Hi Diane G The descendants of William George GREENTREE and Elizabeth Charlotte CROSS are also descendants of Henry GREENTREE and Jane POPE; Thomas WOODS and Sarah Mary STUBBS; (Thus William STUBBS and Sarah WINGATE); John CROSS and Mary DAVISON; and also Charles CROSS and Rose FLOOD - - John CROSS and Charles CROSS are not related!! This family is covered in several publications - some available from the Ebenezer Church. "CROSS Country, Family Register" (2003) - Page 209 "CROSS Country, The Douglass Direction" (2005) - Pages 167, 175+ "Cross - His Mark", (1987), by Lorraine Prothero on John CROSS "Hawkesbury Pioneer Register - Vol 1" (1994) - Page 74 And also there are the STUBBS books too. Did anyone ever do a book on the GREENTREE family? By the way, Diane, as Barrie is a descendant of Charles CROSS and Rose FLOOD, you are most welcome to join our Reunion next June at the Ebenezer Church. It is the last Sunday of June, and we will be celebrating the 220th anniversary of their arrival on the 'Neptune' in 1790.

My name is Diane. I am currently researching my husband (Barrie's) family on his father's side. I have been advised that on this list there could be researchers that have information on my GREENTREE line that maybe they are willing to share with us. This is some of the research I have done so far:- Barrie's Grandfather John Thomas GREENTREE was born 1874 Hawkesbury. John married Elizabeth HOE 1901 Penrith. Two children were born in NSW, Elsie GREENTREE 1901, & William GREENTREE 1903. Further children were born when the couple moved to Gisborne, New Zealand. Not sure when they came over and on what ship? John's father - William George GREENTREE, mother Elizabeth Charlotte CROSS. This is only a brief outline of what I have, and I would be extremely grateful if anyone on the list could contact me with any info they are prepared to share so I can fill in the gaps. I would also be prepared to share what I have.
