Surely someone has more of this family history. Custer-Herron Cem--whats the history for the cem. I want to add something about William . Are we accepting him as John Martin's brother.? I'm ready to just on your say so !! I don't have another 40 years to invest. He surely remarried after Melvina died. Is he the William "Uncle Billy" Green(e) who married Alamiranda "Miranda" Anglin. The following is what I have on this couple. "Uncle" Billy Greene age 86 died Dec 19 1914. Lived in Baxter Co for 60 years. His wife is 78, sister to Geo and Mark Anglin. Billy buried in Thacker Cem. 1880 census Whiteville Baxter Co Ark Green William self M M W 47 TN occp farmer father ? mother ? Green Almarinda wife F M W 42 TN occp Keeping house fa GA Moo NC Miranda Anglin born 1837 Tenn dau of Daniel Benjamin Anglin and Sarah Barnham Miranda was first married to a Wisdom who was born in Ill and died 1860 ? They had a dau Malinda who marrried John Stanley Pierce ( born 1849 Ill) " William Green joined the Civil War 1862 card # 44181531--Co G Freeman's Regiment Missouri Calvary- Confedrate--Private. Enlisted in Izard Co Arkansas Oct of 1862 , age 29. Blue eyed, fair hair and complexed--5'11'"tall. Paroled at Jackson Port Ark June 5 1865. Death certificate states William's parents were James Green and unknown. William was born in Overton Co Tennessee-mother born in Tennessee. William's date of birth is Sept 20 1828" Only problem here is they didn't state WHEN this William died !! But it sure matches with our William's dates. Also joining Civil War at the same time is John Marion Green with card # 44181530 and is described identical to William. BUT I'm told that this John Marion Green is the Green who married wives Blankenship-Ivie and Williams and whose father was Lewis Green . Now one last thing and I'll quit with William. Don Ott sent me the Daniel Benjamin Anglin family history--Daniel had another child--John Wesley Anglin who married Tennessee Catherine Guinn . They married in Marion Co Ark . Recall the Gunn that was in Annis' family --to me it sure puts these families in close contact with each other . Thoughts
