  • Interview with a half-sister Elsie Tisdale, in Phoenix about 1970 when she was there because of the death of another sister, Melinda (Minnie) May Green Shaw. Unfortunately, I was mostly interested in Henry Lynville Puckett-638 and I don't seem to have collected a lot of information for this family.

Looking at the 1900 census, it appears that all of the sisters listed can be tentatively identified from the census--although there are differences in some names and birthdates.

All of her so called sisters were not biological sisters. The girls were farmed out to relatives and friends when they were very young, and brought up in households with daughters of their own. So they regarded each other as sisters.

Green is safe. Her father added the final "e" to Greene, probably as a pen name for his reminiscences of the Civil War. I don't know if a birth certificate for Elma existed.
