Introduction

The Greens are a numerous tribe and the name is not uncommon, so the research on the historyof our family has been both challenging and frustrating at times. Although I began this work morethan thirty years ago, I have been unable to link our family to any early Virginia ancestor. I amcertain, however, that our first Green ancestor arrived in Virginia from England in either the 17thCentury or the early 18th Century. There were several Greens who arrived on immigrant ships andsettled in Virginia during this period. As to why our ancestor was a Virginian, Barnet Green (ourfirst traceable ancestor) was born in Kentucky. In my research, I have found that every GreenKentuckian had Virginia roots. In C. Sylvester Green, Greens from Westmoreland County,Virginia with sketches of interrelate4d families . . . .(Greenville, North Carolina, 1975), the authorstates: "The State of Kentucky is the residence of many Greens, most of whom ae also of the lineof the Culpepper Greens," p. 13.

So let us take a look at these Culpepper County, Virginia, Greens. They could be ourancestors. Their generations contained large families and many males. Robert Green arrived inVirginia with his uncle, William Duff, in 1717 and settled first in King George County, Virginia.He was the son of William Green who had served in the King's Guard of William III, King ofEngland and Prince of Orange of The Netherlands. His mother was Eleanor Duff of Shakespeare'sMcDuffs. He was married to Eleanor Dunn. In about 1720, Robert moved farther west and wasgranted land in what was then Essex County, but later became Culpepper County. He built ahome on his plantation which he named "Liberty Hall." He and his wife had seven sons, all withred hair: William, Robert, Duff, John, Nicholas, James and Moses. Genealogist Tom Green([email protected]) states that John Green, son of Nicholas, along with most of John's siblings,moved to Kentucky. And most of William Green's family (Duff Green's son) immigrated toKentucky. We could be descended from any one of them. In addition, a few Greens, unrelated tothe family of Robert, immigrated to Virginia and Maryland in the 1600s. Sir Thomas Green (orGreene) married a Calvert and was appointed an early Governor of Maryland. Some of theMarylander Greens moved into Virginia.

Whoever our original American ancestor might have been, our great-grandfather, BarnetGreen was born somewhere in Kentucky in about 1816. He identifies his birth state as Kentuckyin the Censuses of 1850, 1860, and 1870, and in the Special Census of Missouri in 1876.Incidentally, in the 1910 Census, Thomas Parish Green stated that his father was born in Virginia,so the family may have migrated from Virginia to Kentucky only a few years before the birth ofour Barnet. Many years ago, I confused him in my research with another Barnet Green who wasborn in Harlan County, Kentucky, and who was descended from Lewis Green, Sr., aRevolutionary War veteran from Virginia. Unfortunately, I shared this information with others andit has gotten into the database of the Latter-Day Saints Library in Salt Lake City. But this family isalso descended from the Culpepper County Greens, and there may be a connection with ourGreens.

But back to my story. Our Barnet married a woman named Louiza or Louisa, who was alsoborn in Kentucky, and they migrated to Missouri in the 1840s, probably by way of boating on theOhio River and up the Missouri River. By 1850, he and Louisa (maiden name unknown) wereliving in Ray County, which borders the Missouri River in the western part of the state. By this


2

time, they had three children, Isaac, David L. and Lucinda. In late 1859 or early 1860, Barnetmoved his family to Charleston, Franklin County, Arkansas, which borders on the ArkansasRiver. The Census of 1860 shows the family with four more children: Louiza, James T., Mary B.and Elizabeth (called Emma D. in the later Census of 1870).

Louiza died in Arkansas, probably in Franklin County, perhaps in giving birth to Elizabeth. Afew years later, Barnet, still living in Franklin County, married Mary Jane Porter, who had beenborn in Alabama, but listed her birthplace as Tennessee, undoubtedly because McMinn County,Tennessee was the home of her father, Henry Hamilton Porter, Jr., and his family. Hergrandfather, Henry Hamilton Porter, was a prominent member of the community. In about 1866,after the birth of their first child, Albert Samuel, Barnet moved his family to Holt County, in thenorthwestern corner of Missouri, where the remainder of Mary Jane's children were born. Theylived on a farm in a bend of the Missouri River, near Bigelow. Barnet farmed and fishedcommercially, taking his large catfish catches downriver to St. Joseph's fish market.

The family's fortunes changed dramatically over a few years. A flood on the Missouri River "straightened out" the bend where the farm was located, carrying much of the land away to becomeriver silt. And Barnet died between 1876 and 1879. Thomas Parish Green, the youngest child, wasno more than three years old at the time. Mary Jane dictated a letter (she could not read or write) toan uncle in Somervell County, Texas, asking if she could bring her family to join him. When thereply arrived, she took the letter to her neighbor and asked him to read it to her. In the reading, heruncle welcomed her to join him. She then sold her farm to the neighbor. Barnet's older children byhis first wife remained in Missouri, but Mary Jane and her children boarded a train for Texas,probably taking the railroad south from St. Joseph where she made connection with the MKT(Katy Line) across Indian Territory to Texas. She made the last leg of the journey by wagon fromFort Worth.

When she arrived at her uncle's farm, he exclaimed, "What are you doing here"? "Because youtold me to come," she replied. It was then that she and her uncle, John Porter, realized that theMissouri neighbor had purposely mis-read the letter so that he could buy her farm. But she wasnow in Somervell County, Texas, and here she remained, settling on a cotton farm, which she andher children worked, not far from her uncle.

As the children matured, they married. Some moved away. Albert moved into NortheastTexas, then into Indian Territory where he married Sarah Everitt. Miranda married a man namedHunter and they moved to Fort Worth. Emily Annie married Ancil Love. Our grandfather,Thomas Parish Green (he preferred to be addressed as T.P.), married Mary Frances Roberts,daughter of Thomas Bryant Roberts and Mary Ann Janie Gee. In the U.S. Census of 1900, he isshown as head of a household which includes only Mary Frances and his mother, Mary Jane,living on a farm in adjacent Hood County. A few years later, he moved his family back across thecounty line to Somervell County. Tragedy struck the family in 1913 when the two oldest children,Elmer and Beaulah, died in a measles epidemic. Lewis, now the oldest living child, said in lateryears that T.P. never recovered from the deaths, and seemed to lose interest in life (See Notesunder Lewis Green).

In 1921, the family of Thomas Parish Green moved to northern Collingsworth County, southof Shamrock, in two covered wagons to begin a new life in a very different environment. Thisharsh area of sparse rainfall and frequent drought, sandy and clay soil cotton farms, red mesasknown as the Rocking Chair Mountains, the sweet water of Elm (pronounced "elum") Creek, thegyp waters of the Salt Fork and the North Fork of Red River, the gyp-rock hills and the fertile

bottom land of the Elm Valley in the eastern Texas Panhandle now became our ancestral home.

Descendants of Barnet Green

Generation No. 1

1. BARNET1 GREEN was born Abt. 1816 in Kentucky, and died Abt. 1878 in Bigelow, Holt County, Missouri. Hemarried (1) LOUIZA Abt. 1845 in Missouri or Arkansas. She was born Abt. 1819 in Kentucky, and died Bet. 1860- 1864 in prb Franklin County, Arkansas. He married (2) MARY JANE PORTER Abt. 1864 in prb Franklin County,Arkansas, daughter of HENRY PORTER and HARRIET DODSON. She was born Jan 1837 in Calhoun County,Alabama, and died Abt. 1909 in Hood County, Texas.

Notes for BARNET GREEN:Barnet's name is sometimes spelled "Barnett." His nickname was "Barney." He was born in Kentucky. The

family story is that he went west in pursuit of gold, but never returned to Kentucky. He was probably living inRay County, Missouri by 1844 when his oldest child, Isaac, was born. He evidently lived in Arkansas for a shorttime because his daughter, Emma D., was born there. Louisa possibly died there while giving birth to Emma D.

His first family is found in the Census of 1850, Ray County, Missouri, Household no. 856, District 75.

The family is again found in the U.S. Census of 1860, Franklin County, Mill Creek Twp., Charleston PostOffice, Arkansas, Series M653, Roll 41, Part 1, p. 336.

His second family is found in the U.S. Census of 1870, Holt County, Lewis Township, North Point post office, p.173, house no. 460, family no. 453. Although David L., and Emma D. are listed as the older children of Mary J.,they were actually the children of Barnet's first wife, Louisa. As for James, he shows up first in the Census of1870 as a 16-year old. My guess is that he was adopted, probably a member of the extended family of eitherBarnet or Mary Jane.

The family is also found in the 1876, HOLT COUNTY, MISSOURI, SPECIAL CENSUS (mimeographed copy


9

by Northwest Missouri Genealogy Society, St. Joseph, Missour). They were living in Bigelow, Missouri.

Green, Barnet 45 & over could read & write born in KentuckyJane 21-45 could not read or write born in Tenn.Albert 10-18 born in MissouriJames T. 10-18 born in MissouriEmma [Emily] under 10 born in MissouriMaud [Miranda]under 10 born in MissouriBarnet under 10 born in MissouriThomas P. under 10 born in MissouriBetsy [Elizabeth] 10-18 born in Missouri

The family story has it that Barnet Green had a farm on a bend of the Missouri River and lost most of it when aflood straightened out that bend. He was also a commercial fisherman who sold his catches in St. Joseph and alsopulled teeth. One descendant has the blued steel tooth extractors.

Barnet's death date has been estimated as 1878 because it was obviously between the Special Census of 1877and 1880 when Mary Jane and her children are found in Texas in the Census of 1880.

I believe that Emma D. and Elizabeth "Betsy" are one and the same, and that the initial "D" stands for "Dean."She remained behind in Missouri, probably as a married woman. The family story is that in the 1930s "Aunt"Dean (must be Emma D.), who had married a Boatright or Boatwright, was writing to Thomas Parish Green inTexas. There is also the story that a Mina Hogan, a cousin, possibly a daughter of Aunt Dean, lived in Missouriand also corresponded with the family in Texas.

Marriage Notes for BARNET GREEN and LOUIZA:Nancy Maricle [sic], age 16, married to Barnet [name is spelled with one "t"] Green, age 28, on 6 February 1857.Marriages of Harlan County, Kentucky, p. 20. In the same month, Lewis Green, age 20, married ElizabethMiracle, age 16, p. 20. Lewis may have been Barnet's brother. It appears that Nancy and Elizabeth, although theirlast names were spelled differently, both the same age, may have been twins. Miracle or Maracle is pronouncedwith a long i.

Notes for MARY JANE PORTER:Birthdate found in information about the family of Thomas Green, his wife Mary and his mother Mary in

U.S. Census, Hood County, Texas, 1900, precint 1, Household #155. The date of Mary Jane's birth is taken fromthis census.

The family story is that after the death of Barnet, Mary Jane wrote to a brother in Texas (he was actually heruncle), telling him that she wanted to join him. Because she was illiterate, she dictated the letter to a neighbor.When the reply came, the neighbor read the letter to her. He said that the relative told her to come and join himand his family. Mary Jane then sold her farm to the neighbor and traveled by train to Fort Worth, and by wagon toSomervell County, about 40 miles to the southwest. When she arrived, her relative was surprised. He told her thather neighbor had lied to her. His words in the letter were, "Don't come." But she was now in the community, andthere she remained. In the U.S. Census of 1880, Somervell County, Texas, p. 365, Mary Green is reportred to be43 years old and keeping house. She reported that both she and her mother were born in Tennessee, but her fatherwas born in North Carolina. The children living with her were Albert, age 14 listed as a "laborer," Emima (thecensus taker never seems to have gotten Emily Annie's name right), age 13, Miranda, age 11, Barnet, 6 andThomas, 4.

In Somervell County in 1880, Mary Jane was living next to the family of William Bizzell, a 44-year oldfarmer from North Carolina, whose children were all born in Tennessee. She may have done some housework for


10

this family to make ends meet.

The circumstantial evidence points to John Franklin Porter as the relative. First, his family lives near MaryJane, in Precint 4, p. 367A while Mary Jane's family is found on p. 365A. Second, John Franklin Porter is the sonof Henry Hamilton Porter of McMinn County, Tennessee. Third, in the estate records of Henry Hamilton Porter,McMinn County, are entries about the care of certain orphans named Porter which Henry Hamilton Portertransported from Alabama. These are Mary E. Porter and MARY JANE PORTER.On 30 November 1861, thereis the entry, "paid Mary J. Porter in Full; receipts from F.L. and J.D. Porter. Fourth, the marriage of one Henry H.Porter (undoubtedly the oldest son of Henry Hamilton Porter, the elder) and Harriett A. Dodson is recorded as 19January 1837 in Benton County (the name was later changed to Calhoun County), Alabama. And fifth, inFamilySearch Ancestral File v4.19 is found the Family Group Record of Henry H. Porter, married to Harriet A.Dodson in Calhoun County, Alabama on 19 January 1837. Three children are listed: F.L. (male), b. abt 1841, J.D.(male) b. abt 1843, and MARY JANE, b. 1838 (the birth year is off by one year). Mary Jane may have born justbefore or just after the marriage. Her father died in 1843, so her grandfather looked after her material needs.

Mary Jane Porter Green is buried in an unmarked grave near her son and daughter-in-law, Barnet Green andElizabeth Ford Green, and members of Elizabeth's Ford family in the rural cemetery of Nubbin Ridge in HoodCounty, Texas.

Notes for ELIZABETH GREEN:I believe that Elizabeth "Betsy" was also called Emma D. She did not move to Texas with Mary Jane Porter,her step-mother, when Barnet died about 1878. She possibly married a Boatright. Relatives named DeanBoatright (female) and Mina Hogan still lived in northwestern Missouri and kept in touch with the Greens inTexas as late as the 1930s. Elizabeth "Bet" Green, the daughter of Thomas Parish Green, son of Barnet, wasnamed after Elizabeth according to "Bet."

Stories about Albert Green

Albert came to the Indian Territory as a young man in the late 1880s or early 1890s. He was a horse trader. Hemet his future wife, Sarah Everitt, while he was drifting around trading horses. When he saw her on her father'splace, he asked her father if he could camp on the farm for a few days. Permission was given and they eventuallymarried. from Tommie Gibbs Green, a son of Thomas Parish Green.

When Albert traded horses he sometimes carried one of the old fashioned short rubber hoses with a funnel onone end and an "earpiece" stuck into the other end, a device which the hard-of-hearing carried in those days. Thisgave the impression to those with whom he was trading that he could hear only if they spoke directly into thefunnel while Albert held the other end in his ear. This gave him an advantage because they often said things abouttheir horses, etc. which they would not have shared with Albert. from Tommie Gibbs Green

Albert and his sons owned a country crossroads store between Byars and Stratford, Oklahoma in the oldChickasaw Nation. Although the store has long since disappeared, the corner was still known as Green's Corner aslate as 1970. from Tommie Gibbs Green.

When Albert visited his brother, Thomas Parish Green, near Wellington, Texas in the 1940s, he had adrooping white mustache and a tall black hat. He was known as a very kind old gentleman. from Donald E.Green.

6. THOMAS PARISH2 GREEN (BARNET1) was born 16 May 1876 in Bigelow, Holt County, Missouri, and died 28May 1959 in Wellington, Collingsworth County, Texas. He married MARY FRANCES ROBERTS 07 Aug 1898 inHood County, Texas, daughter of THOMAS ROBERTS and MARTHA GEE. She was born 06 Jul 1884 in JohnsonCounty, Texas, and died 19 Jan 1960 in Shamrock, Wheeler County, Texas.

Notes for THOMAS PARISH GREEN:Birth dates of Thomas Parish Green and his children are from a folded ledger page kept in the small Bible of

Thomas Parish Green. Page is in possession of Donald E. Green, grandson of Thomas Parish Green.The young family of Thomas Green, his wife Mary and his mother Mary is found in U.S. Census of 1900,

Hood County, Texas, Household #155 of Precint 1. This Census gives Mary Jane Porter Green's birthdate asJanuary 1837. The Ford family which married into the Green family is located nearby as Household #159 and#160.

The family is also found in the Census of 1910, Hood County, Texas, Household #37, Precint no. 7, Roll1563, Book 1, p. 188. Brother Barnet Green's family lived on an adjoining farm and is listed as Household #36.In the 1910 Census, Thomas P. lists his father's birth state as Virginia although in earlier Censuses, father Barnetlisted his birth state as Kentucky.

The family moved to the Post Oak Community of adjoining Somervell County sometime between in late1910 or early 191d. Somervell County Deep Records show that on 1 December 1910, T.P. Green of HoodCounty, purchased 90 acres of land from A. L. Howard and his wife, M.E. Howard for $625 plus the assumptionof notes owed on the land. On 7 September 1918, Jessie L. Collings, brother of an in-law of Mary FrancesRoberts Green, paid T.P. and Mary Frances one dollar for a five-year oil lease on the property.

By 1921, the farm was heavily mortgaged to the bank of Jeff Nutt in Granbury. That year, Lewis, the oldestson, announced to T.P. that he was leaving for the Panhandle. The Newmans, neighbors of the Greens, hadalready moved to the region, in the northern part of Collingsworth, a few miles south of Shamrock, and weresending back glowing reports of the farming opportunities. The area was ranching country which was beingplatted into farms. The freshly plowed sod contained no weeds, few stones and no insect pests of cotton. Bycontrast the boll weevil devastation had ruined cotton culture in Central Texas. When Lewis announced his plans,T.P. told him that the entire family would move with him, and informed Jeff Nutt that he could have the farm. Sothe family set out in two covered wagons bound for the "promised land." Herman, still a child, recalled manyyears afterward of seeing the large wooden-derrick drilling rigs of Burkburnett (the Burkburnett oil boom was infull bloom) as their mules pulled the wagons down the main street.

T.P. settled in northern Collingsworth County. For the first few years, he rented farms as a tenant farmer. Thefirst year, he rented a farm from Hugo Bergman, a German immigrant. The next year, he moved to a place ownedby Hal Vaughn, a prominent citizen of Shamrock, near Lone Mound. And the third year, the family moved to afarm on the north side of Elm Creek, between the Baxter ranch and the Frank Schoonover farm in the HackberryCommunity. Finally, before 1930, T.P. Green bought a 160-acre farm on the north side of the Rocking ChairMountains (a red stone mesa outcropping) from the Mill Iron Ranch. For more information, see Notes under sonLewis Green.

Notes for THEODORE ROOSEVELT GREEN:Named after the President. Thomas Parish Green was a staunch Republican and a supporter of TheodoreRoosevelt. "Ted" was born near the end of the second Roosevelt Administration. Had epilepsy as a child andwas kept out of school. As a result he could not read and could write only his name. As a young man he livedfrom time to time with his Roberts cousins in Montague County, Texas. He never married. Loved to tellstories which were highly embellished. As an older person he lived and worked for his nephew W. L. Green,and his brother, Lewis Green, in Collingsworth County, Texas.

It could be said about Ted that he never held down a long-term, full-time job, never had more than a fewdollars in his pocket, never owned a home or a car, never even rented a house, walked everywhere, smoked,drank black coffee, always had a ready story, smile and laugh, was never under stress, never sick (except for aruptured appendix in his 70s), and lived to the age of 92.

Notes for LEWIS GREEN:Lewis was born in Hood County and reared on a farm in neighboring Somervell County, in the Post Oak

Community. He attended the one-room Post Oak School and obtained a 4th grade education.Tragedy struck thefamily in 1913 when Lewis, then nine years old, contracted measles. His older brother and sister, Elmer andBeaulah, then caught the childhood disease from Lewis and died, Beaulah on February 13 and Elmer on March 3.Both were buried in the Post Oak Cemetery near the one-room school which the Green children attended. Lewiswas now the oldest child burdened forever with the memory that his older brother and sister had caught the deadlyepidemic from him. Lewis learned little from the Post Oak School master. But he had mathematical ability and to the end of hislife he did calculations without benefit of paper and pencil. As a child he became known primarily as a fighter andconstantly felt the need to defend his place in the "pecking order" on the school ground. He once told me that henever started a fight but never backed away from one. On one occasion in the one-room school, a boy sittingimmediately behind him whispered in his ear, "You're a son-of-a-bitch," as the boy rose to walk to the front of theclassroom to recite his lesson. Lewis sprang from his desk and took his opponent to the floor. With his kneespinning the boy's shoulders to the floor, Lewis drew back his fist and said, "If you have any last words you hadbetter say them now." The response was, "Lewis, if you won't hit me I will be your friend for life." No blow wasstruck. As my father was getting off his opponent, the schoolmaster grabbed him by the neck and escorted him to


16

the front of room. Lewis bent over the desk and as on many prior occasions, the teacher chose a stout rod and laidthe willow to him. After the death of Beaulah and Elmer, Thomas P. Green was never the same. He appeared to lose interest inlife, production on the small farm sharply declined, debts accumulated and hard times descended on the family.One day, Mary Frances took her oldest living son aside and told him, "Lewis you are going to have to make aliving for the family. If you don't we are going to starve to death." Thus at the age of ten Lewis had to quit school to became the bread winner. The cotton farm besieged byinfestation of the Mexican boll weevil yielded little so he picked fruit from the family's orchard and peddled it bywagon from door to door in nearby Glen Rose and Granbury. He picked cotton on neighbors' farms. He choppedcedar posts from the bottomlands of Paluxy Creek and the Brazos River. And he learned the haggler's art oftrading cows, horses and mules. A cow trader in Glen Rose once remarked,"You can trade with òld man' Green,but you had better watch that kid. He will get the better of the deal." He would cut a wagon-load of cedar posts one day and haul them into a nearby town as far away asStephenville where he would park on the courthouse square to await offers. On one occasion a rancher haggledwith him. They agreed on the final price. When the man counted out the money, Lewis told him that he wasreneging on the agreement and refused to take the money. As the boy and the man got into a loud argument overthe deal, the sheriff emerged from the courthouse to tell them that the county had a courtroom and a judge insidethe building which could settle the dispute. When Lewis announced in a loud voice that he would be willing totake the case to court, the man grudgingly pulled more money from his pocket. On his deathbed in 1980 my father confessed to me that he had illegally cut posts from government land. As Ithought about this child "stealing" from government timber land so that his family could survive, tears rolleddown my face as I assured Lewis that no one with a heart would possibly consider his act a "sin." During the cotton harvesting season in the fall, my father "pulled bolls" for neighbors and for farmers innearby counties. In 1920 he wrote the following letter to Grandpa Tom and Grandma Mary: "Dear Papa andMama and all the kids. How does this find you all. Well I hope. Well I am glad you all got done gathering corn.Well you all asked me about the cotton. The cotton is good right now. It is nearly all open now that is any count atall. And all the men I have talked with say that all the cotton will be picked in [?] days. . . . Well you asked mehow much had I made. Well $40 is all I have made. I will make $5 tomorrow but I [will] earn every bit of that forthis is the hottest place I [have] ever been. Papa you couldn't stand this heat. It won't do for them [?] to comedown here at all. . . . I want to get back there with $50 in my pocket. . . ." By 1920 the Mexican boll weevil had infested virtually all of the old cotton belt from Georgia to Texas. In oneof the few instances in history a tiny insect caused a mass migration. Families fled their East and Central Texasfarms for the prairie grasslands of the Texas Panhandle which they eagerly put to the plow. There on the northernedge of the cotton belt the fields were free of boll weevils and many of the noxious weeds common to the easternhalf of Texas. Several of the Greens' neighbors including the Newman family sold their farms and moved to these newlyopened lands near Shamrock. Mrs. Newman wrote to Grandmother Green telling her of the wonderful country.The year 1920 was one of the worst for the Greens. The farm now heavily mortgaged yielded little cotton and itbrought only a pittance. In 1921 Lewis told Tom and Mary Frances that he was moving to the Panhandle to findwork. Tom replied: "Lewis if you will give us two weeks' time, we will all move together." The older Green told thebanker who held the mortgage, Jeff Nutt of Granbury, that he could foreclose on the farm. With everythingpacked in two covered wagons the family started for West Texas. By this time the family consisted of sevenchildren: Lewis, Eva D. (b. January 18, 1906), Theodore Roosevelt "Ted" (b. February 17, 1908), Dollie (b.March 22, 1910), Herman Lee (b. March 3, 1914), Elizabeth "Bet" (b. April 30, 1918) and Tommy Gibbs (b.June 16, 1920). Their journey of about 250 miles took them north through Jacksboro. At Wichita Falls thewagons turned west to Childress before turning north again. They crossed the gypsym waters of the Red River,passed through Wellington and forded the Salt Fork of Red River and Elm Creek before stopping near LoneMound in northern Collingsworth County, a few miles southwest of Shamrock. In later years Herman recalled thathis only remembrance of the trip was the sight of scores of wooden oil derricks as they passed through theBurkburnett oil field. Story told by Lewis Green. In 1921, Lewis went to work as a cowboy on the Darlington Ranch east of Canadian City, Texas. The nextyear he worked for a ranch near Durham, Oklahoma and in 1923 he married Margaret Christene Schoonover. Aneighbor, John Bergman, brought the couple into Wellington on Christmas Eve of 1923 in his open cabautomobile. The ceremony was performed by Judge R. H. Templeton in the old Collingsworth CountyCourthouse. With only a few dollars in his pocket, he and Christene set up housekeeping in a rented farmsouthwest of Shamrock. He began farming cotton with a single mule.


17

Lewis and Christene weathered the agricultural depression of the 1920s, the Dust Bowl and the GreatDepression. They worked together in the fields. In addition to farming, Lewis traded cattle and horses andmanaged to pick up a few dollars at various jobs including working on a natural gas pipeline snaking its wayacross the Panhandle, building an overpass on U S Highway 66 and measuring crop land for the AgriculturalAdjustment Administration of the New Deal. In the 1930s, a Wellington banker began selling quarter-section abandoned farms to Lewis on credit. By 1940he was paying the notes off in one year from money made from the wheat crop on each respective farm. By theend of World War II, he was moving away from wheat and cotton and into Hereford cattle. In 1949 and 1950 heacquired the last of his land and blocked-up a 2400-acre ranch along the Salt Fork of Red River in easternCollingsworth County. He also leased other grasslands for grazing. He remained a rancher for the rest of his life.No one loved ranching more than Lewis. At one time he had a herd of more than 300 Hereford cows, bred byregistered bulls bought from the Mill Iron Ranch and from the prize herd of Rob Holland. He knew every cowindividually and could tell which ones were missing.

Notes for MARGARET CHRISTENE SCHOONOVER:Originally named Christina, Christene dropped the "a," changed the second "i" to an "e," and added an "e"

early in her life. In the 1910 Census, Wheeler County Texas, Precint No. 4, Household #100, she is listed asChristina. She was named after her two grandmothers. She grew up in Shamrock and the Hackberry Communityin northern Collingsworth County, about 10 miles southwest of Shamrock. She had an 8th grade education. Lewisand Christene were true equals in the marriage. At the time they married, Lewis had almost lost the skill ofreading but Christene taught him to read again. Their early household had few things to read except the Bible, anoccasional newspaper or magazine and the labels on canned food. Lewis began reading everything he saw aloud,pronouncing each word separately with a pause. He never learned to read to himself. As he came in from thefield at night and sat down to "supper" with Christene, he would turn to the kerosene cooking range and read themake and model, "New Perfection, model so-and-so." Chrtistene became weary with this rite so one night Lewiswas stopped from "reading the range" only when Christene told him, "Lewis, if you read the label on that stoveone more time, I am going to hit you with the frying pan." Needless to say, Lewis took the hint.

Christene joined the Church of Christ as a teenager. The Schoonover Family converted to this church becauseof the influence of her father's older brother, Joel Richard, who had married Zora Parrish, and Zora's brother,Lester Parrish's influence, upon Francis Marion "Frank" Schoonover, Jr. Richard, Frank and Lester workedtogether as blacksmiths. Zora and Lester's father, Henry, had been a member of this church, the conservativebranch of the Disciples of Christ movement, in his native Tennessee. Lester's younger brother, Henry Vinkler"Vink," married Christene's older sister, Irene.

Christene "converted" Lewis to the Church of Christ and in his middle age, he became an elder in the Churchat Wellington, Texas.

Notes for CHARLENE FAY SCHOONOVER:Both Charlene and her twin brother, Charles, became ill in the late fall of 1942. Charles died and it was fearedthat Charlene would also die. Her father and mother ordered two tiny coffins for the funeral. But the familydoctor, Dr. Gooch, had a physician son, Dr. Oliver Gooch, in the military. He happened to be on leave at the timeand knew about the new antibiotic (the first antibiotic) recently developed and used only by the military at thistime. He obtained some penecillin from nearby Amarillo Army Air Corps Base.

Because John Franklin Porter and his family were living in Precint 4 in Somervell County, the same Precint inwhich Mary Jane Porter Green and her family were living, I have concluded that John Franklin Porter has to beMary Jane's relative. See notes under Mary Jane Porter.

Generation No. 4

5. MARY JANE4 PORTER (HENRY HAMILTON3, HENRY HAMILTON2, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS1) was born Jan 1837in Calhoun County, Alabama, and died Abt. 1909 in Hood County, Texas. She married BARNET GREEN Abt.1864 in prb Franklin County, Arkansas. He was born Abt. 1816 in Kentucky, and died Abt. 1878 in Bigelow,


27

Holt County, Missouri.

Notes for MARY JANE PORTER:Birthdate found in information about the family of Thomas Green, his wife Mary and his mother Mary in

U.S. Census, Hood County, Texas, 1900, precint 1, Household #155. The date of Mary Jane's birth is taken fromthis census.

The family story is that after the death of Barnet, Mary Jane wrote to a brother in Texas (he was actually heruncle), telling him that she wanted to join him. Because she was illiterate, she dictated the letter to a neighbor.When the reply came, the neighbor read the letter to her. He said that the relative told her to come and join himand his family. Mary Jane then sold her farm to the neighbor and traveled by train to Fort Worth, and by wagon toSomervell County, about 40 miles to the southwest. When she arrived, her relative was surprised. He told her thather neighbor had lied to her. His words in the letter were, "Don't come." But she was now in the community, andthere she remained. In the U.S. Census of 1880, Somervell County, Texas, p. 365, Mary Green is reportred to be43 years old and keeping house. She reported that both she and her mother were born in Tennessee, but her fatherwas born in North Carolina. The children living with her were Albert, age 14 listed as a "laborer," Emima (thecensus taker never seems to have gotten Emily Annie's name right), age 13, Miranda, age 11, Barnet, 6 andThomas, 4.

In Somervell County in 1880, Mary Jane was living next to the family of William Bizzell, a 44-year oldfarmer from North Carolina, whose children were all born in Tennessee. She may have done some housework forthis family to make ends meet.

The circumstantial evidence points to John Franklin Porter as the relative. First, his family lives near MaryJane, in Precint 4, p. 367A while Mary Jane's family is found on p. 365A. Second, John Franklin Porter is the sonof Henry Hamilton Porter of McMinn County, Tennessee. Third, in the estate records of Henry Hamilton Porter,McMinn County, are entries about the care of certain orphans named Porter which Henry Hamilton Portertransported from Alabama. These are Mary E. Porter and MARY JANE PORTER.On 30 November 1861, thereis the entry, "paid Mary J. Porter in Full; receipts from F.L. and J.D. Porter. Fourth, the marriage of one Henry H.Porter (undoubtedly the oldest son of Henry Hamilton Porter, the elder) and Harriett A. Dodson is recorded as 19January 1837 in Benton County (the name was later changed to Calhoun County), Alabama. And fifth, inFamilySearch Ancestral File v4.19 is found the Family Group Record of Henry H. Porter, married to Harriet A.Dodson in Calhoun County, Alabama on 19 January 1837. Three children are listed: F.L. (male), b. abt 1841, J.D.(male) b. abt 1843, and MARY JANE, b. 1838 (the birth year is off by one year). Mary Jane may have born justbefore or just after the marriage. Her father died in 1843, so her grandfather looked after her material needs.

Mary Jane Porter Green is buried in an unmarked grave near her son and daughter-in-law, Barnet Green andElizabeth Ford Green, and members of Elizabeth's Ford family in the rural cemetery of Nubbin Ridge in HoodCounty, Texas.

Notes for BARNET GREEN:Barnet's name is sometimes spelled "Barnett." His nickname was "Barney." He was born in Kentucky. The

family story is that he went west in pursuit of gold, but never returned to Kentucky. He was probably living inRay County, Missouri by 1844 when his oldest child, Isaac, was born. He evidently lived in Arkansas for a shorttime because his daughter, Emma D., was born there. Louisa possibly died there while giving birth to Emma D.

His first family is found in the Census of 1850, Ray County, Missouri, Household no. 856, District 75.

The family is again found in the U.S. Census of 1860, Franklin County, Mill Creek Twp., Charleston PostOffice, Arkansas, Series M653, Roll 41, Part 1, p. 336.

His second family is found in the U.S. Census of 1870, Holt County, Lewis Township, North Point post office, p.173, house no. 460, family no. 453. Although David L., and Emma D. are listed as the older children of Mary J.,they were actually the children of Barnet's first wife, Louisa. As for James, he shows up first in the Census of1870 as a 16-year old. My guess is that he was adopted, probably a member of the extended family of eitherBarnet or Mary Jane.

The family story has it that Barnet Green had a farm on a bend of the Missouri River and lost most of it when aflood straightened out that bend. He was also a commercial fisherman who sold his catches in St. Joseph and alsopulled teeth. One descendant has the blued steel tooth extractors.

Barnet's death date has been estimated as 1878 because it was obviously between the Special Census of 1877and 1880 when Mary Jane and her children are found in Texas in the Census of 1880.

I believe that Emma D. and Elizabeth "Betsy" are one and the same, and that the initial "D" stands for "Dean."She remained behind in Missouri, probably as a married woman. The family story is that in the 1930s "Aunt"Dean (must be Emma D.), who had married a Boatright or Boatwright, was writing to Thomas Parish Green inTexas. There is also the story that a Mina Hogan, a cousin, possibly a daughter of Aunt Dean, lived in Missouriand also corresponded with the family in Texas.

Stories about Albert Green

Albert came to the Indian Territory as a young man in the late 1880s or early 1890s. He was a horse trader. Hemet his future wife, Sarah Everitt, while he was drifting around trading horses. When he saw her on her father'splace, he asked her father if he could camp on the farm for a few days. Permission was given and they eventuallymarried. from Tommie Gibbs Green, a son of Thomas Parish Green.

When Albert traded horses he sometimes carried one of the old fashioned short rubber hoses with a funnel onone end and an "earpiece" stuck into the other end, a device which the hard-of-hearing carried in those days. Thisgave the impression to those with whom he was trading that he could hear only if they spoke directly into thefunnel while Albert held the other end in his ear. This gave him an advantage because they often said things abouttheir horses, etc. which they would not have shared with Albert. from Tommie Gibbs Green

Albert and his sons owned a country crossroads store between Byars and Stratford, Oklahoma in the oldChickasaw Nation. Although the store has long since disappeared, the corner was still known as Green's Corner aslate as 1970. from Tommie Gibbs Green.

When Albert visited his brother, Thomas Parish Green, near Wellington, Texas in the 1940s, he had adrooping white mustache and a tall black hat. He was known as a very kind old gentleman. from Donald E.Green.

By 1921, the farm was heavily mortgaged to the bank of Jeff Nutt in Granbury. That year, Lewis, the oldestson, announced to T.P. that he was leaving for the Panhandle. The Newmans, neighbors of the Greens, hadalready moved to the region, in the northern part of Collingsworth, a few miles south of Shamrock, and weresending back glowing reports of the farming opportunities. The area was ranching country which was beingplatted into farms. The freshly plowed sod contained no weeds, few stones and no insect pests of cotton. By

contrast the boll weevil devastation had ruined cotton culture in Central Texas. When Lewis announced his plans,T.P. told him that the entire family would move with him, and informed Jeff Nutt that he could have the farm. Sothe family set out in two covered wagons bound for the "promised land." Herman, still a child, recalled manyyears afterward of seeing the large wooden-derrick drilling rigs of Burkburnett (the Burkburnett oil boom was infull bloom) as their mules pulled the wagons down the main street.

Community. He attended the one-room Post Oak School and obtained a 4th grade education.Tragedy struck thefamily in 1913 when Lewis, then nine years old, contracted measles. His older brother and sister, Elmer andBeaulah, then caught the childhood disease from Lewis and died, Beaulah on February 13 and Elmer on March 3.Both were buried in the Post Oak Cemetery near the one-room school which the Green children attended. Lewiswas now the oldest child burdened forever with the memory that his older brother and sister had caught the deadlyepidemic from him. Lewis learned little from the Post Oak School master. But he had mathematical ability and to the end of hislife he did calculations without benefit of paper and pencil. As a child he became known primarily as a fighter andconstantly felt the need to defend his place in the "pecking order" on the school ground. He once told me that henever started a fight but never backed away from one. On one occasion in the one-room school, a boy sittingimmediately behind him whispered in his ear, "You're a son-of-a-bitch," as the boy rose to walk to the front of theclassroom to recite his lesson. Lewis sprang from his desk and took his opponent to the floor. With his kneespinning the boy's shoulders to the floor, Lewis drew back his fist and said, "If you have any last words you hadbetter say them now." The response was, "Lewis, if you won't hit me I will be your friend for life." No blow wasstruck. As my father was getting off his opponent, the schoolmaster grabbed him by the neck and escorted him tothe front of room. Lewis bent over the desk and as on many prior occasions, the teacher chose a stout rod and laidthe willow to him. After the death of Beaulah and Elmer, Thomas P. Green was never the same. He appeared to lose interest inlife, production on the small farm sharply declined, debts accumulated and hard times descended on the family.One day, Mary Frances took her oldest living son aside and told him, "Lewis you are going to have to make aliving for the family. If you don't we are going to starve to death." Thus at the age of ten Lewis had to quit school to became the bread winner. The cotton farm besieged byinfestation of the Mexican boll weevil yielded little so he picked fruit from the family's orchard and peddled it bywagon from door to door in nearby Glen Rose and Granbury. He picked cotton on neighbors' farms. He choppedcedar posts from the bottomlands of Paluxy Creek and the Brazos River. And he learned the haggler's art oftrading cows, horses and mules. A cow trader in Glen Rose once remarked,"You can trade with òld man' Green,but you had better watch that kid. He will get the better of the deal." He would cut a wagon-load of cedar posts one day and haul them into a nearby town as far away asStephenville where he would park on the courthouse square to await offers. On one occasion a rancher haggledwith him. They agreed on the final price. When the man counted out the money, Lewis told him that he wasreneging on the agreement and refused to take the money. As the boy and the man got into a loud argument overthe deal, the sheriff emerged from the courthouse to tell them that the county had a courtroom and a judge insidethe building which could settle the dispute. When Lewis announced in a loud voice that he would be willing totake the case to court, the man grudgingly pulled more money from his pocket. On his deathbed in 1980 my father confessed to me that he had illegally cut posts from government land. As Ithought about this child "stealing" from government timber land so that his family could survive, tears rolleddown my face as I assured Lewis that no one with a heart would possibly consider his act a "sin." During the cotton harvesting season in the fall, my father "pulled bolls" for neighbors and for farmers innearby counties. In 1920 he wrote the following letter to Grandpa Tom and Grandma Mary: "Dear Papa andMama and all the kids. How does this find you all. Well I hope. Well I am glad you all got done gathering corn.


35

Well you all asked me about the cotton. The cotton is good right now. It is nearly all open now that is any count atall. And all the men I have talked with say that all the cotton will be picked in [?] days. . . . Well you asked mehow much had I made. Well $40 is all I have made. I will make $5 tomorrow but I [will] earn every bit of that forthis is the hottest place I [have] ever been. Papa you couldn't stand this heat. It won't do for them [?] to comedown here at all. . . . I want to get back there with $50 in my pocket. . . ." By 1920 the Mexican boll weevil had infested virtually all of the old cotton belt from Georgia to Texas. In oneof the few instances in history a tiny insect caused a mass migration. Families fled their East and Central Texasfarms for the prairie grasslands of the Texas Panhandle which they eagerly put to the plow. There on the northernedge of the cotton belt the fields were free of boll weevils and many of the noxious weeds common to the easternhalf of Texas. Several of the Greens' neighbors including the Newman family sold their farms and moved to these newlyopened lands near Shamrock. Mrs. Newman wrote to Grandmother Green telling her of the wonderful country.The year 1920 was one of the worst for the Greens. The farm now heavily mortgaged yielded little cotton and itbrought only a pittance. In 1921 Lewis told Tom and Mary Frances that he was moving to the Panhandle to findwork. Tom replied: "Lewis if you will give us two weeks' time, we will all move together." The older Green told thebanker who held the mortgage, Jeff Nutt of Granbury, that he could foreclose on the farm. With everythingpacked in two covered wagons the family started for West Texas. By this time the family consisted of sevenchildren: Lewis, Eva D. (b. January 18, 1906), Theodore Roosevelt "Ted" (b. February 17, 1908), Dollie (b.March 22, 1910), Herman Lee (b. March 3, 1914), Elizabeth "Bet" (b. April 30, 1918) and Tommy Gibbs (b.June 16, 1920). Their journey of about 250 miles took them north through Jacksboro. At Wichita Falls thewagons turned west to Childress before turning north again. They crossed the gypsym waters of the Red River,passed through Wellington and forded the Salt Fork of Red River and Elm Creek before stopping near LoneMound in northern Collingsworth County, a few miles southwest of Shamrock. In later years Herman recalled thathis only remembrance of the trip was the sight of scores of wooden oil derricks as they passed through theBurkburnett oil field. Story told by Lewis Green. In 1921, Lewis went to work as a cowboy on the Darlington Ranch east of Canadian City, Texas. The nextyear he worked for a ranch near Durham, Oklahoma and in 1923 he married Margaret Christene Schoonover. Aneighbor, John Bergman, brought the couple into Wellington on Christmas Eve of 1923 in his open cabautomobile. The ceremony was performed by Judge R. H. Templeton in the old Collingsworth CountyCourthouse. With only a few dollars in his pocket, he and Christene set up housekeeping in a rented farmsouthwest of Shamrock. He began farming cotton with a single mule. Lewis and Christene weathered the agricultural depression of the 1920s, the Dust Bowl and the GreatDepression. They worked together in the fields. In addition to farming, Lewis traded cattle and horses andmanaged to pick up a few dollars at various jobs including working on a natural gas pipeline snaking its wayacross the Panhandle, building an overpass on U S Highway 66 and measuring crop land for the AgriculturalAdjustment Administration of the New Deal. In the 1930s, a Wellington banker began selling quarter-section abandoned farms to Lewis on credit. By 1940he was paying the notes off in one year from money made from the wheat crop on each respective farm. By theend of World War II, he was moving away from wheat and cotton and into Hereford cattle. In 1949 and 1950 heacquired the last of his land and blocked-up a 2400-acre ranch along the Salt Fork of Red River in easternCollingsworth County. He also leased other grasslands for grazing. He remained a rancher for the rest of his life.No one loved ranching more than Lewis. At one time he had a herd of more than 300 Hereford cows, bred byregistered bulls bought from the Mill Iron Ranch and from the prize herd of Rob Holland. He knew every cowindividually and could tell which ones were missing.




early in her life. In the 1910 Census, Wheeler County Texas, Precint No. 4, Household #100, she is listed asChristina. She was named after her two grandmothers. She grew up in Shamrock and the Hackberry Community


36

in northern Collingsworth County, about 10 miles southwest of Shamrock. She had an 8th grade education. Lewisand Christene were true equals in the marriage. At the time they married, Lewis had almost lost the skill ofreading but Christene taught him to read again. Their early household had few things to read except the Bible, anoccasional newspaper or magazine and the labels on canned food. Lewis began reading everything he saw aloud,pronouncing each word separately with a pause. He never learned to read to himself. As he came in from thefield at night and sat down to "supper" with Christene, he would turn to the kerosene cooking range and read themake and model, "New Perfection, model so-and-so." Chrtistene became weary with this rite so one night Lewiswas stopped from "reading the range" only when Christene told him, "Lewis, if you read the label on that stoveone more time, I am going to hit you with the frying pan." Needless to say, Lewis took the hint.

8. LEWIS7 GREEN (MARY FRANCES6 ROBERTS, MARTHA ANNIE JANE5 GEE, MILES MARYLAND4, WILLIAM3, ROBERT2,PHILIP1) was born 05 Dec 1903 in Nubbin Ridge, Hood County, Texas, and died 21 Jul 1980 in Wellington,Collingsworth County, Texas. He married MARGARET CHRISTENE SCHOONOVER 24 Dec 1923 in Wellington,Collingsworth County, Texas, daughter of FRANCIS SCHOONOVER and HARRIET SHOWS.

Community. He attended the one-room Post Oak School and obtained a 4th grade education.Tragedy struck thefamily in 1913 when Lewis, then nine years old, contracted measles. His older brother and sister, Elmer and


50

Beaulah, then caught the childhood disease from Lewis and died, Beaulah on February 13 and Elmer on March 3.Both were buried in the Post Oak Cemetery near the one-room school which the Green children attended. Lewiswas now the oldest child burdened forever with the memory that his older brother and sister had caught the deadlyepidemic from him. Lewis learned little from the Post Oak School master. But he had mathematical ability and to the end of hislife he did calculations without benefit of paper and pencil. As a child he became known primarily as a fighter andconstantly felt the need to defend his place in the "pecking order" on the school ground. He once told me that henever started a fight but never backed away from one. On one occasion in the one-room school, a boy sittingimmediately behind him whispered in his ear, "You're a son-of-a-bitch," as the boy rose to walk to the front of theclassroom to recite his lesson. Lewis sprang from his desk and took his opponent to the floor. With his kneespinning the boy's shoulders to the floor, Lewis drew back his fist and said, "If you have any last words you hadbetter say them now." The response was, "Lewis, if you won't hit me I will be your friend for life." No blow wasstruck. As my father was getting off his opponent, the schoolmaster grabbed him by the neck and escorted him tothe front of room. Lewis bent over the desk and as on many prior occasions, the teacher chose a stout rod and laidthe willow to him. After the death of Beaulah and Elmer, Thomas P. Green was never the same. He appeared to lose interest inlife, production on the small farm sharply declined, debts accumulated and hard times descended on the family.One day, Mary Frances took her oldest living son aside and told him, "Lewis you are going to have to make aliving for the family. If you don't we are going to starve to death." Thus at the age of ten Lewis had to quit school to became the bread winner. The cotton farm besieged byinfestation of the Mexican boll weevil yielded little so he picked fruit from the family's orchard and peddled it bywagon from door to door in nearby Glen Rose and Granbury. He picked cotton on neighbors' farms. He choppedcedar posts from the bottomlands of Paluxy Creek and the Brazos River. And he learned the haggler's art oftrading cows, horses and mules. A cow trader in Glen Rose once remarked,"You can trade with òld man' Green,but you had better watch that kid. He will get the better of the deal." He would cut a wagon-load of cedar posts one day and haul them into a nearby town as far away asStephenville where he would park on the courthouse square to await offers. On one occasion a rancher haggledwith him. They agreed on the final price. When the man counted out the money, Lewis told him that he wasreneging on the agreement and refused to take the money. As the boy and the man got into a loud argument overthe deal, the sheriff emerged from the courthouse to tell them that the county had a courtroom and a judge insidethe building which could settle the dispute. When Lewis announced in a loud voice that he would be willing totake the case to court, the man grudgingly pulled more money from his pocket. On his deathbed in 1980 my father confessed to me that he had illegally cut posts from government land. As Ithought about this child "stealing" from government timber land so that his family could survive, tears rolleddown my face as I assured Lewis that no one with a heart would possibly consider his act a "sin." During the cotton harvesting season in the fall, my father "pulled bolls" for neighbors and for farmers innearby counties. In 1920 he wrote the following letter to Grandpa Tom and Grandma Mary: "Dear Papa andMama and all the kids. How does this find you all. Well I hope. Well I am glad you all got done gathering corn.Well you all asked me about the cotton. The cotton is good right now. It is nearly all open now that is any count atall. And all the men I have talked with say that all the cotton will be picked in [?] days. . . . Well you asked mehow much had I made. Well $40 is all I have made. I will make $5 tomorrow but I [will] earn every bit of that forthis is the hottest place I [have] ever been. Papa you couldn't stand this heat. It won't do for them [?] to comedown here at all. . . . I want to get back there with $50 in my pocket. . . ." By 1920 the Mexican boll weevil had infested virtually all of the old cotton belt from Georgia to Texas. In oneof the few instances in history a tiny insect caused a mass migration. Families fled their East and Central Texasfarms for the prairie grasslands of the Texas Panhandle which they eagerly put to the plow. There on the northernedge of the cotton belt the fields were free of boll weevils and many of the noxious weeds common to the easternhalf of Texas. Several of the Greens' neighbors including the Newman family sold their farms and moved to these newlyopened lands near Shamrock. Mrs. Newman wrote to Grandmother Green telling her of the wonderful country.The year 1920 was one of the worst for the Greens. The farm now heavily mortgaged yielded little cotton and itbrought only a pittance. In 1921 Lewis told Tom and Mary Frances that he was moving to the Panhandle to findwork. Tom replied: "Lewis if you will give us two weeks' time, we will all move together." The older Green told thebanker who held the mortgage, Jeff Nutt of Granbury, that he could foreclose on the farm. With everythingpacked in two covered wagons the family started for West Texas. By this time the family consisted of sevenchildren: Lewis, Eva D. (b. January 18, 1906), Theodore Roosevelt "Ted" (b. February 17, 1908), Dollie (b.


