I'm looking for any information on who might have been the parents of James B. ("J. B.") GREEN, b. 23 Aug 1842 in (unknown county) TN. He married Margaret T. SUDBURY on 4 Sep 1873 in Weakly Co., TN, and they had 2 children - William Edgar GREEN, b. 3 June 1874 in TN, and Ottie Bell May GREEN b. 25 May 1877 also in TN. They were residing in Nashville, Davidson Co., TN for the 1880 census where James was listed as being blind. He died 17 May 1887. The only reason I have [presumably?] solid dates for him is that his information was included in the Sudbury family Bible, a copy of which found its way into my hands a couple of years ago (his daughter, Ottie Belle was my ggrandmother). Family "legend" says there was indian blood - and my best guess is that if it did exist, it is most likely in the Green line rather than the Sudbury. If any of this sounds familiar to anyone, I'd be interested to hear about it. I'm particularly interested in knowing if the son, William Edgar GREEN survived/married/had descendants, etc, as no death info for him was included in the Bible record - yet no further info implying he might have lived longer was included either.
