Notes for Clarinda Barnett: The overall picture of the Barnett family found in Illinois in 1860 matches the characteristics of Clarinda and Susan Barnett who married Jackson and Jacob Green in Indian Territory. One discrepancy occurs, which is similar to common errors in censuses. The birth state of Clarinda and Susan in the 1860 census with the Barnett family reports their birth state to be Tennessee. In later censuses information for her sons Taylor (James Taylor) and Joe (Toliver Jorile) report the birth state of their mother of Clarinda Illinois.
In 1910 Taylor's mother's birth state is reported as Unknown In 1920 it is Illinois
In 1910 Joe's mother (should be the same as Taylor's) is reported as born in Alabama. In 1920 it is Illinois.
From the 1860 Illinois census, we know the family had Illinois connections and one group of children of the name Gibson are with the Barnett family in that census. So there is an Illinois connection. This seems then a minor discrepancy, one that by now we expect to find in census entries. We must keep in mind that in that era objective details and a focus on information were not a part of the culture as it became in the course of the 20th century. We are detail oriented now. We like closure on every possible item of information. That was just not the way they lived back then.
Children of Clarinda Barnett and Jackson Green are:
