Hi Lynn, The Greene family reunion notes were written by later generations but are amazingly accurate about the families of thirteen of the children. Henry Jonah also moved to AL yet his information was recorded accurately. I recall that a few years ago, Mac Caldwell found a wealth of Greene information in the bottom of a trunk. I do not recall if he ever sorted through that info or shared it with others. Maybe the answer to this Rebecca problem can be found in that info. Do you know what has happened to that trove? Arthur
Hi Arthur, I remembered that you weren't completely comfortable with this being John and Nancy's Rebecca. I have gone back and forth a couple of times, but now believe that she was their daughter. The Greene family notes appear to be written by third generation family so a lot was written from memory. The only other cemetery record for a Rebecca Greene in Pike is Hartford's daughter who died in 1901. Her birth year (1823) is right for Rebecca. Her oldest daughter is named Alethea - the same name as one of her sisters, and she has a son named Henry - the same as her brother. She and Frederick moved to Randolph County, Alabama as did her brother Henry Jonah Green. Kent Jones, who originally asked for the information, is sending me his research from Alabama. Maybe his work will shed some light on our questions. It's good to hear from you.

Hi Lynn, The marriage of John and Nancy's Rebecca to Frederick Kent is uncertain in my mind. True, there is a marriage record in Pike County that would seem to indicate the validity of this marriage and Ouida Hamil White does so state in her contribution to "The History of Jones County". For many years I included this union in my John Greene record. Several years ago, I had correspondence with another man who claimed that Frederick Kent's wife was Rebecca Grun not Rebecca Green and he asserted that the written Grun in the marriage record was misinterpreted as Green. Subsequent to that, I had correspondence with a lady who had been to Frederick Kent's grave and had also seen the tombstone for his wife. She confirmed that Frederick definitely married a Green. At this point I felt quite comfortable with adding the Green/Kent union to the John Greene record. However, about this same time you forwarded the Greene reunion notes to me. In those notes, the list of John and Nancy's children and who they married was very accurately recorded. Those notes stated that their daughter Rebecca died as a young woman and no spouse was recorded. The tombstone inscription for Frederick Kent's wife Rebecca, indicates that she did not die as a young woman. (I do not recall the names of the other researchers that I corresponded with on this problem, but I probably have them somewhere in a file and will try to find them if you are interested in contacting them). Because of the accuracy of the other information in the Greene notes, I removed the Rebecca Greene/Frederick Kent union from my John Greene record. If you have some additional record to indicate that John's Rebecca did indeed marry Frederick Kent, I would greatly appreciate you sharing it with me. Have you ever seen a cemetery record for a Rebecca Green/Greene in Pike County (or vicinity) that would be appropriate for John's Rebecca? Let me know your thoughts on this problem. It greatly interests me. Your cousin, Arthur Lewis
I would be interested in any new information that is not shown. Alethea I. Kent is connected on my Marshall lines. Larry Childs

His wife, Laodicy (Ladicy) Davis is not buried with him; she died and is buried in Jones Co., GA, site unknown. I am guessing that you descend from Nancy Alford & Isaac Wright?