51

March 22, 1910), Herman Lee (b. March 3, 1914), Elizabeth "Bet" (b. April 30, 1918) and Tommy Gibbs (b.June 16, 1920). Their journey of about 250 miles took them north through Jacksboro. At Wichita Falls thewagons turned west to Childress before turning north again. They crossed the gypsym waters of the Red River,passed through Wellington and forded the Salt Fork of Red River and Elm Creek before stopping near LoneMound in northern Collingsworth County, a few miles southwest of Shamrock. In later years Herman recalled thathis only remembrance of the trip was the sight of scores of wooden oil derricks as they passed through theBurkburnett oil field. Story told by Lewis Green. In 1921, Lewis went to work as a cowboy on the Darlington Ranch east of Canadian City, Texas. The nextyear he worked for a ranch near Durham, Oklahoma and in 1923 he married Margaret Christene Schoonover. Aneighbor, John Bergman, brought the couple into Wellington on Christmas Eve of 1923 in his open cabautomobile. The ceremony was performed by Judge R. H. Templeton in the old Collingsworth CountyCourthouse. With only a few dollars in his pocket, he and Christene set up housekeeping in a rented farmsouthwest of Shamrock. He began farming cotton with a single mule. Lewis and Christene weathered the agricultural depression of the 1920s, the Dust Bowl and the GreatDepression. They worked together in the fields. In addition to farming, Lewis traded cattle and horses andmanaged to pick up a few dollars at various jobs including working on a natural gas pipeline snaking its wayacross the Panhandle, building an overpass on U S Highway 66 and measuring crop land for the AgriculturalAdjustment Administration of the New Deal. In the 1930s, a Wellington banker began selling quarter-section abandoned farms to Lewis on credit. By 1940he was paying the notes off in one year from money made from the wheat crop on each respective farm. By theend of World War II, he was moving away from wheat and cotton and into Hereford cattle. In 1949 and 1950 heacquired the last of his land and blocked-up a 2400-acre ranch along the Salt Fork of Red River in easternCollingsworth County. He also leased other grasslands for grazing. He remained a rancher for the rest of his life.No one loved ranching more than Lewis. At one time he had a herd of more than 300 Hereford cows, bred byregistered bulls bought from the Mill Iron Ranch and from the prize herd of Rob Holland. He knew every cowindividually and could tell which ones were missing.

Notes for WILLIAM ROBERTS:William Roberts was born in Tennessee. His father and mother, as yet unknown, were born in North Carolina.After living in Panola County, in the rich delta area of Mississippi, he arrived in North Texas, Lamar County, inthe 1850s. Somewhere along the way, Piety (maiden name unknown) died. In Lamar County, he married a youngwoman, more than thirty years younger than William, a former Comanche captive named Jane Adeline SmithWilson. By 1860, he was living on a farm in Wise County where Jane probably died. In his later years, he wasliving in Grayson County with his third wife, Kitty Short. He died near Whitesboro and is buried in the cemeteryunder a Masonic Lodge tombstone.

Notes for JANE ADELINE SMITH:Jane was a captive of Comanche Indians for several weeks after her husband, James Wilson, was killed. She wasrescued by a Pueblo Indian who was a member of a Comanchero trading party, who then took her to Santa Fe,where she gave birth to James Garland Wilson. An eastern newspaperman who happened to be in Santa Fe at thetime, wrote the story of her captivity for the eastern press. Because of the story, published in the form of a smallbook, her case was taken to Congress which then appropriated a sum of money for the purpose of ransomingpersons taken captive by Indians. After the birth of her child, she returned to Lamar County, Texas, where shemarried the much older William Roberts.

Because of Jane's terrifying experience as an Indian captive, publicized by the Eastern press, Congress passedspecial legislation to provide federal money to ransom white captives of Indians. See below.

Gary Wilson is Jane Wilson Roberts' descendant by her firsthusband, James. Soon after being rescued by a party of Comancheros (those who traded with the Comanches),Jane was taken to Santa Fe where she gave birth to a son, James, named after his father who had been killed in theComanche raid on the Wilson's wagon. Incidentally, Jane's rescuer, the one who first spotted her, was a PuebloIndian.

3. SIMUEL BUFORD2 ROBERTS (WILLIAM1) was born 16 Oct 1858 in Paris, Lamar County, Texas, and died 22 Sep1927 in Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana. He married ADA RUTH BOSTWICK 27 Aug 1880 in Hamilton,Gallatin County, Montana, daughter of SAMUEL BOSTWICK and MARY GORDON. She was born 12 Jul 1863 inDenver, Colorado, and died 03 Nov 1912 in Miles City, Custer County, Montana.

Notes for SIMUEL BUFORD ROBERTS:After the death of his father, he endured the cruelty of his step-mother, Kitty Short, for a time. After he filchedsome sugar from the kitchen, Kitty had her son tie Sim to a tree branch by his thumbs, then beat him with a leatherstrap on his bare back. As an old man, the corduroy scars were still visible on his back.

Sim and his older brother, Will, ran away from home and began working as cattle drovers for various outfits,working as far south as Mexico and as far north as Nebraska and Montana. The boys bought ivory-handled Colt'sRevolvers and practiced, practiced, practiced target shooting until they became very proficient "shootists."


62

By 1879, they were working for the Montana Cattle Company. That fall, as they were relaxing from the fall'sroundup in a saloon in Bozeman, Will got into an argument and then a fist-fight with a man named Keeney.Keeney left the saloon and returned shortly with a gun. He shot Will in the back. Sim jerked his pistol and shotKeeney in the ear. Both men were dead as they hit the floor.

Over the years, Sim earned a reputation with a gun. He often carried two or more guns, but only one in a holster.He was left-handed, but ambidextrous, just as accurate with his right trigger-finger as with his left one. He wastried for murder twice, but acquitted in both cases.

Sim worked for several ranches in Montana over the next few years including the Two-Dot which also employeda young cowboy from St. Louis who carried a sketch-pad. His name was Charles Russell and he would become afamous cowboy artist. One chilly morning, a cowhand named Doc Nelson stepped into the stirrup of a skittishhorse too near the chuck wagon, and Russell sketched the scene. Later, Russell made a painting from the sceneand entitled it, "Bronc to Breakfast." Sim was the foreman of the outfit and he is second from the left in thebackground, the bow-legged cowboy standing next to a hand in white angora-wool chaps (White Chaps CharlieBurt).

He stopped working for the big ranches after he got into ranching through the use of "the long rope," i.e. rustlingunmarked/unbranded cattle and putting his own brand, the dollar sign, on the animals. His herd increased to afew hundred, then he began acquiring registered stock and changed his occupation to that of "stock farmer." Bythe time he died, he was living near Miles City, Montana. Some months before his death, with the aid of theGovernor of Montana, Sim was appointed U.S. Deputy Marshall for Montana in Charge of Cattle Thefts. Whensome newspaper editor protested that Sim had been a cattle rustler in his younger years, the Governor said thatwas why he got Sim the commission. "He knows every trick in the book."

After Will's death, Sim courted and married Will's fiancee, Ada Bostwick, a young school teacher. They had fivesons who lived to maturity. One of them, Samuel, was commissioned a 2d Lieutenant in World War I.

In the U.S. Census of 1880, Sim was living in the following household in the Musselshell Valley, MeagherCounty, Montana( (p. 430B):

John Murphy, head, white, 52, born in Pennsylvania, occupation--raising cattleSim Roberts, other, white, 20, born in Texas, , occupation--raising cattleJoseph Collins, other, white, 25, born in Texas, occupation--raising cattleS. E. Thomas, other, white, 22, born in Tennessee, occupation--farmerTim Breckinridge, other, black, 17, born in Missouri, occupation--servant

6. LEWIS4 GREEN (MARY FRANCES3 ROBERTS, THOMAS BRYANT2, WILLIAM1) was born 05 Dec 1903 in NubbinRidge, Hood County, Texas, and died 21 Jul 1980 in Wellington, Collingsworth County, Texas. He marriedMARGARET CHRISTENE SCHOONOVER 24 Dec 1923 in Wellington, Collingsworth County, Texas, daughter ofFRANCIS SCHOONOVER and HARRIET SHOWS. She was born 27 Jan 1905 in Dryden, Greer County, OklahomaTerritory, and died 05 Nov 1992 in Wellington, Collingsworth County, Texas.


