-- 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.

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:
