A researcher has suggested that the Sarah J. Greene listed here, daughter of Joseph and Catherine, married Frank Knipp. Not sure if this is correct, but is possible.
Joseph Green was born in Cocke County on 11 May 1839 and died at the age of 80, widowed, on 5 December 1919 of “Kidney and Bladder trouble-old age” in Mosheim, Greene County. Informant, T.M. Jarrell did not know his parent’s name (Death certificate # 410) Joseph is with his family in 1860. Joseph may have married twice. The 1870 Greene County census, household #35, lists Joseph Greene 31 (farmer) Agnes 29, and Sarah. J. 1. I have not found a marriage for Joseph and Agnes. Joseph married Catharine Bacon in Green County on 22 December 1878 (Tennessee state marriage index page 483) The 1880 Green County census, district 5, shows Joseph Greene 42, Catherine 40, Sarah J. 11, Agnes 5 months, and says “son Cobble” 13. The 1900 Green County census, district 5, page 5B, family #98 shows Joseph Green 61 (farmer-married 20 years) Catherine 62 (b. March 1838-TN) and Agnes 19 (b. December 1880-TN) Joseph Green of Company C, 8th Tennessee filed for a pension on 25 June 1892 and 21 May 1909
