    I found one genealogy that had his name as Isaac Jackson Green, but there was no documentation reporting the source of the name.  I found this genealogy also attached an 1880 census for a different Jackson, J I Jackson in Tennessee, married to a C A Jackson.  The I initial may reflect the name Isaac.  This is not Jackson and Clarinda who continued to live in Indian Territory.

    The Tennessee couple had children reported as R J and W I.  There are no known children that match those initials in the family of Jackson and Clarinda.  It amazes me how people can attach any record from anywhere and think they are doing genealogy, without even checking to see if it matches or makes sense.

    Jackson was born after the 1850 census.  In that census, the last child listed is Jacob, who was born in November 1848, according to the 1900 census.  The census date in 1850 was 1 June 1850.  Ages reported should have been as of that date.  But experience shows that in many cases, maybe most of the time, ages were reported as of the day whenever the enumerator arrived at that particular home.

    In 1850, page dates were often September to November.  At any rate we are safe with Jack's case in saying he was born after 1 June 1850.  With the 1860 census date being 1 July, he could indeed be 10 as of census date.

    1850 Federal Census, Gilmer County, Georgia, [no date] page 397B (scan #100), Hse/Fam #691
    Toliver Green 33 M Farmer born SC
    Winney Green 28 F born GA
    Telitha Green 7 F born GA
    Daniel Green 6 M born GA
    Mary Green 4 F born GA
    Jacob Green 1 M born GA

    In the 1860 census, Jackson is reported as age 10.  We know often census ages are rounded up to the coming birthday that year.  But Jack may have been born soon after the 1850 census.  No date was reported on the census page for Jackson's family.  Official census date for 1860 was again 1 June.  But as noted, ages are often rounded off.  I have not found a census record for Jackson in 1900.

    1860 Federal Census, Cooke County, Texas, 21 July, Gainesville, page 58, Hse #481, Fam #496

    Winna [Winney] Green  38 F Georgia
    Jackson Green  10 M born Georgia

    Jack is found as Jackson or Jack in records.  Jackson was a very popular name.  Some records indicate he was also named Thomas.

    The name Tom Green also appears with Dan Green and Abraham Jackson, husband of their sister Talitha Green, and is otherwise unidentified in family information.  One document from that era clarifies who this Tom Green was.  A court record found in the Ft Smith/Van Buren records of the Western District of Arkansas identified charges against Dan Green and Jackson Green, aka Tom Green,  The warrant noted that charges were originally filed against them as Dan Green and Tom Green.

    Bond letter to appear for reset trial dated 6 April 1875

    Thus Tom Green was the same person as Jackson Green!  This would inform us that Dan and Talitha's brother Jackson was named either Thomas Jackson Green or Jackson Thomas Green.  Both these names are found in the family lineage.  There is a pattern in this line of using the middle name as the common name, so it seems likely Jackson was his middle name.  We are listing him in this genealogy as Thomas Jackson Green.

    Other records support this identity.

    "I have found permits for "T. Green" and his license is issued under Francis (Colbert) Cochran, now we also know how Daniel Green and Francis Colbert met. There's also a permit for a William Jackson. He ended up married to a Chickasaw woman named Annie Donovan."
    --  Kati Jackson Cain, email to cousins Orville Boyd Jenkins and Marion Mixon, 24 October 2015

    This permit was issued one year before their employer, Frances Colbert Cochran married Jack's brother Daniel David Green in Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation.  This area where her land was is just across the Red River form the area in Cooke County, Texas, where Toliver and related family members had land.

    Permits  No 9  Pickens County, Chickasaw Nation Jan 13th 1870
    "This is to certify that T Green is duly employed by Mrs Frances Chockrain [Cochran] for one year from date.   As farmer.  Given under my hand, this day and date above written.
    Wm P Worthington District Clerk"

    This T Green could be Dan and Jack's father Toliver, but could also be Jack, otherwise known in the document above as Tom.
