JOHN GREEN born about 1799( he may be oldest or younger then his brother Elisha) in TN/GA/VA His first wife was thought that her maiden name was Tipton. She died before 1840. In 1841 John m'd Susanna Linebaugh in Platte Co. TN. There is chance that they had children but not sure for John died before 1850. In 1 Aug 1847 there was Mrs. Susannah Green m'd Isaac Pearson and with them in 1850 census there were Green Children. Margaret, Lucreita, Benjamin and Joseph Green. John and his first wife did have children two son Isaac Tipton and Elisha and two daughters unknown. John had one know brother Elisha b May 15, 1801; died Jan 9,1855 who married Malinda Green. Malinda maiden was Green born Henrico Co. Va but were married in GA. In the Spring of 1826 Elisha move to Lexington, MO. By 1830 John Green had join him there. Coming with John or Elisha was their sister Sarah (Ann) they were three of 11 siblings. The Linebaugh family were from Greene Co. TN. John Green's Grandson John said that Elisha name was Elijah but the books on Platte Co. Mo say his name was Elisha Green. He purchased a wigwam of a Pottawatomie Indaian and settled in the Missouri bottoms, near Farly.. In 1844 he move to Platte City, and erected the hotel still known as GREEN HOUSE. In 1860 the Green House in Platte Co., MO sold by sheriff as the property of Beauchamp, Moore and Clifford... bought by Jonathan Tipton for $2,0031. The Green House was taken down in 1950's that is what I was told. John the grandson never know what his grandfather siblings names were and I don't either. Janet

With all this discussion on Thomas Green's and near the NC border, am wondering if perhaps more Thomas' might have descended and migrated into NC. Have traced my lineage to a Thomas Green, b. before 1726, d. abt. 1800, Duplin Co., NC. We have reviewed three other Green lines in NC (New Hanover [Anthony, Dr. Samuel], Craven [Furnifold] and Cowan [Jeremiah] Counties) but have been unable to link to any of those. My Thomas had children Lott, John, Temperance, Sarah, and Reubin. I came from the Lott clan. Here's hoping that some of this might produce a bit of information or an idea in response. Thanks for your consideration.

Supposedly I am related to a Daniel Greene, who was possibly a relative of General Nathaniel Greene. But, in checking the website dedicated to the General, I find that there are no Greene's descended because he daughtered out. But, my source says Penelope was a niece or grandniece of Nathaniel. I have not proven this and am struggling to find proof. Penelope Greene (father was Daniel Greene) was born in Hamilton County, FL in 1819 and married John G. Bell. They moved to Bellville, TX where they both are now buried. If you have any information connecting your Daniel Greene with your Daniel Greene, I would love to hear about it.

Newer versions of software cannot always support all the older releases of the same program. (Otherwise we wouldn't get as many cool new features!) One way around (assuming you'd rather not upgrade at this time) it is to see if your cousin can save the data to disk again in a format that's readable by your older program. If that won't work, your cousin can see if he/she has the ability to save the information in a more general format - a GEDCOM, perhaps? - that you can open in any program, regardless of version.
