James Green (1787-1869)

This photograph turned up only recently, stored among old and unrelated papers belonging to Helen Emerick Pearce. Fortunately, *someone* had the foresight to write very informative notes on the back.

Thank You to Mary Pearce for passing these scans along to me.

The photo is identified as James Green – the Great-great grandfather of Edward Pearce, Crane, Texas. In other words, this is the father of Elizabeth Green, wife of Major Baker, Jr.

Previous attempts to learn the names of Elizabeth Green’s parents were all unsuccessful, but with this one new clue it should be possible to (eventually) reconstruct this family. A quick check of some basic records made so far match perfectly with names and dates written on the back of the photo.
