• Andrew's name is reported in the Green family information as Jacob Andrew.  His gravestone presents his name as Andrew J.  In official documents he is known only as Andrew Green.
  
  The 1900 census for Weatherford, Parker County, Texas, tells us that Andrew was born there before his parents moved to Cooke County, where they were recorded with three children in 1910.  Andrew's parents weremarried in Weatherford in 1896.

  Andrew appears to have been enumerated twice in this census, showing up again in Eastland County on 25 February.  He is in the household ofhis cousin, Elbert E Martin, son of Nancy E Jackson Yeary Martin.  His job in Eastland is listed as Tank Setter in the Steel industry.  Wecan tell his and Elbert's work is related to the oil industry (matching Andrew's listing in Weatherford a month earlier), because of the high number of oil field workers in the town, and on the same page.  Oneboarding house a few doors down has a large number of single men working for an Oil Well Supply Company.

  Several of us have been trying for many months (as of August 2009) todetermine the exact relationship of Andrew and his father James Daniel Green to the Jackson and the other Greens kin to the Jacksons.  This indication that Andrew is a cousin to Elbert seems to confirm a report from Betty Jackson Hess that this family of Greens were kin to hergrandmother, Talitha Green Jackson, wife of Abraham Jackson.  Betty thought James Daniel was a son of one of Talitha's brothers, but did not know which.  But neither the Jacksons nor the Greens of Talitha's family have information about a nephew of hers that would match James Daniel.
  
  In 1930 Andrew has married Essie L Johnson and they are living a few houses down from Jim and Lizzie Jackson, who are enumerated in Household #137.
