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 (In Letter 8 extra notes):  "I remember Jim Green's wife's name.  She was Rillie 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 Robert A and wife Lucy.  At age 35, Robert could be Rebecca Kidwell Bridgman's younger brother.

    1880 Federal Census, Parker County, Texas, 18 June, District 135, page 41 (scan p 375A), Hse #278, Fam #384

    This census tells us that Arilla had a twin, Margaret I. The Green-Bridgman family information had no information on siblings of Arilla.

    Arilla's grave in the Greenwood Cemetery in Weatherford has the following information:
    "Green, Arilla  Dec 6, 1876   Jun 27, 1914   wife of J D Green"
