There are different records of dates of birth of Eliza Jane Howard Green; they are April 6, 1848 and April 6, 1850. Her tombstone shows April 11, 1850. In like manner, her tombstone shows date of death to be July 11, 1940; her death certificate shows July 14, 1941 as date of death.
George Levi (James) Green (Eliza Jane's husband) fought in the Civil War at age 16. He fought in the Battle of Chickamauga; he was at Chattanooga when the Union Army was surrounded and nearly starved to death; he fought in the Battle Above the Clouds; and he fought on Missionary Ridge.

After the honorable discharge in 1865 of Levi Green from the Union Army, where he served in the Kentucky Mounted Infantry, 30th Regiment, Company “G”, he stayed around Chattanooga. He went on steamboat to Meigs County and worked for William Howard. That was where he met Eliza Jane Howard.
