Notes

Arilla is reported to be the daughter of the Mayor of Weatherford.
-- Green Family Information, received from Houston Green, handwritten family notes

Betty Jackson Hess refers to Jim Green's wife as Rillie Bridgeman (InLetter 8 extra notes): "I remember Jim Green's wife's name. She wasRillie Bridgeman." The Green Family information from Houston Green spells the family name Bridgman. I found her as well as Jim's second wife in Cemetery Records for Parker County.

Eliza appears with her parents A J and Rebecca (Kidwell) in Weatherford in the 1880 census. She is listed there as Eliza B, and is a twin with Margaret I. They are listed as 3 years old, which matches her known birth date of 6 December 1876. Here the family name is spelled Bridgeman, though in the family sources we have seen, it is spelled Bridgman. Next door to the Bridgman household are a Kidwell family RobertA and wife Lucy. At age 35, Robert could be Rebecca Kidwell Bridgman's younger brother.
