    1. [MOAUDRAI] Re: ROLL CALL: Green, 1860-Present
    2. Looking for descendants (and ancestors) of James Edward "Uncle Jimmie" Green, born in KY on Nov. 25, 1831. He was married to Sarah Frances Byrns (Byrnes) on Aug. 25, 1859 in Audrain Co., MO. James' father's name is unknown. Mother was Eliza or Elizabeth. Sarah Frances Byrns was born Feb. 25, 1840 in Audrain, a daughter of William Byrnes (Byrns) and Catherine H. Throckmorton. James and Sarah were living in Salt River Twp, during the 1860 Census with his widowed mother, Eliza, age 55. I know that James & Sarah were longtime members of the Union Chapel Church near their farm south of Mexico. An "Elizabeth Green" is recorded as a "charter member" of this same church when it was organized in 1862. Known children of James Green and Sarah Byrns are: 1) George W. Green (my great-grandpa), b. Jan. 1863 m. Alice W. Eller 2) Sallie C. Green, b. Dec. 22, 1864 m. John S. Atkins 3) Ida J. Green, b. 1868 m. W. E. Watts 4) James H. Green, b. 1871 5) Howard Frank Green, b. 1873 m. Grace __________ 6) Emma W. Green, b. July 12, 1874 m. Robert L. Brown 7) Richard or Wade Hampton Green, b. May 8, 1877 m. Bertha Nellie Ridgeway There may have also been an 8th child, a daughter possibly named Mary, who died as an infant. Sarah Byrns Green passed away on November 29-30, 1907 near Mexico, Audrain Co., MO. James E. Green died on Sept. 25, 1923 after breaking his hip following a fall from the porch of his daughter, Ida J. Watts, on North Clark Street. I'm desperate to locate any other living "cousins" descended from James & Sarah. Thanks for your help. Rod Green, Austin, TX.
