Second wife of Charles Greene.

Melinda would have had my U5b2b2/G228A mitochondrial haplotype.

Melinda "Minnie" Puckett was born in Indiana, Tipton as I recall. She married Charles Green in Crawford County, Wisconsin where they both lived the rest of their lives. While there is a Crawford County in Indiana, that is not where she was from. Her brother Cornelius was also born in Tipton, Indiana.

Mysterious death; no record. By the 1905 Wisconsin census, all her children had been scattered to live with relatives.
