Robert T. Green and Fanny Marie Bray were the parents of Francis Edward “Dusty” Green, Willard Davis “Will” Green, John Maxwell “Jack” Green and George Green. This is Fanny Marie Bray’s photo. The photo was taken in Jewell City, Kansas. Her brother, John Wesley Bray, lived in Jewell City, Kansas. He was there in the 1880 Census. She was probably visiting him when the picture was taken. I “guesstimate” her age to be about 38. If this is correct, the photo was taken in 1878.

Headstone and view of cemetery for Fanny Marie Bray/Green/Rockwell. Cemetery is across the street from the Kings Veterans Home, King, Wisconson. On right, tombstone is in the middle of the cemetery.

This is a photo of two brothers of Francis Edward Green. The shorter one to the left is Willard Davis Green and to the right is John Maxwell Green. Willard Davis Green was born 31 MAY 1861 and he seems to be about 55 years old, so the picture was taken about 1915.

Willard Davis "Will" Green (31 MAY 1860 to 16 JAN 1946). Ollie Mae Ures (Birth: DEC 1880). Photo taken about 1928.

Photo of David Davis, Jr., (1792 to 1864). He was a veteran of the War of 1812 and the great-grandfather of Francis Edward “Dusty” Green, Willard Davis “Will” Green, John Maxwell “Jack” Green and George Green. This photo does not appear to be a tintype (1856 to 1940s), a negative affixed to iron coated with black lacquer. It neither appears to be an ambrotype (1850 to 1890s), a thin glass negative viewed against a black background. It actually appears to be an early wet collodion print (1851 to 1889s), a process in which a glass negative is used to make one or more prints on albumen paper. I “guesstimate” his age to be 60, which means that the photo was taken in 1852, a very early ambrotype. He died 12 years after this photo was taken, in 1864.

Maxwell Bray (1811 to 1874). Maxwell Bray was the grandfather of Francis Edward “Dusty” Green, Willard David “Will” Green, John Maxwell “Jack”Green and George Green. The photo was probably taken in his late fifties. I “guesstimate” his age to be 59, so it would have been taken in 1870. He died at age 63 in 1874.

Wedding photo of John Frank Kowalski and Martha Ann Green on June 14, 1934. Martha was the daughter of Willard Davis “Will” Green and Willard Davis Green was brother of Francis Edward “Dusty” Green, John Maxwell “Jack” Green and George Green. Martha was a first cousin of my grandmother Elsie Elnora Green Self.
