[ from Linda Corbin Cousins ]
Ben,
On Daniel Green's death certificate it states the father is Joseph G. Bowen. My mother said his name was Joseph Green Bowen when she was living.
I would assume that Joseph Green and Jane Gregory married about 1898-1899. Pinkie Bell Bowen , Daniel Green's sister was born September 13,1899 in Lavaca County ,Texas. Pinkie Bell married Jesse Ray Applin in Milam County Texas.Their children were: Jesse Ray Applin Jr Lawrence R. "Buddy" Applin Florence Applin ..she was a twin to LawrenceDaniel Green Bowen was born June 20,1902, in Lavaca County, Texas. He died April 6,1937 in Bucholtz,Texas of Bilateral Lobar Pneumonia. He is Buried in Lilac Cemetery near Davilla,Texas. (When I visited there I found no grave marker for him but I believe that Jane Gregory is buried there also as well as maybe Joseph Green Bowen. I have a death certificate of him that says his parents were Joseph Green Bowen and Jane M.Gregory. I may have a 1910 census card on them from Lavaca Cty, Tx.
I have never heard of Joseph Green having another wife.
I can remember Jane Gregory Bowen from when I was a small child.Daniel Green Bowen married Lillie Mae Davis in Milam County ,Texas on August 21,1920. They
had three children ( all living )
Third child of Joseph Green and Jane Gregory is Robert Leroy "Slim" Bowen born 1909-1910 ..died January 28,1979 in Cameron,Texas...buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Cameron ,Texas.(If I remember correctly he was a truck driver) Married Omie Bellamy...their
children were:
David Bowen (first name may be Gerald) adopted by Robert Leroy
Larry Bowen adopted by Robert Leroy
Linda Bowen adopted by Robert Leroy
Patricia Bowen adopted by Robert Leroy
Janice Bowen biological child

Greg Miller
GMiller@hanover-co.comI am a decendent of Green Bowen. On your site you have Green Bowen Jr.'s first wife's name as being Elmyra (Miller) (Nolen?)(THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED ). On the 1900 census Green Bowen is listed with a Nolan family, and that he is the son-in-law to the head of the household. His wife (Jane Ellen Gregory) is listed above him as Ellan Nolan. I would imagine that is where the Nolen name comes from, so it doesn't belong to his first wife. That is the first time I've seen her name as Miller. On the Rootsweb site in the world connect section, database kkkeener has that Green Bowen married Elmira Pollan, this is the source they list:
Title: Marriage Records of Elmira Pollan & Green Bowen
Publication: Lavaca County Court House, Record 230 ,
Note: ABBR Marriage Records of Elmira Pollan & Green BowenThe Pollan line seems to be very well known. Could you let me know where you got your information on this family from, so I can make a determination as to which to follow.
Thanks,
Greg Miller
GMiller@hanover-co.comBy the way my line is : Green Bowen > Green > Jasper > Cecil > Martha > Zhanell Yackel
Hello Ben,
According to my Grandmother Jasper's middle name was Green. The middle name Green is the only way I was able to find anything on him. When I seen a Green Bowen on the 1900 census I checked it out and there was a Jasper the right age. This is what I found on the 1900 Lavaca County
Census, Vol. 71. ED 92, Sheet 11, Line 64:
Name Relationship Birth
Nolan ?T.M? Widower June 1884
Nolan David H Son Feb. 1885
Nolan Elisa N Daughter Feb. 1875
Nolan Ellen Daughter Jan. 1873
Bowen Green Son-in-Law Feb. 1865
Bowen Pinkey Grandaughter Sep. 1899
Bowen Stella Grandaughter Feb. 1891
Bowen ?Chiley?Grandaughter Jan. 1888
Bowen Simon Grandson Feb. 1887
Bowen Jasper Grandson March 1886
Bowen Robert Grandson April 1884
Green Bowen's age is obviously wrong. ( editors Note birthdate should be 1856, date was probably transposed by censustaker)
?Chiley? must be the Charley you have listed on your site, but they were listed as a female, and the Grandaughter of the head of the household. I have no information that helps in proving if Jane Matilda Gregory is the same person as Ellen Nolan.
Except for this: ( I believe they are the same person, but I would like some more concrete proof. )http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=pasher&id=I289
This site is Pat Asher's Gedcom on Rootsweb.com. It lists Jane Matilda Gregory's Mother as being Susan Matilda Rose. It shows that she was married three times:
A. Jackson Lowe
Daniel R. Gregory
D. H. Nolen
If this is correct then it proves a lot. I contacted Pat a few weeks ago, this is her response:
Hi,
I'm sorry, but I do not have any other information. Most information on this branch of the family came from a book called Our Ancestors, (The Sharrock Family), self published by Homer Eiler in 1928. The book was widely distributed and appears in many public and genealogical libraries across the country. Sorry I can't be of more help.
