Biography

Elias Green was born 28 June 1817 in North Carolina, son of John Green and Rebecca Rose, ^[1]

In 1850 Elias was living in Virginia as Elias Green 33 (both parents born in North Carolina) with wife Sarah Green 22, and children John Green 2 and Nancy Green 1, born in Virginia. ^[2]

In 1860 Elias and Sarah are still in Virginia with children John, Nancy and 4 younger. ^[3]

By 1870 Elias and his family had relocated to Warrick County, Indiana (near the Ohio RIver) with additional children Daniel Green 17, William Green 15, Janes (sic) Green 13, Elihue Green 8, Mary Green 4, and an unknown Elizabeth Green 70 (who is said to be 'mother", perhaps of wife with wrong surname) ^[4]

In 1880 Elias is mysteriously found in the census in Manannah, Meeker, Minnesota with wife and 4 youngest children (Elias Green 62, Sarah Green 53, William Green 22, James Green 20, Elihue Green19, Mary Green14). ^[5]

In 1900 Elias Green was back in Warrick, Indiana, age 82, with wife Sarah Green 73 (married in 1847), and grown children James M Green 43, Elihu Green 38 and granddaughter Daisy Green 14. ^[6]

Elias Green died on 28 Apr 1906, at age 88 in Chandler, Indiana (Chandler is a town straddling Ohio and Boon Townships in Warrick County, Indiana just east of Evansville, Indiana along the Ohio River.) Wm Green, Evansville, Indiana was the informant for the death certificate which lists Elias as a widower of Sarah Green, with parents John Green and Rebeke Rose, He was to be buried in Center Cemetery, Boonville, Indiana.
