Does anyone know of any Green families that went from the New England states into Maryland in the mid 1700's? Michelle

While you are on the descendants of William & Johanna Reeder Green and you come up with a name like Eleazer Green I have one question. Does anyone know anything my Eliazer Green [1825-aft1880] that married Leah Catharine Green daughter of Wiseman & Mary Glenn Green of Buncombe Co. NC. Wiseman is a descendant of William & Johanna. I'm interested in the parents of Eliazer Green. Eliazer, Wisman & their families moved to Dekalb Co. TN about 1868. Bob Wall rwall@wku.campuscw.net

I would like to know more about your Sarah Green who died in Holly Springs, Marshall Co MS.I thought sure I had found my ancestor, until I read on, and saw the wrong marriage. However, I 'm wondering if there could possibly be a connection to your Greens, since it seems they originated in the same area, and settled together in another. My Sarah Green, b 1782,was supposedly b in Johnston Co NC,( which lies between Wake and Wayne counties) She married Sanders Taylor in NC, and went to Perry Co MS prior to 1820, then to Holly Springs - Red Banks in Marshall Co. Records show that two of Sanders Taylor's siblings married Greens, but I have not been able to determine whether they were related to Sarah ! Any help you might offer will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, does anyone have any information on a TOBIAS GREEN probably from Wethersfield, CT area, late 1600's. He had a daughter, ELIZABETH GREEN b. 16__. Married EPHRAIM HOLLISTER, April 1, 1707. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone that might have anything on this family. Thank-you, Allene Trowbridge Hintz

Hi Ron, No, I have not been on the list for about 8 months. So don't know what has been going on. I have my Jeremiah going back to your William and Joanna Reeder, but I do not have any proof, only what I have picked up from others on the list. I have nothing on Rebecca Jane Hunter and would love to have her family if you don't mind sending that. For some reason my computer has Jeremiah linked with two wifes and I do show that Catherine was his wife. I need to find out why is it showing the other wife sometimes Thanks, LaNelda Gordon RGreene431@aol.com wrote: > Hi LaNelda: > > Were you part of the discussion regarding Jeremiah Greene & Rebecca Jane > Hunter that occurred here a couple of months ago?

"Forgive me, Brother Mark, but copying other copies by hand allows many chances for error. How do we know we aren't copying someone else's mistakes? Are they ever checked against the originals?" Brother Mark was startled! No one had ever suggested that before. "Well, that is a good point, my son. I will take one of these latest books down to the vault and study it against its original document." He went deep into the vault where no one else was allowed to enter and started to study. The day passed and it was getting late in the evening. The monks were getting worried about Brother Mark. Finally, the new monk started making his way through the old vault and after he searched for a while, he heard sobbing. "Brother Mark?" he called. The sobbing was louder as he came nearer. He finally found the old monk sitting at a table with both the new copy and the original ancient book in front of him. It was obvious that Brother Mark had been crying for a long time. "What is the matter?" asked the concerned new monk. "Oh, my Lord," sobbed Brother Mark, "the word is 'CELEBRATE' !!" So, Check the Original documents has another twist! 8-)

Does anyone have any information on the ancestors of Richard Lawrence Greene (1835-1895), E. A. Green (b abt 1837), John P. Green (b. abt 1839), Celia Green (b. abt 1843) or Julia Green (b abt 1846) in Nash or Edgecombe Counties, North Carolina? I believe the father was R. L. Green, but have not been able to find any evidence. Richard Lawrence married Martha Ann Williams. They had 3 children: Arma Della, William Lonnie and George W. Arma Married William Arter Viverette. George (1886-1908) married Lucy Ann Viverette. William Lonnie (1860-1894) married Blessing Jackson Viverette (1860-1944). William and Blessing had 8 children: Mary Etta, Martha Ella, Maggie Emma, Minne Eva, Richard Lawrence, Mittie Effie and William Lonnie. Thanks Robert L. Greene

The name "Eleazer" (or spelling variant) was not as uncommon back then as it is today. I have several Eleazer's in the different lines I am researching. So, a first name we think is uncommon today may not have been all that uncommon years ago. Thanks, LuAnn -----Original Message----- From: George L.

I have just gotten a good lesson in documenting sources correctly. A direct male ancestor, Eleaser Greene, was from Bethlehem, (Litchfield), CT. Our family genealogist (from a previous generation) noted that he fought in the Revolutionary War as a private in Col. Nathan Chapman's Militia. I looked up Eleazer Green of Bethlehem, CT in the listing of Rev. War Pension Applications, and sent away for a copy. It turned out to be a fascinating account of his service, and sure enough, at one time he served with Col. Chapman. However, his birth and death dates and wife's name were not what I had in my records. After consulting the Barbour records, it turned out that there were 2 Eleazer Green(e)s in the little town of Bethlehem. One married Lucy Brace, and my ancestor married Thankful Spencer. Now, one wouldn't expect to find 2 people with the same uncommon name in the same small town, but there it was. Our family tradition says that Eleazer put the final "e" on Green because he admired General Nat Greene. However, I now susspect it was for a more practical reason - to differentiate himself from the other Eleazer. I also not that his name is given as both "Eleaser" and "Eleazer." The other chap is noted as "Elezur 2nd" in the Barbour records, so it looks as if both had problems of people confusing them with one another. As others have noted, one has to gather all the available evidence in order to obtain a clear picture of reality. George L.
