Life History

Notes

• 1900 Federal Census, Faulkner County, Arkansas, 15 June, Cypress Township, District 27, Page 7B, House #138, Family #142
  Green, John  Head W M Feb 1851 49  Married 22 years MO MO TN Farmer  Owns Farm
  Green, Margaret J  Wife W F Nov 1858 41  Married 22 years  9 children/8 living MO TN TN
  Green, Arthur E  W M Jan 1894  6 Single AR MO MO
  
  Some genealogies have this Arthur E(ugene) Green confused with an Arthur Eugene Green born in Dallas County, Arkansas.  I have found both families in their separate places in Arkansas, where Arthur E Green, son of John and Margaret, was born in 1894, in Faulkner County.  The Arthur Eugene who married Alma Young was in the places documented here, and the children shown here are those reported in censuses of 1920-30 for Arthur E and his wife Alma Minnie Young.
  
  It is possible that this Arthur's middle name was also Eugene, and he is reported that way in two genealogies.  I am somewhat uncertain however, since there has been confusion with the genealogies for Arthur Eugene of Dallas County, and these that correctly report Arthur E and Alma Minnie have insufficient details to appear definitive.  One of them does, however, provide death information for this Arthur E.
  
  I originally thought this Arthur Eugene was the Arthur, son of Jacob and Susan Green, found in Hugo, Oklahoma, in 1910.  I later, however, found the earlier censuses of the families and clearly confirmed that this was a different family.  The 1900-20 censuses contributed to the misidentification by reporting this Arthur E as born in Oklahoma.  However, censuses with the correct spouse and children reported his with a birth in Faulkner County, Arkansas.  I then also found this family in Cypress Township, Faulkner County, Arkansas, which I personally know from living in Conway, Arkansas, also in Faulkner County.
  
  Then I found the 1930 census for Arthur and Alma, with their second daughter Catherine.  They were in Gainesville, Texas, for both 1920 and 1930 censuses.  With only the 1920 census, I interpreted this as a confirmation of Jacob's son Arthur, since Jacob and his siblings were from Gainesville.
  
  However, in the Gainesville census in 1930, the birthplace of Arthur E was reported as Arkansas, which matched the rising evidence from the Arkansas family, though in 1920 Arthur's birthplace was reported as Oklahoma, which matched our Arthur Green.  The Arkansas origin was supported by the fact that the birthplace of the father of Arthur Eugene in both 1920 and 1930 was given as Missouri, which matches the genealogies with several generations coming from Virginia through Tennessee and Missouri to Arkansas before we find Arthur E's parents John and Margaret in Garvin County, Oklahoma in 1910.
