Caleb Pinkney Green Sr. was born near Greenville South Carolina, in 1817.
He married Nancy Bryant, Georgia, and settled in Deklab County, Alabama.
In the early 1850's the Green family moved to Walker County Alabama, became
successful farmers, owning 1200 acres of farmland, and owning and operating a
distillery. The Civil War brought an end to their tranquil existence in
Alabama and set brother against brother, as two of his sons fought for the South
and one for the North.
The family came to Navarro
County, Texas in 1868 and settled in or near the
Raleigh Community at the west end of Navarro County. Caleb Pinkney
stayed in Navarro County only a short while, moving south to the Hempstead area
for a short time. He died in 1872. He was a member of the Masons and
the Odd Fellows. One of his sons, Caleb, Jr. remained in Navarro County.
Caleb Jr. was born in Walker County, AL on June 22, 1862. He married Molly
Othella Williams, Daughter of Henry
Thomas and Martha Jane (Thomas / Lindsey) Williams, who was only 12 at the
time. They settled in the Emmett
Community and purchased a farm which is
now located on Farm Road 744, one mile east of Emmett. Caleb Jr. farmed
and owned a grocery store in Emmett.
In 1913 the Green family was building a new home on the Green farmland.
Caleb Pinkney, Jr. got a bad case of the hiccups and died, never living to see
the new home completed. Molly lived with her son Charlie and wife Ila
until she died in 1943. C. P. and Mollie are buried in the
Prairie Grove Cemetery in Emmett, Navarro Co., TX as are her parents, Henry
and Martha Williams, two brothers and many of her descendents. Many of her
children and descendents are also buried at the
Frost Cemetery.

RECORDS
Mollie Othella Green
Sister Mollie Ottella Green was born January 5, 1869. She
was married to Kale Green September 27, 1879. He preceded her in death many
years ago. To this union were born twelve children eleven of whom are living,
Ben, Ike, and Mrs. Martha Young all of Frost, Sam and Charles of Emmett, Tom of
Redbud, Mrs. Sudell Webb of Corsicana, Mrs. Anna
Hollaway Corsicana, Mrs. Alice Strickland, Dallas and Mrs. Clara Toten, Dawson.
Sister Green professed faith in Christ at an early age
probably about fourteen years of age and united with the Missionary Baptist
Church. Sister Green departed this life December 30,1943. She was laid to rest
January 1, in the Emmett Cemetery.
She had a wonderful faith in God and said in her affliction
that Jesus was coming to take her home. She loved her church, home and children.
Her great desire that all her children meet her in Heaven.
Great are the memories of a good Christian woman like
Sister Green who has gone to be with our Savior to await the morning of the
Resurrection. We recommend a copy be spread on church records, a copy be sent to
the family and a copy be sent to the Baptist Progress.
