GREENs appear to originate in Michigan. Puzzle as to when or how they arrived in Wisconsin and met Seth Dana BARDEN who subsequently married ELSIE J. GREEN. Only this is that Elsie disappeared shortly after marriage and then Seth was then seen marrying a Minnie Ann FRENCH. Matthew GREEN and Amelia FORD. Daughter Elsie J. GREEN noted marrying Seth Dana BARDEN at New Haven, Dunn County, WI on 31 May 1890. Published in Dunn County News 13 Jun 1890. I have absolutely NO information on any of these GREENs prior to this ... and especially Elsie J. Green BARDEN departed via hot air balloon shortly after. I guess that probably Elsie died in childbirth possibly circa 1891/1892. I need information on this GREEN family. Witnesses to the marriage with Elsie J. GREEN were Seth's sister Mary C. CLARK wife of EDMUND A. CLARK and Franklin M. BARDEN (brother). Seth, Mary and Franklin are children of Horace McKendry BARDEN and Phoebe L. BLOOD. I need information on the CLARKs, BLOODs, FORDs and Franklin BARDEN and Horace BARDEN. About four years later Seth Dana BARDEN is noted marrying Minnie Ann FRENCH at Prairie Farm, Barron County (about 20 miles north) on 25 December 1894 by Methodist Episcopal Minister Reverend Paul HULL. Note that Reverend Seth BARDEN is with the United Brethren Church. While married to Elsie GREEN he served at FENNIMORE, Grant County, WI. So details about Elsie may center around FENNIMORE. His preaching career while married to Minnie Ann French BARDEN was in the general Barron, Dunn, Rusk & Chippewa Counties area. If anyone can relate to this CLARK, GREEN, FORD or BLOOD families I sure would appreciate infromation. Thank you, Don Barden, Satsuma, FL
