Life History

Notes

• Thomas Green is enumerated along with neighboring households of his father, his brother Isaac in the 1830 census for Hall County, Georgia.  He is there again in 1840 along with Isaac and Daniel and his sister Elizabeth (under the name of her husband J H Moss).  Unfortunately, the US census before 1850 gave the name only of the head of household.
  
  But Thomas appears next door to his father Daniel Green, and on the other side of Daniel is Thomas' brother Isaac.  This indicated their family relationship, and the ages of the members of the households matched birth dates from other sources for these three.

  "I have my great grandmother's supplemental application.  Her name was Fannie Bryant Bruce.  Her father was Hardy Bryant.  Hardy's mom was Fannie Green, daughter of Daniel Green & Mary Green.  There was the name Mashack in the old Green Bible, said William Bryant, brother of Hardy Bryant.  They were rejected on their Cherokee blood, but I know they were Cherokee.  Fannie Green was born in 1808, had a brother Isaac 1801, John 1804, Thomas 1806, Fannie 1808, Daniel 1810, Elizabeth 1812, Andrew Jackson 1815, Toliver 1817, Enoch 1820, Isona 1823."

  The anonymous Green pedigree I found in World Family Tree in early years reported the place of death for Thomas Perry Green as Grant County, Arkansas.
  
  The genealogy research of Richard Bates was very helpful to fill out details for this lineage and Thomas Perry's family in particular.  Bates, in research on the Bates and Jackson families, gives the place of death of Thomas as Saline County, Arkansas, but the burial in Grant County.  Bates gives the name of the Cemetery, Carter Cemetery in Grant County.  This detail adds credibility.
  
  In addition, he is researching from within the family, since Thomas Perry Green was married to Mary Eliza Jackson.  Because of the more detailed information I am following Bates.
  
  Bates' information led me to think that the family were resident in Grant County, though death occurred across the county line in Saline.  Grant County is just south of Saline County.  From this I suspected that Thomas was sick and died in a hospital or clinic in Benton, the county seat of Saline County, which is just a few miles north of the Saline County border.
  
  It was less common in those days for a person to die away from home in a hospital, so perhaps he was in Benton on some business, and died there of an accident or some natural cause, like a heart attack.  A source I found later states the place of residence as Saline County.  So perhaps they lived on the Saline County side, but chose the burial spot in Grant County for reason of proximity, or for some family reason unknown to us.
  
  I note that sources indicate his wife Mary Eliza Jackson also died in Grant County, Arkansas.  Sources cited by Glenda Pool in her unpublished Green family research gives the place of death for both as Sheridan, Grant, Arkansas.  Both were buried in the Carter Cemetery in Grant County.
  
  Richard Bates gives the following list of children of Thomas Perry Green and Mary Eliza Jackson:

  Martha Mattie GREEN b: 1837 in Hall Co., GA
  James A. GREEN b: 1838 in Hall Co., GA

  The list in the 1850 census matches the above list pretty well.
  
  1850 Federal Census, Hall County, Georgia, 1 August, District 38, page 334B, Hse/Fam #11
  Thomas Green 44 M Miller b SC
  Mary Green 38 F b SC
  A F Green 21 M Miller b Hall Co
  E B Green 19 F b Hall Co
  N E Green 16 M b Hall Co
  M M Green 13 F b Hall Co
  J A Green 12 M b Hall Co
  M B Green 10 M b Hall Co
  G P Green 7 M b Hall Co
  E I Green 5 M b Hall Co
  N P Green 1 M b Hall Co
  
  Next door is their oldest son John, in his own household as a newlywed.

  John M Green 22 M Clerke b Hall Co GA
  Elizabeth W Green 20 F b Jackson Co GA
  
  The list in the 1860 census matches except that the first four chidlren are out of the home.  This one reports Thomas and Mary were born in North Carolina instead of South Carolina, as reported in the 1850 census.  It also reports Nancy, the oldest child reproted in 1860, as born in North Carolina.  But she was born in Hall County, Georgia, where Thomas and Mary got married and raised their family.
  
  Some pen strokes in the 1860 census are faded throughout the page, making some names difficult to discern, and some letters made oddly.  Ancestry has the child after James transcribed as Union, but it matches the child names in family sources as Minor, and strokes are similar to the correct letters matching this in other entries.
