Hello
Thank you for replying. This is what I have in my records:
1860 Mississippi Tippah Southern Subdivision Pg. 29
Thomas Bounds 36, Mary 34, Isaac 14, William 13, Mary 9, Rutha 4, Martha 2. All born in Tennessee except William. With Rutha being four, this would put birth date at 1856.
1870 Putnam TN District 2 Pg 10
TB Bounds 47, Mary 45, William C 23, Mary 19, Rutha 14, Martha 11, Thomas B. 9, Elizabeth 6, James A. 3. All born in Tennessee except William, Thomas, and James. Rutha's age stays consistent with being born 1856.
1880 Putnam Tennessee District 3
Rutha Bounds not living with Thomas and Mary anymore.
1880 Madison Tennessee Pg. 91
Henry Green 30, Ruthy 24, Emma 10, Maggie 4, Lue 8/12.
1900 White County Tennessee 1st Civil District
Henrie Greene born Jun 1850 age 49, Rutha born May 1856 age 44, Maggie born Oct 1878 age 21 years, Franklin born Aug 1882 age 17 years, Scott born Feb 1884 age 16 years, William born Apr 1888 age 12 years, Mary born Jan 1890 age ten years, Josie born Oct 1891 age 8 years, Bessie born Jun 1895 age 4 years.
(It says that Rutha and Henry married 22 years. This would put marriage date about 1878. This would mean Emma who shows up in 1880 age 10 is not Rutha's and this may be second marriage for Henry.) It also says that Rutha is the mother to ten children and eight are living.
I also have census records for Henry and Ruth in 1910 and 1920. In 1930 Ruth is widowed.
Henry's death certificate (name listed as Hal C Green)shows parents as William Green and Amenda Wood. Born June 6, 1850 and died January 29, 1926. Buried Mt. Gilead Cemetery. Signed by son Frank. I have copy of original.
Certificate for Ruthie Green born 2 May 1856 Putnam Co. Tennessee and died 10 May 1940. Buried Mt. Gilead Cemetery. Signed by son Frank. Problem with certificate is says father is William Green (Henry's father) and Almeda Bonds (first name of Henry's mother). Frank did die five years later from dementia so maybe that played a role in mistake of listing of parents.
Henry and Ruth's son William on his S.S. application lists parents as Henry Green and Ruthie Bounds.
The only other Ruth Bounds I have found in census records is too old to be daughter of Thomas Bounds and Mary and is not the one married to my Henry.
Based on records, I think my Ruth Bounds that married Henry Green is the daughter of the above Thomas Bounds and Mary. I would welcome any comments.
Thank You
