I have a Matthew Green, age 25, Ireland, Margaret Green, age 24, Ireland, and Mary Ann Green, age 2, New York, living in Clifton Park, NY, down the road from Ballston Spa. There are a bunch of Greens living in Saratoga County, NY and I am interested in all of them because they could very well be related to each other. I am interested in James Greene of Stillwater as well. All dates pertain to the 1850 Census for Saratoga County. Other names I seem to have connected with Matthew Green are HAYDEN, HAGNEY, CANNON, MAHAR, CLUTE, ARMSTRONG, WARD, CLITZ, COYLE, LUBEN, DUNN, all in Albany 5th Ward, Stillwater, NY, Half Moon, NY, or Clifton Park, NY. Also connected with GREEN family in Cincinnati, OHIO (Russell GREEN, born New York, moved to Cincinnati by early 1850s, and his son, Solomon GREEN, born Ohio) I have seen another Matthew Green and a Martin Green in Cincinnati that may be relations of Matthew Green. In New Mexico Territory, I have a COLLINS connection as well as a STEEN connection to Matthew Green. Everything connects somehow to Albany, NY or to West Point, NY where the United States Military Academy is located. I also have Matthew Green connections to the U. S. Army 2nd Infantry and also the 3rd Infantry from 1851 to 1861. > Subject: [GREEN-L] Greens of New York State > Date: Sat, 14 Nov 1998 10:01:56 EST > From: WhtWolfWm@aol.com > To: GREEN-L@rootsweb.com > > Looking for information on Merrit Green born Sept. 16,1870 Washington County > NY Died March 21 1951 in Ballston Spa NY Married Eula Smith Children were > Herbert Ensign,Elzina,Ethel,Mary Louise,Merritt,Laurie,Lulu and William > Thomas.

Hello GREEN Researchers, I am searching for information and relatives of Hannah (E.?) GREEN b. 1-17-1795 d. ABT 1846 in Cass Co. IN. She was married on 11-14-1813 in Frederick Co. WV to Timothy SMITH b. 4-30-1786 Harrison Co. WV d. 9-28-1855 in Cass Co. IN. Hannah's father may have been John GREEN. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !

Re: >Their Daughter, Ruth married to Mr. William Greene in 1784. After the >war of the revolution they with Elisha Hunter brother of MRs. Greene >fled to Green Co GA. for safety and there in a fort their first child >Lemuel was born. Richard, do you have names and dates of any other children after Lemuel? I have this William Green, born in GA about 1792, who would be the right age to be the son of your William Greene and Ruth Hunter. Any allied families by the name of Hill? 1850 Scott Co., IL, census: Green, William 58 M GA (d. bef. 1858, Newton Co., MO) Margaret 46 F SC Robert F. 20 M IL Mary E. 17 F IL Milinda C. 14 F IL Wm. McD. 10 M IL (Died 1864, Peachtree GA) Lydia M. 8 F IL (Margaret Lydia, m. John Lopeman) John W. 5 M IL (maybe John Willard) Margaret had 3 older children by first husband Hill, 2 girls and 1 boy. Robert, Mary and Malinda should have had the last name of Hill. It is unknown if William was previously married. Since Malinda was born abt. 1836, William and Margaret must have been married after that, probably in IL, and before 1840 when Wm. McD. was born. Family believed to be part Cherokee. Thanks Gary Swift gswift@netcom.com

Greeting, I'm trying to establish a location of three families. The Greene's the Hunter's and the Alston's. Why I ask this is a letter i have that was in part taken from a family bible that belong to Philip Greene son of William Greene adn Ruth Hunter In the first two pages the author of the leter corrcetly identifies Willaim Greene and his wife Ruth Hunter as well as all of their children. In a letter dated Feb. 4th 1893 written by Mrs. Philip Greene ( Mildred Washington Sanford) from LaGrange GA. The secon part of this letter reads in part With a copy of the family record as found in the old family bible I will (write?) some other facts of the Greene family history. There lived in South Carolina before the Revolution three planters who were neighbors and citizens of means and good standing. Their names were Alston, Greene, and Hunter. A son of Mr. Hunter married Miss Alston. Their Daughter, Ruth married to Mr. William Greene in 1784. After the war of the revolution they with Elisha Hunter brother of MRs. Greene fled to Green Co GA. for safety and there in a fort their first child Lemuel was born. At the time of my marriage to Mr. Philip Greene his mother was a handsome woman of sixty one intelligent and lovely in character. Now does anyone know where these 3 family had land near each ohter and who Elisha Hunter is. In my data Ruth Hunter father is Jesse Hunter and they did have a son by the name of Elisha Hunter but that is all i have on him. please someone out there help me out here Thank you Richard Greene

I have a Merritt M. Greene, no information on Merritt, but he married: Mabel Edith Ackerman b. Aug. 31, 1899. They married on October 20, 1920. They resided in Latrobe, Pa. They had one child: Esther Rebecca Greene b. Feb. 27, 1922 Could this Merritt be the son of your Merrit looking at the birth dates? This information is from: The Richard Genealogy. Original name of Richard was Reichard. I have additional information on Mabel Ackerman if you are interested or think that these 2 Merrits could be connected. Sally

Looking for information on Merrit Green born Sept. 16,1870 Washington County NY Died March 21 1951 in Ballston Spa NY Married Eula Smith Children were Herbert Ensign,Elzina,Ethel,Mary Louise,Merritt,Laurie,Lulu and William Thomas. I am trying to locate the parents of both Merrit and his wife Eula. If anyone is researching this family or has information on them I would love to share what I have.

Hello everyone, Does anyone know what the address to write to is to get a death certificate for someone that died in New York City? I am sure it is the easiest info to find but today I am having no luck connecting to anything . Thank you Dawn

Anyone ever hear of a William Green born aprox. 1778 in Berkshire Co. Mass. Thanks, Doug Green <><

Thanks! Nice site! Looks like lots of work! You have my permission to add what little info I have on our Greens--maybe someone can link to them (wish I could!): Thomas Green father of Ann Green b. ca 1670, m. ca 1695 to James Hereford (sometimes written Horyford), d. ca 1721 Fairfax Co, VA. The Hereford/Horyford family was from Herefordshire, England (James was born there 1668) so it's possible or Greens were too. Or maybe they met on the ship? As always, any help appreciated! Cyndi in Baltimore P.S. I've been thinking about a website. Are you happy with your format? I haven't really looked into it yet--wondering which of the many styles to go with...Any suggestions?

Is anyone working on the Greens of Goochland Co., VA? W. John Green, Rev. War Soldier, married Susannah Lawrence in Goochland. He died in Rockbridge Co., VA in 1849, nearly 100 years old. Louise

Just to add more confusion - there are numerous records in early Dutch NY that spell Green as GROEN - it is not clear if that was their real surname or or if this was simply how the the Dutch church translated it....but it is definitely translated as Green. The records keepers of the Dutch church often "Dutchified" names, so sometimes early records are hard to find because we have no way of knowing how the Dutch wrote them. (For example, one of my Fergusons was listed as a Forks) I have some of these early records on Groen (Green) families if anyone needs them. Laura ======== Carolyn R.

Well spoken, Tom - and God bless you for saying it.

Like most of you genealogist, I had an ancestor that fought in almost every war that American have been involved in, but the celebration of Veteran's Day is one of the most important days in the lives of everyone living today. As you know today was the day of the surrender of Germany after WWI, but has been changed to include a celebration for all veterans in all wars. My father was a POW in WWII, so Veteran's Day has always had a special meaning, but today is even more special for me.

I have some information on this man (descended from John the Surgeon Greene family of Warwick, RI) from the Washington County, Ohio genealogy library. If you think any of this could be news to you, please let me know. Griffin, born in RI, was an early settler of the first town in the Northwest Territory, Marietta Ohio in the late 1700s.

Thank you Tom and Ron All to often those who served in both war and peace times are forgotten in this country. Others scorn those who did serve during a war that was unpopular. My husband served proudly for 21 1/2 years, 1 year in Viet Nam, 2 tours of Europe, and numerous days away from home TDY on service for his country. After retirement he went back to work for the same branch of service as a civilian and to this date has sacrificed better pay with civilian sectors in order to keep us all safe from harms way. I am proud of a person who still feels it necessary to be a watch dog to keep others honest in both the civilian and military sectors. Our thanks to those who gave their all and those who gave some.

Green(e)'s, For the last 3 months or so GLENN GREEN has been working on cleaning up our database. This was a massive task. 6 weeks ago he said he had put in over 100 hours ! He has removed over 7,000 duplicates and other garbage. This means the database will be more accurate, efficient, and faster. This cleaning will probably link up some unknown ancestors. Please delete your GENDEX bookmarks or you will get a bunch of error 404's. I think GLENN deserves more than a good ATTABOY ! Why doesn' t the treasurer buy him an expensive fishing pole ? ( I know where he lives on the east coast ) I'll match the first $50.00 ! The files are ready for use. Regards, N.E.

In memory of someone special..... My 86yr old aunt died on Nov.2. As per her instructions, I was given her old family pictures, letters and miscellaneous papers. In one of the boxes was a death notice for a mutual cousin of ours, who died many years ago. The death notice stated that he was a WW11 veteran and (completely unknown to me) a holder of the Medal of Honor. He was a truely delightful human being....kind, funny, generous and filled with a deep love for God and his family. I spent many an hour and days in his home (his children and I where about the same age) and never heard him brag or even talk about the medal or why it was awarded. When I read his death notice I was filled with great pride and also great saddness, for I never got the chance to thank him for his courage and to tell him how truely grateful I am for men like him. As his soul slumbers with God, I hope in some way he knows, that his bravery will never be forgotten. Brenda Jo

Thank you Tom. It couldn't have been said any better. I too am finding out that I have had ancestors in all of the wars. My father was a WWII Veteran. Purple Heart. We lost him just 2 years ago. And he always taught us the importance of this day. May we always remember all of the people and the reason for today. Dawn
