Life History

Notes

• The reported children of John Green (b about 1799) occurred before his marriage to Ann Linebaugh in 1841.  Some report and earlier marriage to an Ann Tipton, which could account for the middle name of John's son Isaac Tipton Green, born in about 1825 (or 1829 according to his reported age on his Confederate military records).  Buit some report the same marriage date in 1841 for Ann Tipton as for Ann LInebaugh.
  
  There had to be an earlier marriage about 1820 or 1821, for the marriage that produced the known children born in the 1820s.  This firs wife was probably Mary Tipton as reported by one or two genealogies, but unfortunately with no records for documentatoin.
  
  One proposed marriage is the marriage of one John Green to an Amy Goodin in Tennessee on 9 August 1809.  This also matches the reported birth of first son Elisha in Tennessee in about 1821.  Records from this era are spotty, and genealogies have many errors and lots of data fields empty.  Some have Amy Goodin's name associated with the marriage record for John and Ann Linebaugh in 1841.

  Marriage 9 Aug 1809 Greene County, Tennessee
  
  A problem with this proposal for our John Green, is that in the marriage year 1809, John would have been about 10 years old!

  Ann Linebaugh
  John Green
  Marriage 25 February 1841 Platte County, Missouri
  Ceremony performed by Charles Wells, J P
  Recorded 28 Feb 1841 Platte County Marriage Book, p 26
  
  Two transcriptions of this record in two different collections on Ancestry have incorrect dates, one recording the marriage date as 10 January 1841 and the other as 28 February 1841.
  
  With the marriage in 1841 to Ann Linebaugh, John was surely married earlier to a first wife.  Two or three genealogies report that John Green married Amy Goodin, and one proposes her maiden name was Tipton (making her the mother of Isaac Tipton Green, instead of Ann Linebaugh).  This would mean that both were about 21 or 22 when they married in about 1920 or 1921.   Their first son, Elisha was born about 1822.

  -------------------------
  I found a burial record for one John Green, Son of Patrick and Margaret Green, who died and was buried in St Louis.  But the burial date for that John Green was 6 April 1851, so must be from a different family.  No genealogy I have seen has the parents of John Green, father of Isaac Tipton Green.
