Notes

  • Family information conveyed to me by Loretta Gregory Gay, indicated that Toliver Green married Amanda Tatum West near Marietta, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory.

    I later found their marriage license, however, which shows they were married in Cook County, Texas, a few miles south of Marietta across the Red River.  Most likely the ceremony took place in the county seat of Gainesville, where the certificate would have been issued.  Further, the certificate indicates they were both residents of Cook County.

    Their first daughter Ella ws born 16 months later in Chickasaw Nation.

    Greene, James Head  W M Jan 1861 39 Married 11 years TX GA GA Owns

    Greene, Stella W F May 1893 7 Ind Terr Texas GA
    Greene, Lizzie W F Jun 1898 1 Ind Terr Texas GA

    The first child in this enumeration, Loula, appears to be Amanda's daughter with her first husband Gus West.  Because of the similarity of the name, I at first thought it was Lou Ada Caldonia.  Notice that her father's birth state is "Unknown" instead of Texas, as the later children of James.  But the family has no information on another child of Amanda and her first husband Gus West.  We have information only for Lou Ada, born in 1877 (3 years old in the 1880 census) and George Taylor West, born in 1879.  The birth date given here for Loiula is 10 years younger than Lou Ada West.

    In the 1910 census for Richland Township, Stephens County, Oklahoma, we find related families living adjacent or close to each other.  Dock and Julia Gregory live next door to Joe Green.  Joe's daughter Alpharetta Mae (listed as Reta in this census) later married Dock's son Andy (Anda) Gregory.  James Toliver and family live just a few houses down, recorded on the same page of the census.

    Green, Stella  Dau F W 14 OK TX GA Farm Laborer
    Green, Lizza  Dau F W 11 OK TX GA Farm Laborer

    This census reports that this is a second marriage for both James Toliver and Amanda (Mandy).  I do not have information on JT's first wife.  This census reports that James and Mandy have been married 20 years.  The date the family has for the marriage is 1888, which would mean they have been married for 22 years, or depending on the month, 21 years at time of the 1910 census.  The death of Augustus West occurred at some unknown earlier date.

    James Toliver's daughter Lizzie Leona is listed in the 1910 Stephens County, Oklahoma, census as Lizza.  The enumerator has many misspelling, even of common names, on this page, which contains several family units of my Green or Gregory family.  For instance, a few families above on the same census page, Andy Gregory shows up as Anda Gregory.  Dock looks like Dolf.  Retta Green looks like Re-a.

    In 1920 they are living int he same location, in Richland Township, near Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma.  Note the discrepancy in age difference between Ella and Stella.  In 1910 Ella is 18 and Stella is 14, while in 1920 there is only 1 year difference in their ages.  Ella has aged only 7 years, while Stella has gained 10 years since the 1910 census.
