Notes for Susan A Barnett: According to the 1900 and 1910 censuses, Susan's father was born in Mississippi, and her mother in Georgia.

The 1870 census of her family (before she was born) indicates Susan's father John was born in Georgia, not Mississippi. Barnett family genealogies I found in December 2007 also indicate he was born in Georgia.
Two persons matching several facts about Susan's sons Pink and Thomas are reported to have a mother whose maiden name is Barnett. Jacob's brother Jackson also married a woman named Barnett, Clarinda.
Since two brothers married women named Barnett, it seemed likely that Clarinda and Susan were sisters. In January 2008, together with Barnett researcher Susan Ball, I determined this is not the case. The separate Barnett families migrated into Oklahoma from different Eastern origins and by different routes. Susan informed me that Jacob and Susan married in Cooke County, Texas, which makes sense from the Green family residence in 1860. Several members of the Green and related Jackson families moved into Indian Territory.
In the 1900 census, the first report of Susan with her husband Jacob Green, in Cherokee Nation, reports her birth date as Aug 1858. In the Green family, we have only Clarinda's name. The family did not know the name of Jacob's wife. I found this in public records. Susan Ball reported to me the marriage date and place for Susan and Jacob. She cites the marriage records she discovered in Cooke County Texas, which says they were married 12 July 1883. I have found no record on the Barnetts or the Greens in 1880. It seems likely they had already moved into Indian Territory, where no censuses and few public records were kept until the 1900 census of the Indian Nations. That is when we find Susan and Jacob up in the western area of the Territory in Cherokee Nation. Other Green family members disappear in this period, and we know most of the family moved to Indian Territory. Likewise the related Jacksons. We know from other sources that Susan's family were in Love County later. Love County is a small county just north of Gainesville in Cooke County, Texas. It seems likely that they were in Indian Territory, and went back to Jacob's home are there to get their marriage license and get married, then returned to their home in Love County. They would have moved to Cherokee Nation between the time of their marriage in 1883 and the 1900 census. Susan died some time after 1910. I have not found her or Jacob in any census or other public document after the 1910 census. I have likewise not found any official death information or cemetery entries matching them in either Muskogee or Love County, Oklahoma. Some of Jacob and Susan's children moved to California, but I have likewise found no trace of them out there with the children.
