Have you read Henry Greenfield Chambers' will? It is mentioned there that Green was his nephew & it gave me the impression that he was John's son. I am trying to find out the origin of the name Greenfield. It was shortened to Green, which was passed on to my gggrandfather & also to his son. It could have been a first name, last name, or the name of a nearby community in Colquitt Co.
