Biography

History of Arkansas - Hempstead County

His father was born in 1815, and was a son of James Kitchens, of Scotch and English descent, and is still living at the advanced age of seventy-four years. He moved from his native State about 1848, to Louisiana, and made his home in Union Parish, that State, for two years, and then came to Lafayette County, Ark., and took up his residence, but in 1874 he disposed of his interests here and moved to Indian Territory, and is now a resident of Kully Chaha, Choctaw Nation, about two miles from the Arkansas line. His wife formerly Miss Matilda Hill, a daughter of -------- and Polly Hill, natives of South Carolina, born in 1825, is still living, and both she and her husband are members of the Free-Will Baptist Church. They were the parents of nine children, seven of whom survive, viz.: Green (the subject of this sketch), John W. (a farmer and Methodist Episcopal minister, of Texas), Mary J. (the wife of Mason P. Sewell, of Lafayette County, Ark.), William J. (a farmer of Indian Territory, (the latter two twins), and Henry Newton (also a farmer of Indian Territory). The twin to Green died in infancy.
