Notes
- The genealogy and family notes for James Daniel Green were provided to Green-Jackson researchers by Houston Green, a descendant of J D. The information he has states no place of birth for Daniel's children, but reports that James Daniel was a full-blooded Chickasaw Indian fromOklahoma City. However, the censuses recording J D and his family list them ail las White. I have noted that in states other than Oklahoma, there are few recordings of people as Indian, and "White" is usually a designation in contrast to only "Black" or "Negro."
In 1910 we find Jim in Cooke County, Texas, married to a wife born inTexas, and all his children are reported born in Texas in both the 1910 and 1920 census. The 1900 census tells us that Oscar's older brother Andrew was born in Weatherford. We don't know the year they moved from Weatherford to Cooke County, but since they are living in Cooke County, Texas in 1910, this would may indicate that Oscar and Jessie were born in Cooke County, Texas.

Oscar's family moved to Parker County, Texas, where he lived the restof his life. In 1930 we find he has married Mollie Isabel Morgan, and they are living in Weatherford town. Mollie is reported in family tradition to have been the daughter of the Mayor of Weatherford.

In this census, the wife's name was first written as Millie, then over-written to correct it to Mollie. Ancestry.com notes the dot over the erroneous I (now an O) and transcribes the name as Millie.
