Documentation:
* Dates taken from tombstones in Holly Springs Cemetery and Leek/Drake Cemetery.
* Family Bibles.

Notes:
* Bolin Green married twice. First wife, Nancy E. Tidwell, was his stepsister. His father, James N. Bailey, married second wife, Mary E. Tidwell around 1876/77 in Lincoln County, Bolin Green married Nancy shortly after that. In the early 1890's Nancy may have become ill. Family history states that B.G. went to Hot Springs purchased land, but came back, and never sold the land. Nancy died in 1896, but before she died, she was reported to have said that Bolin Green would marry the woman that he had been seeing in the general store in Garnett. Within the year he had married Melissa Burns. A young woman, only 3 years older than his own oldest son. The marriage caused a rif in the family that was never healed. Anyway, speculation was that Nancy and B.G. had gone to Hot Springs because Nancy had been ill, but returned to Lincoln County when she did not become better. This is just reported family history, not confirmed. Still looking for a death record for Nancy. Also looking for birth record for Bolin Green in Alabama.
