GREEN
His son, John Green (1813-1869), was born
in Georgia but came to Tennessee with his family when he was a child. He
married Winnie Dial and by 1850 had the following children: Patrick, Robert,
John, Susannah, Anna, Martha, and William. After Winnie's death, he married
Lucetta (Lucy) Goad (1728-?).The
children of the second marriage in 1853 were Winfield Scott, Henry R.,
Winnie, Alexander, Luther, Margaret, and Mary E.
Winfield Scott Green(1854-1920) moved to
Weakley County before 1880 when he married Dosha
Isabelle Taylor. They had four children: Lou, Oscar, Walter and Allen.
Dosha died before 1889 and he married Frances Bryant
Moore,
a widow with three daughters of her own. The Moore family had been neighbors,
living on the adjoining farm. The children of the second marriage were
Daisy, Homer Brieford, Clarence Noble, and Horace Williard. Scott and "Mammy"
Green lived on a farm near Sharon for 30 years. On April 28, 1920 the local
newspaper carried this notice:
"After a long illness, Mr. Scott Green died Wednesday afternoon at his home in Sharon. He was one of the best known men of that community and was held in the highest esteem. "
He was remembered with great
affection by his grandson, Marvin Green of Sharon, TN (the son of Oscar
Green), the only person we met who could tell us incidents of Scott's life.
[Jane Smith of Memphis, TN is the granddaughter of Lou Green. No
descendents of Walter (of Blytheville, AR) are known although he had a
son, Allen Franklin Green. Allen, Walter's brother, of St. Louis,
MO did not marry and died at an early age. Of the second family:
Jackie Greene of Paducah, KY is the widow of Noble Green, Jr., grandson
of Scott and"Mammy"; Ann Green Dooley of Biscoe, AR is the daughter
of Horace Williard (Bill) Green, their son. No descendents of their daughter,
Daisy Green Vinson of (perhaps) Dallas,Texas have been identified.]
The eldest son of the second
marriage, Homer Brieford Green (1893-1947), was a 25 year old railway
worker when he married Tommie Leona Nash
who
was ten years younger.They left Tennessee to make their home in
Mobile, Alabama. Their children were Mary Frances Green Harrison (1921-2007) and Thomas
Nash Green (1925-2002). Devoted to his wife who died in 1946,
Brieford survived her by only four months, dying of what his family believe
was a truly "broken heart".
Frances married J. Max Harrison (1914-1966) and they also made their home in Mobile. Their children were James, Thomas, Patty (who died in 2004), Rosemary, Diane, Paul and Debbie.
Tom married Lillian Virginia Pearson (see chart and profile). Their son is Thomas Nash Green, Jr. (1948-) who wife was Connie Lynn Robertson (1947-1982). His son died as an infant in 1978. Their daughter is Martha Ann Green (1949-).
