In the "History of Levi Greene" by Mary Shaw Green, Miss Shaw states that Levi Greene owned 100 acres in the Huntersland Patent in Middleburgh, NY, ca. Dec. 16, 1797. Can someone enlighten me about the Huntersland Patent and where I would find these deeds of Middleburgh, NY? Please reply to MFinn90885@aol.com

Still searching for my gg grandfather Henry Green born abt 1789. From a note my gg grand mother wrote it say's that Henry separated him self from his family over trouble with some land. He then moved to Black River N Y and went to work in the lumber trade around the years 1833&34. He then married and moved to Ontario Canada. Henry was also a vetern of the war of 1812, he was a union soldier. Would like to hear from anyone with a Henry Green who may have beenin this area. Thanks in advance. Barb

Sir Thomas Green/es father was Sir Robert Green of Bobbing Kent married Francis Darrel of Scotney. Sir Robert Green/es father was Sir Thomas Norton alias Green/e married Alice Heveningham Sir Thomas was the Illegitament son of Sir John Norton of Northwood in Kent who married Joan Northwood( His father recognized him ) Sir John Nortons father was Sir Reginald Norton of Lee's Court in Sheldwich Kent married Katherine Driland of Cooksditch in Faversham Kent. Sir Reginald Nortons father was William Norton of Faversham Kent married Elizabeth Hussey of Chilstone. William Norton's father was John Norton of Lees Court called Sheldwich. Lees Court was brought into his marrige by his wife Lucy At Leeze. It gets fuzzy from here. John Nortons father was another John Norton. This John Nortons GGG??Grand father was Nicholas de Norton who lived during the reign of King Stephen 1135-1154. Thats it for now Im still researching. Chip Greene (Melvin R. Greene III) >> Hi Chip, We have probably discussed this possibility before, but do you think that the Norton family you show above was some how connected to the family of Sir Henry Greene who purchased The "Davie's Norton" estate in 1353 and renamed it "Green's Norton" estate. The Norton estate was on the Doomsday rolls, so it existed prior to William the Conqueror coming in 1066. Since people did not use last names until this period, I wonder if there is some connection?? What do you think? Tom Green

In a message dated 99-01-28 09:47:15 EST, you write: << You mentioned a William Keith ? As I may have told you ? The other project I work on in Pa. is the restoration of "Sir William Kieth's" summer residence in Horsham, Pa. This home was built in 1722 as the Deputy Gov.'s summer home. At this site there was 1200 acres, but, I am sure he owned many others. I believe the William you mention ? may be related some how. Probably a confiscated "Loyalist" property. >> Hi Dave, The Keith House is where Gen. Washington quartered for several weeks in the winter of 1776 before crossing the Deleware River to attack Trenton Christmas night. The Keith House was located at the southern foot of Jericho Mountain in Upper Makefield Township. This ridge of mountains apparently had the name of Jericho when William Penn first came to America, and the area obviously had a Bibical connection, and a poem was written about the area by Albert E. Slack in 1938. Twas up among the farmers, In the land of Jericho; Here once came Father Washington Bowed down with care and woe. He brought us down to Trenton In time for Christmas lunch, And with some Poles and Irish We surely "beat the Dutch." For futher education To Princeton we were sent, And after graduation there, Our steps to Yorktown bent. There we met a lot of Frenchmen And learned to "Parlee Vous," And with the French and Irish We beat Cornwallis, too. Now, glory to the Lord of Hosts >From whom all glories flow, And to His servant Washington, And the men of Jericho! By: Albert E. Slack, 1938 I think it is interesting that Gen. Nathaniel Greene reported to the Continential Congress when the army was disolved in 1783 when Congress was meeting at Princton. This was the last time he saw his friend George Washington. Hope you enjoy the poem, and thank you for helping to save our history! I wish I lived in the area and could help restore these old famous homes! Best Regards, Tom Green

Hi Tom, I agree with you 100%!

