1850 as David.  I first read it as Daniel, but see that it could be David.  One of his brothers, Jackson Green, nameda son Daniel David also.
  
  Green family tradition in Oklahoma reports that Dan (Daniel) married an Indian woman.  But no one had any further details on place or tribe.  In October 2007 I found a genealogy with information on what appeared to be our Daniel David Green, married to Frances Colbert.  They lived in Love County, Oklahoma, where other members of the Green-Jacksonfamilies lived, and Daniel Green is listed in the burial information for Lakeview Cemetery, Love County, Oklahoma.  The genealogy gives no commentary of information about Frances' family ethnicity.  Her parents are not listed.  I later found some further information from what appeared to be a later version of the Sherman genealogy, though anonymous.

  Daniel married Frances on 8 October 1871, according to the Sherman genealogy.  He died in 1878, so we will not have any census documentation of their marriage or family.  Frances went by Fannie.  I have not yet found any marriage record.
  
  In the 7 years of their marriage, they had three children that are recorded by Sherman.  There was one girl named Minnie Lee Green, and twoboys.  Another genealogy of the family records only Minnie Lee.  I later found a 1900 census record for Fannie as a widow with two of her children, reporting them all as Choctaw Indians, living in Chickasaw Nation.
  
  The names of the boys are unusual, and the two sons have names that are forms of the same name:  Reddick "Redie" Green and Daniel Redric Green.  The second son's middle name Redric looks like a variation of the first name of the first son's name Reddick.  In May 2008 I found a 1900 census record for Reddick J Green, of an age matching the oldest son.  This census reported Reddick, his wife Etta and their two children as White.
  
  Daniel was Fannie's second husband.  Her first husband, Samuel HunterCochran, who died at an unknown time before Fannie's marriage to Dan in 1871.  She also had a third husband, Charles Adams, who died sometime before 1888, when she married her fourth husband, Theophilus H East.  The Colbert family genealogy I found with all this great information reported that Theophilus and Fannie died the same year, 1910.  But this can't be right, since I found the 1900 census record for 1900 showing her as a widow named Francis East.  so perhaps Theophilus died in1900 (before the census) instead of 1910.
