Notes

• Daniel David Green went by Dave.  His uncle Daniel David went by Daniel or Dan.  All Daniel David's nieces call him Uncle Dave.
  
  I found an entry in the 1900 census that appears to be our Daniel David Green.  He is a single young man of 16, living with and working for a related Thompson family in Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory.  Head of household John W Thompson is white, with two white parents, but his wife and children are reported as Choctaw.  This Minnie Lee Thompson is Dave's Father's first cousin, the daughter of Daniel David Green (b 1844) and Frances Colbert.
  
  The elder Daniel David is the brother of Jackson Green, father of the younger Daniel David (b 1882).  Minnie Thompson is Daniel D's first cousin.  Thus Daniel David (Dave) is working for his cousin's husband, or living with the family and working with them on the farm, though he is listed as a "Servant," instead of a cousin.

  Thompson, Jessie M  Dau In (Choctaw) F  June 1899  11mos Indian Territory  Mosouri  Indian Territory
  Green, Daniel D  Servant  W M  May 1883  16 Single  Indian Territory (No birth place given for parents) Farm Laborer
  
  Daniel's birth date is a year later than that recorded in the Marlow Cemetery registry online, 23 May 1882.  Another anomaly is that his age had originally been entered as 17, which would be right for a May 1883 birth date, at this June census.  But it was crossed out and changed to 16.  A birth date in May 1882 would mean an age of 18.  So the birth date and age are not definitive.  Lack of birth place for parents also leaves out another good cross-check on identity.
  
  Dave married Frances (Fannie) Briscoe.  In the 1910 census, Dave and Fannie have just gotten married, recorded as married "0 years."  In this census Dave is listed as Dave D.  Other members of the family have switched the order of names also to put the preferred name first, even if it was the second name.  Note that Fannie is reproted as White although she was a registered Chicksaw.

  Green, Dave D  Head M W 27 Married 0 yrs OK TN TN Farmer
  Green, Fannie E  Wife F W 21 Married 0 yrs TX GA AL
  
  Fannie is recorded here as Fannie E, which matches her name on her gravestone. In 1900 she had been recorded as Fannie D.
  
  Both Dave's parents are reported here as born in Tennessee.  This is odd, since we have birth information for them.  Jackson was born in Georgia before the family moved to Texas.  Census information in 1920 and 1930 both report Clarinda's birthplace as Illinois.
  
  Parental birth places differ also for Fannie, whose father is said to have been born in Georgia.  But the 1900 census said he was born in Texas.  Her mother is still reported born in Alabama.

  I have not found Dave and Fannie in the 1920 census.   The next three censuses report them resident in Marlow town.  When their son Fait was in school they lived a few miles from the town of Marlow.  Dave's niece Loretta Gregory Gay reports that Fait told her that when he was in school, he used to ride a horse from the St York Indian Baptist Church east of town to school in Marlow.  Loretta says she and her family used to go with Dave and Fannie to gospel singings at that church.
