GREEN, NELSON, ODLE

I am searching for information on my great grandmother's family. Dora Pearl GREEN b. 7 Aug 1895 in Tennessee. Parents were William GREEN and Etna (Etta?) Ann Nelson. She is buried by them in Red Boiling Springs, Macon, TN. Have info on her brothers and sisters but unable to trace parents. Was told that her father had been married previously and she had four half brothers. She married William Riley ODLE 1901 in Clay County. Married twice after that in either Clay or in Monroe County, KY to BOONE and WILLIAMS. Searching for info on these two husbands also.

I am doing some online research for someone who has ARMS/ARMES in our genealogy society, and is not online. Heres who she has: Archibald Arms/Armes b. 14 June 1786 in N.C. and d. 3 Mar 1863 in Overton Co., TN. He m. Sophia S. MARTIN 11 Mar 1810 by James CURMAN. Sophia d. 12 Oct 1874 in Clay Co., TN. Their children were: John b. 3 Mar 1811 Overton Co., TN Robert 13 Oct 1812 " William 29 Nov 1814 " Martin 16 Feb 1817 " Polly 2 Jan 1819 " Elizabeth 5 Feb 1820 " Niven "Evan" 25 Feb 1822 " Mariah 26 Mar 1824 " Sara "Sally" 11 Jul 1829 (cem) 1827 (bible) " Judith 5 Dec 1829 " Archibald Jr. 27 Jul 1831 " Do any of these look familiar? She is wanting to know the parents of Archibald & Sophia, and where born. In the census records and gravestone it only gives N.C.
