Notes

  • The Green-Gregory family in Oklahoma knew this name as Mattie Loving.  Her father's family was enumerated in 1880 as Loving.

    On Benjamin Franklin's certificate of marriage to Lucinda Brewer, the name is spelled Lovings.  It appears usually as Lovin in other public documents and family records in several genealogies.

    We find the name of some of the Lovins in Texas spelled as Loving, such as the gravestone of Annie Louise Loving Green, b 1897 d 1982 in Hale County, Texas.  It appears that Mattie's actual name was Mattie, rather than Martha.  Her Social Security number was issued to Mattie A Green.  She first appears with her family in Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma. in the 1900 census.

    1900 Federal Census, Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma, 25 June, Burnett Township, District 194, page 15B, Hse/Fam #278

    She married James Taylor Green in Fort Gibson, Muskogee County, Cherokee Nation, Indian Territory, on 6 Feb 1902.

    In 1918, Taylor and Mattie were living in Duncan, when he registered for the US Military draft on 12 September 1918.  This registration gives us his exact birth date, 27 June 1878, but no place.  The form used in 1918 eliminated birth place, which was in the 1917 registration forms.  Before finding this Draft registration, I had only an approximate year from the census, 1879, and the state, Texas.  It is likely he was born in Hill County, Texas, but I have not yet found documentary evidence of this.

    U.S. World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918
    James Taylor Green, age 40, born 27 Jun 1878  [no place]
    residence Star Route 2, Duncan, Stephens County, Oklahoma
    Occupation Farmer, self-employed, wife Mattie Green
    Brown Eyes, Brown Hair
    Registration 12 September 1918, Duncan
    Stephens, Oklahoma
    signed James Taylor Green

    I later found confirmation that Taylor was born in Hill County, Texas.  On the death certificate of his daughter Mable, who died at age 2, his birth place is reported as Hill County, Texas.

    Texas Death Certificate, Registration #125099
    Mable Green
    Born 13 Feb 1926 Duncan (Stephens Co), Oklahoma
    Died 2 April 1928 Silverton, Briscoe County, Texas
    ** Father Taylor Green, born Hill Co, Texas **
    Mother Mattie Lovin, born Davis (Murray Co), Oklahoma
    Burial 3 April 1928 Silverton

    This means he was living on a farm in Duncan, but also selling real estate in Marlow.  In the 1910 and 1920 census, he is a real estate agent.  In 1920, however, the census shows him and the family living in Marlow town.  So they moved from Duncan into Marlow between September 1918 and January 1920.

    In 1920, Taylor Green is living in Marlow, Oklahoma, still working as a real estate agent.

    1920 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 28 January, Marlow Ward 2, District 257, page 13B, Hse #441, Fam #562

    The birthplace reported her for the children's parents does not match the birthplace of Taylor and Mattie.  The enumerator appears to have just copied Mattie's information for all the children.  Her birthplace is also shown as Arkansas instead of Tennessee which we see in the 1910 and 1930 censuses.

    By 1930, Taylor and Mattie have moved to Texas, farming in Parmer County.

    1930 Federal Census, Parmer County, Texas, 23 April, Justice Precinct 2, District 185, page 6A, Hse #100, Fam #107
    Green, Taylor J Head Owns M W 51 Married at 22 yrs old TX GA IL Farmer Not a veteran

    Mattie's mother's birthplace is now reported again as Tennessee, not Arkansas.  On the children's entries, the birthplace of both parents is correctly reported in this census.  Pearl is not their household,so must already be married.

    The Social Security Death Index reports Mattie Green's address at the time of death as Friona, Parmer, Texas.  This is on the New Mexico border.  Mattie and Taylor Green are reported in the 1930 census for Justice Precinct 2 of Parmer County, Texas.

    Note that the SSDI differs on the day in October 1969 from family sources, which record 31 October 1969.  The latter date is on her death certificate.  The place of death reported by Linda Dudley in her genealogy is Potter County, where Amarillo is located.  I learned in October 2010 from Hugh Green that Mattie was in a nursing home in Amarillo when she died.

    "Mattie Lovin Green. She did live in Friona, but had lived with daughter Frieda (Merrick) in Amarillo for a time after Taylor's death.  She was, however, a resident in a nursing home at the time of her death. She is buried with Taylor in Friona, Texas."