Community. He attended the one-room Post Oak School and obtained a 4th grade education.Tragedy struck thefamily in 1913 when Lewis, then nine years old, contracted measles. His older brother and sister, Elmer andBeaulah, then caught the childhood disease from Lewis and died, Beaulah on February 13 and Elmer on March 3.Both were buried in the Post Oak Cemetery near the one-room school which the Green children attended. Lewiswas now the oldest child burdened forever with the memory that his older brother and sister had caught the deadlyepidemic from him. Lewis learned little from the Post Oak School master. But he had mathematical ability and to the end of hislife he did calculations without benefit of paper and pencil. As a child he became known primarily as a fighter andconstantly felt the need to defend his place in the "pecking order" on the school ground. He once told me that henever started a fight but never backed away from one. On one occasion in the one-room school, a boy sittingimmediately behind him whispered in his ear, "You're a son-of-a-bitch," as the boy rose to walk to the front of theclassroom to recite his lesson. Lewis sprang from his desk and took his opponent to the floor. With his kneespinning the boy's shoulders to the floor, Lewis drew back his fist and said, "If you have any last words you hadbetter say them now." The response was, "Lewis, if you won't hit me I will be your friend for life." No blow wasstruck. As my father was getting off his opponent, the schoolmaster grabbed him by the neck and escorted him tothe front of room. Lewis bent over the desk and as on many prior occasions, the teacher chose a stout rod and laidthe willow to him. After the death of Beaulah and Elmer, Thomas P. Green was never the same. He appeared to lose interest inlife, production on the small farm sharply declined, debts accumulated and hard times descended on the family.


67

One day, Mary Frances took her oldest living son aside and told him, "Lewis you are going to have to make aliving for the family. If you don't we are going to starve to death." Thus at the age of ten Lewis had to quit school to became the bread winner. The cotton farm besieged byinfestation of the Mexican boll weevil yielded little so he picked fruit from the family's orchard and peddled it bywagon from door to door in nearby Glen Rose and Granbury. He picked cotton on neighbors' farms. He choppedcedar posts from the bottomlands of Paluxy Creek and the Brazos River. And he learned the haggler's art oftrading cows, horses and mules. A cow trader in Glen Rose once remarked,"You can trade with òld man' Green,but you had better watch that kid. He will get the better of the deal." He would cut a wagon-load of cedar posts one day and haul them into a nearby town as far away asStephenville where he would park on the courthouse square to await offers. On one occasion a rancher haggledwith him. They agreed on the final price. When the man counted out the money, Lewis told him that he wasreneging on the agreement and refused to take the money. As the boy and the man got into a loud argument overthe deal, the sheriff emerged from the courthouse to tell them that the county had a courtroom and a judge insidethe building which could settle the dispute. When Lewis announced in a loud voice that he would be willing totake the case to court, the man grudgingly pulled more money from his pocket. On his deathbed in 1980 my father confessed to me that he had illegally cut posts from government land. As Ithought about this child "stealing" from government timber land so that his family could survive, tears rolleddown my face as I assured Lewis that no one with a heart would possibly consider his act a "sin." During the cotton harvesting season in the fall, my father "pulled bolls" for neighbors and for farmers innearby counties. In 1920 he wrote the following letter to Grandpa Tom and Grandma Mary: "Dear Papa andMama and all the kids. How does this find you all. Well I hope. Well I am glad you all got done gathering corn.Well you all asked me about the cotton. The cotton is good right now. It is nearly all open now that is any count atall. And all the men I have talked with say that all the cotton will be picked in [?] days. . . . Well you asked mehow much had I made. Well $40 is all I have made. I will make $5 tomorrow but I [will] earn every bit of that forthis is the hottest place I [have] ever been. Papa you couldn't stand this heat. It won't do for them [?] to comedown here at all. . . . I want to get back there with $50 in my pocket. . . ." By 1920 the Mexican boll weevil had infested virtually all of the old cotton belt from Georgia to Texas. In oneof the few instances in history a tiny insect caused a mass migration. Families fled their East and Central Texasfarms for the prairie grasslands of the Texas Panhandle which they eagerly put to the plow. There on the northernedge of the cotton belt the fields were free of boll weevils and many of the noxious weeds common to the easternhalf of Texas. Several of the Greens' neighbors including the Newman family sold their farms and moved to these newlyopened lands near Shamrock. Mrs. Newman wrote to Grandmother Green telling her of the wonderful country.The year 1920 was one of the worst for the Greens. The farm now heavily mortgaged yielded little cotton and itbrought only a pittance. In 1921 Lewis told Tom and Mary Frances that he was moving to the Panhandle to findwork. Tom replied: "Lewis if you will give us two weeks' time, we will all move together." The older Green told thebanker who held the mortgage, Jeff Nutt of Granbury, that he could foreclose on the farm. With everythingpacked in two covered wagons the family started for West Texas. By this time the family consisted of sevenchildren: Lewis, Eva D. (b. January 18, 1906), Theodore Roosevelt "Ted" (b. February 17, 1908), Dollie (b.March 22, 1910), Herman Lee (b. March 3, 1914), Elizabeth "Bet" (b. April 30, 1918) and Tommy Gibbs (b.June 16, 1920). Their journey of about 250 miles took them north through Jacksboro. At Wichita Falls thewagons turned west to Childress before turning north again. They crossed the gypsym waters of the Red River,passed through Wellington and forded the Salt Fork of Red River and Elm Creek before stopping near LoneMound in northern Collingsworth County, a few miles southwest of Shamrock. In later years Herman recalled thathis only remembrance of the trip was the sight of scores of wooden oil derricks as they passed through theBurkburnett oil field. Story told by Lewis Green. In 1921, Lewis went to work as a cowboy on the Darlington Ranch east of Canadian City, Texas. The nextyear he worked for a ranch near Durham, Oklahoma and in 1923 he married Margaret Christene Schoonover. Aneighbor, John Bergman, brought the couple into Wellington on Christmas Eve of 1923 in his open cabautomobile. The ceremony was performed by Judge R. H. Templeton in the old Collingsworth CountyCourthouse. With only a few dollars in his pocket, he and Christene set up housekeeping in a rented farmsouthwest of Shamrock. He began farming cotton with a single mule. Lewis and Christene weathered the agricultural depression of the 1920s, the Dust Bowl and the GreatDepression. They worked together in the fields. In addition to farming, Lewis traded cattle and horses andmanaged to pick up a few dollars at various jobs including working on a natural gas pipeline snaking its wayacross the Panhandle, building an overpass on U S Highway 66 and measuring crop land for the Agricultural

Adjustment Administration of the New Deal. In the 1930s, a Wellington banker began selling quarter-section abandoned farms to Lewis on credit. By 1940he was paying the notes off in one year from money made from the wheat crop on each respective farm. By theend of World War II, he was moving away from wheat and cotton and into Hereford cattle. In 1949 and 1950 heacquired the last of his land and blocked-up a 2400-acre ranch along the Salt Fork of Red River in easternCollingsworth County. He also leased other grasslands for grazing. He remained a rancher for the rest of his life.No one loved ranching more than Lewis. At one time he had a herd of more than 300 Hereford cows, bred byregistered bulls bought from the Mill Iron Ranch and from the prize herd of Rob Holland. He knew every cowindividually and could tell which ones were missing.

73

Both Charlene and her twin brother, Charles, became ill in the late fall of 1942. Charles died and it was fearedthat Charlene would also die. Her father and mother ordered two tiny coffins for the funeral. But the familydoctor, Dr. Gooch, had a physician son, Dr. Oliver Gooch, in the military. He happened to be on leave at the timeand knew about the new antibiotic (the first antibiotic) recently developed and used only by the military at thistime. He obtained some penecillin from nearby Amarillo Army Air Corps Base. He guessed at the dosage andinjected Charlene with what was the first penecillin given to a civilian, perhaps in the entire Texas Panhandle. Sheimmediately got better and recovered.
