Marietta Jane or Mary Jane GREEN is my maternal great great grandmother.
Marietta Jane Green never married. "Family History" says Jane was sent to help move family belongings with two men, ANDREW WATKINS and JOHN PARRISH. One of these two is the father of George Green but is not necessarily the father of her other children.
Mrs. Mary Buchanan Coffey, a direct descendant of GEORGE GREEN, has a postcard to George dated January 1914. It stated to "come at once" and that his mother was very sick with a cancer of the breast. (Thus the DOD.) This postcard was sent from Swain County, NC. SOURCE: Mary Coffey MBCOFFEY @ InfoAve.Net removed spaces to e-mail
GEORGE GREEN lived with the WATKINS some as he was growing up. He was living with them at the age of 3 years in 1880 Charlestown (now Bryson City), Swain Co, NC Federal Census with his mother as "Servant".
The Watkins had two other children that we know of:
Andrew WATKINS who later lived in California but is buried in Swain Co, NC.
Elvira WATKINS who married Will Monteith - issue: May Monteith, Pearl Monteith
ANDREW WATKINS b. Oct. 1842, d. Sept 7, 1918, his wife SARAH MELVINA "Sally" WIGGINS WATKINS b. June 03, 1840 Macon Co, NC, d. May 22, 1914, are buried in the Randall Cemetery, Swain County, NC. Listed in the Fontana Dam Project. From Bryson City, take S.R. 1333 (Toot Hollow Rd.) two and 1/10 miles. The cemetery is on the left of the road. Easy to find, it is right beside the road.
JOHN PARRISH lived on Conley's Creek, Swain County, NC.
"Family History" says Jane was 14 when she had George, but the dates do not agree. Jane was born in 1845, George Green was born in 1879. Also Jane had other children before George.
Jane is supposed to be buried in Swain County, NC. But I have not found a death certificate or gravemarker. Delayed birth certificate for George Green in Swain County, NC gives Jane as mother, born in Rutherford County, NC in 1845.
JANE GREEN is on the 1850 Census is in Rutherford County, North Carolina.
Henderson County, NC, was formed in 1838 from Buncombe County, NC.
Her father was William Green (died in the War between the States). Family
History says he died at Strawberry Plains, Tennessee. William
Green in the 16th Regiment from Jackson County, NC was the correct age
An Employee at the Cemetery told me that his records show he was discharged from Hospital and died before he could leave. Also that William was buried where those broken markers are. The rest of the living men were .
Family History says her mother was named Katherine (Catherine)
Rodgers. My grandmother referred to her as Kate. ) Katherine remarried
Isaac Taylor Sims Sherrill (ref. Swain County marriage records, married
Jan. 12, 1880). Jane did have brothers Jesse N. Green, Pinkney Green and
Zachariah Taylor Green. (Looks like her son George Zackery Taylor Green
was named after his uncle).
William Green and family are on the 1860 Census for Jackson County, NC.
Jesse N. Green fought in a regiment from Jackson County, NC.
Marietta Green is listed on the 1900 Census for Haywood County, North Carolina with J. T. Kilby and wife Laura (Green) Kilby. Lists her as born in 1854 (probably incorrect). Interestingly it gives Jane as a widow, with 11 living children!?? We only know of 5 for sure. The Kilby's are living next door to William Taylor Wilson and Martha Rachel Wilson, brother and sister. Martha Rachel Ann Wilson married George Zachery Taylor Green, son of Jane Green, and brother of Laura Green Kilby. This is our Marietta Jane Green.
JANE GREEN was forced to name the father of her children in court:
Jackson County, NC -- April 1866 -- Bastardy Bonds
Jane Green vs. W. P. Hyde (William Pendleton 'Penn' Hyde)
SOURCE: URL: http://www.shahall.com/bonds.html
Swain County, NC -- October 16, 1871 -- Bastardy Bonds
Marthy Jane Green vs. A. C. Wiggins (Andrew C. Wiggins b:25 APR 1844 Macon Co), Andrew Watkins
SOURCE: Another researcher via e-mail
NOTE: Bastardy Bonds were devised to protect the counties of North Carolina from being responsible for the support of illegitimate children. Warrants were issued to unmarried mothers to appear in court to be questioned and asked the name of the child's father. The named father was also brought to court and required to post a bond. If the woman refused to name the father, she was responsible for posting the bond. If she refused to post bond or name the father, she would be sent to jail. Recording of Bastardy Bonds can be found in county court minutes.
Update Aug. 26, 2021
1) William Thomas Green s/o Wm Pendleton Hyde
2) George Zachery Taylor Green and (3)Eliza Jane Green
were father by Andy Watkins
4)Mary Julieta Green was fathered by Andy Wiggins
5) Laura Ann Jones was fathered by Joseph Jones
Laura Green Kilby and her 4 children lived with Joseph Jones on the 1920 census.
I could not find marriage data for Marietta with any of the four men.
Marietta was the sister of my Great-Grandfather Zachary Taylor Green and
her life was openly discussed with my Grandfather and his kids.
