Hi Folks, As you know, these lists are free and we all enjoy and benefit from them. The Rootsweb Cooperative not only sponsors these lists, but the USGenweb, The Roots-L surname registry, and many other genealogical resources. I thought I'd pass this info along in case some of you care to help financially. It takes a lot of money to keep Rootsweb up and running, and while the personnel are volunteers, the equipment needs constant work and upgrades. They rely on private subscriptions. Anyway, here's the info as passed on to me: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html Contributing Individual users may contribute to the Cooperative at differing levels of support. While there are some differences in the services we provide at each level, fundamentally when you choose a level you're making a choice about what kind of genealogical resources you want to see brought onto the Internet.

Marna, My ggrandfather's name was William Green. He married Josaphine West. His sister Sarah married Burt Ballew. William was my grandmother's father. My grandmother, Ocie Anna Green was born 1895. I don't have dates for William and Sarah. Do you think that they are connected to the William that you are looking for? They were from White County. I would be most grateful for any information. I could give you information about their descendants. Thanks. Lynda

My William Green was from Armaugh Co. Ireland. I think he came to Virginia, but am not sure. His son... Henry B. GREEN (b. 1771) m Rebecca TAYLOR (b. 1773) [Henry added the "e" to his name] I think they are the ones who moved to Indiana. John Houston GREENE m Mary French BEERS Sidney Hampton GREENE m Effie BURKHEART Della Myrtle GREENE m Carroll Franklin BRIDGES Robert BRIDGES m Ruth GREEN (no relation to these Greens) Mary Ann Bridges (me) m Tom Albin Please contact me if you have these Greenes.

I don't know if anyone has mentioned that the Family Tree Maker site has the book "The Descendants of Joseph Green" in their online library. And I'm still searching for anyone who may have information on William Green (middle initial possibly W.) born 1806 or 1807 in KY. He had sons Joseph, William V. B., and Willis, and daughters Cynthia and Sarah all born in White County Tennessee during the 1840's and 1850's. Anyone have one of these Greens in their family? Marna

I have a list of Greens for Ohio 1800-1810 as taken from land taxes. It is in MS Excel spreadsheet format. I am recording point of orgin for Greens to identify hopefully some Pennsylvania Greens that went "somewhere". It may be useful to you. I can send as an attached file. Brian Green

Would anyone have any information on the descendants of the Henry Green that came over on the Ark & Dove in 1633? I believe this Henry Green died in Talbot County, MD in 1680. Many Thanks, Michelle Greene

Would like to throw out my two William Greens while we're on the subject: William Green b. 1781 NJ (may have lived in Clermont Co., OH) d. 14 June 1849 Ripley Co., IN + ?, Ann m. ca 1805 b. 1789 NJ d. 1862 Ripley Co., IN children: John W., Jonathan R., William, James B., Elizabeth, Sarah, Ann, Jacob S. William Greene b. 1725 d. ca 1770 + Nancy Justice m. ca 1749 Tryon/Mecklenburg Co., NC? b. ca 1730 children: Jarvis, George, James, Mary, Esther, Nancy, and another daughter all born in NC This family later relocated to Menard Co., (New Salem) IL. Would like to hear from anyone who might connect or who would like more information. Sue Green

Robert, I have a sizeable data base of Greens whose progenitor was a Peter Green (c.1730/1750 - 1803 who is reported by various branches of the family to have been born in France or have had a father who was born in France. He and his wife produced about 11 children, of whom I have some descending information on four, one of whom was one of my 3G grandfather. They originally lived in the Ramapo Mountains in Orange County, New York where they worked in the mines and furnaces. Later generations could be found in Warwick and Southfields (their Ramapo town of origin), New York, and in Ringwood and other spots in northern New Jersey. I've had contact with a number of descendants including several from my branch which migrated to Hunterdon County, New Jersey in the 1820's and are not to be confused with the Samuel Green family of the same area. That you trace your Peter and Albert to the Orange County area and report the "French connection" could indicate a relationship. Unfortunately, I have no Alberts in my data, no Peter Green with a similar birth date and no mention of an Etta Howell. Do you have any further information that might provide clues? Best regards, Kelvin Kean Elverson, Pennsylvania

Hello Harold, Happy New Year to you too! And Nell! I'm sorry that I have not heard of Hettie Green. My grandparents Charles Hubert Green and Elizabeth May Spencer Green lived in Eureka, Illinois. In her letters to me, she spoke of children of theirs living in Indiana. My grandparents were both born in Allen Co., Kentucky. She said all old Kentuckians would tell you they came from "Old Virginia". My grandparents and my father were the only people I knew of my Green side and I didn't know them that well. I have a half sister from Francis Marimon, my birth father. I've corresponded a little with her. I'm grateful to Nell for telling me about my grandfather Henry Brock Pinckard at Christmas time and my father, Pinky, taking her for a ride in the car. Thank You Elaine Dennison hendenn@flash.net

Hi Green researchers, My gg grandfather was Peter Green b-1855 in either Waywanda N.Y. or N.J. married Etta M. Howell of Sussex Co. N.J. Peter And Etta were residing in Wantage N.J. in 1880 next door to his father Albert born ca 1812 in N.J.. Albert gives information in the census that his father was born in France and his mother in N.J. By 1900 Peter and Etta are residing in Orange Co. N.Y. where they remain for the rest of their lives. Does this line ring any bells. Bob Green

Tom I have corresponded with you in the past. I don't have your e-mail. Please e-mail me privately. ebdoers@cuttingedge.net

Hello, I too have a William Green in New York who is eluding me. William D.

NY minus Anna, but with kids. By 1870 he had moved to Green Twp. Mecosta Co. MI Children of William D. and Anna, all born in Sand Lake, Rensselaer Co., were: Abigail Andrew George Willard Lewis H.

The Samuel GREEN of western NJ who married BULL, KEMP, & WRIGHT is not the son of John GREENE & Amy ALMY of Warwick, RI, according to my information. John & Amy GREENE's son Samuel was born in Warwick, RI 30 Jan 1671 and married Mary GORTON in Warwick 24 Jan 1695. They resided in Warwick and Samuel died in Warwick 18 Sep 1720 and is buried on his farm in a village in Warwick. Samuel GREEN (ca.1670-1760) of western NJ is most likely the son of Richard GREEN of western NJ; however, no proof has been found to substantiate that theory. Do any of you readers have anything to add to this discussion? - Jack On Sat, 2 Jan 1999 TBGreen3@aol.com wrote: > Hi Dawn, > > There are others on the Green list with much more info than I have, but I > wanted to tell you that my data shows that Samuel Greene who married Sarah > Bull, Margaret Gordon Kemp and Hannah Wright was the son of Major John Greene > and his wife Amy Almy.
