SARAH ANN BURKETT GREEN;
b. 1840
d. 1919
On 12 Jul 1855, David and Mary Ann Zumwalt Burket's youngest daughter Sarah Ann Burkett at age 14 and 21 year old Little Berry Green (1834-1900) from Bedford County, Tennessee were married by the Reverend Thomas J. Pilgrim.
Little Berry Green and Sarah Ann Burkett Green are buried in the Hochheim Cemetery beside her mother, Mary Ann Zumwalt Burkett. Sarah Ann Burkett and Little Berry Green had 11 children.

According to a granddaughter:
"grandmother [Sarah Ann Burket Green] was a fiery, pert young lady and known for her quick temper. She was pretty and very small. At the time of their marriage, she could stand on tiptoe under grandfather's outstretched arm without touching it. He could span his hands around her waist. She was always called 'Ann'."
On 15 Aug 1855, Sarah Ann's mother, widow Mary Ann Burkett, transferred the last 368 acres of the old Burket homestead on the Guadalupe River to Little Berry Green and daughter Sarah Ann Burkett (the author's 2nd great grandparents) for one dollar with the stipulation that they would not take possession until her death. Little Berry and Sarah Ann Burkett Green periodically lived on the property presumably with Mary Ann Zumwalt Burket until her death on 8 Mar 1887 and Little Berry, Sarah and family continued to live on the homestead from time to time until his death in 1900.
Little Berry and Sarah Ann Burkett Green, presumably at the Burkett, then Green homestead on the Guadalupe River near Hochheim on the Indianola-Austin Road from the coast, ran a ferry and stagecoach stop on the river at one time. Area legend was that a Mexican army pack train carrying payroll gold was driven into the river at that point by Indians and it was the object of periodic search by local residents. At one time during a low point after he had just returned to the poverty of the area caused by the Civil War, Little Berry with his head between his hands while seated on a stump on the river bank found a $20 gold piece lying in the mud, but nothing after that.
Little Berry Green was a skilled carpenter, wagonmaker and mason who served in the Civil War from 1861-1865. The Green family lived in Moulton, Concrete and Yoakum and sometimes leased out the farm at Hochheim. In 1876 Little Berry Green, James L. Crawford and J.A. Cunningham were named the first trustees of Hochheim School when land was donated by Rachael and John A. Crawford on 16 May. The Green homestead on the Guadalupe River was four miles from the school which the Green children attended when the family lived on the river. In 1976, the Green home or original parts of it about a mile from the Guadalupe River was still standing according to descendant and researcher Mina Mae Woodrome Giesler (now deceased) who visited the site.
