My great-great-great grandfather, (speaking of my grandfather now) William Greene was born in North Carlonina in 1764, and died in Greene Co. Ga in 1819. He was a SECOND cousin of General Nathanial Greene of the American Revolution. They both beind decended of the GREENE family, members of which came to England from France prior to 1353, at which time Sir Henry de Greene was Lord Chief Justice of England. Other ancestors down the family line were Robert Greene of Dillingham, Dorcetshire, 1545; Richard GREENE of Bouridge Hill; John Greene of Salisbury and JAMES GREENE of Warwick brn 1636, who was the great-great-great-grandfather of Gen. Nathanial Greene and of William Greene, father of the WILLIAM GREENE of this sketch. William Greene was named for his father, whose full name was George William Greene. His mothers name was Nancy, but her maiden name I do not know. I hope this helps. Katie
