Biography
Laura Green is a part of US Black heritage.
Laura Green was born in March 1840 into slavery in Arkansas. Her initial surname is uncertain
She was the mother of:
- Drayton
- Joseph
- John
- Dollie (Green) Sims (1875-aft.1920)[1]
On 1 June 1900 she was in Johnson Township, Sharp, Arkansas.[2]
On 15 April 1910 she was in Johnson, Sharp, Arkansas.[3][4]
She is reportedly buried at Conyers Cemetery in Sharp County. The Find a Grave biography section has "mother age 92 yrs." This may be an inscription, but no photo has been supplied. This would place her death date at about 1932, so a death certificate should be available.[5]
