I don't know much ~ but here's what I do know: 1)Lewis Green, of the infamous bear mauling, was a surveyor for Daniel Boone. 2)Family lore says that either Stephen Farmer or his father was also a surveyor for Daniel Boone. 3)Lewis Green's great grandson, William Hogan Green, married Stephen Farmer's granddaughter, Elizabeth Farmer 4)Daniel Boone left Kentucky with a group of settlers, circa 1795 for Missouri 5)Stephen Farmer's son, David Farmer, took a group of settler's to Missouri circa 1804 6)Stephen Farmer's great grandson, Lewis C. Farmer, married into the Branson family in Kentucky in 1832....so the Branson family was already here.... 7)It is not a great stretch to think that some of the Green's and Branson's from Missouri were in Kentucky and went with David or with Daniel himself..... ____ William Hogan Green's Civil War pension application states that he had lived in the states of Kentucky, Arkansas and Texas....so it is possible that GREEN's from that area migrated when David went to Missouri, if not before with Daniel himself..... Perhaps it's my "active" imagination, but I think that all these peoples (and/or their families) knew each other in Kentucky and perhaps BEFORE coming to Kentucky.... Daniel Boone was here circa 1769 to 1795....Stephen got his first land grant here in 1794....Kentucky became a State in 1792.... Just my thoughts....do with them as you will...
