1880 Census

Document from www.familysearch.org,
Latter Day Saints website

The Latter Days Saints website provides more information about Albert S. Green. As of 1880, he lived in Leeds, Murray County, Minnesota with a wife and two daughters. His profession was categorized as farmer, not carpenter. This new information may place Albert S. Green's life in the historical context of nineteenth century westward migration, but more research is needed regarding his circumstances in Leeds, Minnesota to verify this thought.

Document from www.itd.nps.gov/cwss/

The NPS's Civil War Soldiers and Sailors document likely contains a transcription error. Albert Green of the 77th regiment was identified as Albert I. Green, not Albert S. Green. How do we then know that this record is for Albert S. Green of the 77th Saratoga Springs regiment? The military history included shows that Albert "I." Green went in as a sergeant and left the war as a private. Does this story sound familiar?

With the information provided by www.familysearch.org, how might you revise your essay on A. S. Green or the website author's essay? What would make a good title for your essay?