Hi Dave, You have probably realized what I just learned, that Gen. Washington camped in Bucks County, PA. TWICE. The first visit was in December of 1776, just before the crossing of the Deleware River. On this visit to Bucks County, PA it appears the Gen. Nathaniel Greene quartered at Bogart's Tavern (Buckingham Township). Apparently Gen. Greene moved to the home of Robert Merrick before Christmas Day. Gen. Washington apparently quartered in the William KEITH House located at the southern foot of Jerecho Hill in Upper Makefield. The troops were camped along the Deleware River from New Hope (Coryeus' Ferry) to the north, all the way down the river to Dunk's Ferry, which was located just above Philadelphia. The second visit of the Contintenal Army to Bucks County, PA. was in the summer (July) of 1777 when the British left New York and sailed south for their attack on Philadelphia. Gen. Washington marched his army south to defend Philadelphia and in doing so came from the north into Bucks County, PA in July of 1777 headed for Philadelphia. It was on this "visit" that Gen. Washington stayed in the Moland house located in the village of Hartsville. It was at this time that General Lafayette first met Gen. Washington upon his arrival from Philadelphia where he had just obtained his commission from the Continential Congress. I will post this to the list in hopes that some "Rear" historians will clear up this part of our history. Best Regards, Tom Green

Dave and Tom, This is of no real importance but thought I would share this event with you. The story you told made me think of this. Many years ago on a cold winter day, when my children were little and we lived in NJ, we took our little ones to watch the Reenactment of Washington crossing the Delaware. As we stood and watched, smoke rose from many campfires, "soldier's" did soldier's duties and then quietly, "Washington" and his troop's slipped into boats and started across the river. To this day my children talk of that event and through their eyes, they view our country's history as alive and active, different than many who only open a textbook. Just doing a little woolgathering.... Brenda Jo On 01/27/99 01:51:05 you wrote: > >Hi Dave, > >Well, I finally found the information your asked me about.

Hi Dave, Well, I finally found the information your asked me about. According to Volume 1 of the Bucks County Historical Society, page 155, Gen. Nathaniel Green quartered with Robert Merrick just before crossing the Deleware River. I knew something rang a bell, but I could not recall the story, and you know how I love the stories! The story is that General Washington had dinner with Gen. Greene Christmas evening before the army crossed the Deleware River later that evening. Hannah, the daughter of Robert Merrick served dinner to the men that evening, and she saved the plates these famous men ate from that evening. Gen. Nathaniel Green also gave Hannah Merrick a tea canister which was kept by the family for many years. I believe I have seen a picture of the tea canister somewhere, but have not located the picture. The home of Robert Merrick was "a few hundred yards away across the field" from where Gen. Washington was quartered. Gen. Washington stayed with William Keith who was located "on the road from Brownsbury near the Eagle." As I understand the article in the Bucks County Historical Society journal, these houses were loacted in Upper Makefield in Bucks County, Pa. Gen. Greene was put in charge of protecting all the boats which were Bogart's Tavern, now Righter's at Centerville. Does anyone know where this place was? As you know, the British where waiting for the Deleware River to freeze solid so they could cross the river to engage the Colonial Army, so Gen. Washington had no choice to attack first, except to withdraw. It was said the Deleware River saved the cause of Independence! Hope this helps. Tom

RE: CHARLES GREENE, migrated from Rhode Island (late 1700s) to Marietta, Washington Co. Ohio, on to Cincinnati, Ohio. The following is an excerpt from "History of Marietta and Washington County, Ohio and Representative Citizens", ed by Douglas Putnam, pub 1902 "Page 499 CHARLES GREENE, a native of Rhode Island. He was bred a merchant, and came early to Marietta with his mother in law (by the name of SHEFFIELD) and ISAAC PIERCE, ESQ (whose wife was her daughter), and one other daughter who married MAJOR ZEIGLER, of the United States troops. Mr. Green was afterward in company in a store of goods, under the firm name of GREENE & MEIGS. This firm was established principally by the credit of the Ohio Company to provide the means of redeeming their outstanding orders in goods which were selling at a large discount; but as goods were a cash article, these orders immediately rose to par, and furnished a valuable medium; likewise, all soldiers employed by the company, and by the US, and the spies, could get credit at the store, by hypothecating their wages which were paid in the East. This induced all the retailers of goods to fall into the same plan; this was the introduction of the credit system in our county. Mr. Greene moved to Cincinnati, where his descendants are reputable citizens at this time. Orders on the store were as current then as bank bills are now." ==== If anyone on our list knows who this Charles is, could you let us know? Thanks.
