William & Martha's marriage information found in Madison Co, TN.

William & David Columbus Green found on 1880 Crockett County,Tenn census; living next door to one another. I now know that they are brothers and William's middle initial is "C" and not "M" as I had previously thought. I don't know what the "C" stands for at this point.  The Green family lived in  Wayne Co.,TN in 1850,  Hardin Co., TN in 1860, Crockett Co., TN in 1880, and Dyer Co., TN in 1900.

William is buried in Hamlin East cemetery. He was 67 years old when he died. After his death Martha went back to Tennessee
& remarried.

I now have reason to believe that William's father William (WM) may have been divorced from his wife & she remarried
before his death. I assume at the time of William Mathus' (the son) death, his wife or family gave the death information &
referred to his father as William (WM) Green & his mother as Mrs Alexander (being her name after she remarried) or that this
may have been her maiden name??

I have an update for my Greens on your site.

I had thought due to a note in a death book at our county courthouse that my eldest William was WM but now I find that he was W C ( William C Green) So I'm sending his information and his fathers if you can update the information please. If you know any more info on this family I would love to have it,
Thanks,
Brenda Hester
