Note: All oral history states that Ethel was a Schoolfield. J.W. Green states that his parents were Granger Green and Ethel Schoolfied. It is not known that Ethel was married before her marriage to Granger. However this marriage license states that Ethel was a Lebo. The Geo. Jennings who was a witness to the marriage license was the husband of Ethel's sister Georgia Schoolfield.
