I believe Rowan County, North Carolina. Is there another Rowan County and if so, where?

Rowan County where?????

In a message dated 98-11-11 05:08:18 EST, you write: << 11-11-98 (Just remembered, this is Veteran's Day!) >> Thanks Ron, I want to take this occasion to say a few words to the Lists about today, and what It means to me. 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. This morning, over 80 color guards will be gathering at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas for a Massing of the Colors. I am priviliged to be a member of our Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) local chapter's Color Guard, and will be proudly carry the Flag of our nation today for this celebration. I encourage each of you to participate in the celebrations being conducted in your community today, and express your thanks for what our fathers, mothers, sons, brothers, daughters and grandparents have done so that we can enjoy the the most wonderful country on earth! A very famous man from England once said that those who don't study history are doomed to commit the errors of the past. Lets always remember what our ancestors did for us. God Bless America! Tom Green

HI all! Another thing ya'll might want to remember, not everyone is an English 'Green'; there are several lines that were Gruen when they disembarked in N.America. Gruen very often was changed by English clerks when documents were recorded if the German families moved into English settlements..ie: Pa to Va. Another Green researching !!

Hi; Is anyone researching John GREEN that was living in Sodus NY about 1800-10. He married Lucy ? They had a daughter Lucy A. she married Hiram NORTON. They apparently were married in either Wayne or Allegany Counties in NY. John came to Lorain Co,OH about 1830 with Hiram and Lucy. He died in Penfield,OH about 1849. Is anyone researching this line? Julie;

Where the name Greene came from is explained in the book titled, "The Greenes of Rhode Island with Historical Records of English Ancestry 1534-1902" compiled from the MSS. of the late Major-General George Sears Greene, U.S.V. by Louise Brownell Clarke. Published in New York in 1903 as follows: Quote "OF THE ORIGINAL, ANTIQUITY, NAME, ARMS, ALLIANCES, GREATNESS AND POSSESSIONS OF THE HOUSE OF GREENE." Of the original of the House of Greene we have no certain information, but it is apparent they assumed their Name and Arms from an allusion to their principal and beloved lordship, which was Buckton, or the Town of Bucks, in the county of Northampton, being in the Hundred of Spelho, a place memorable for the excellency of its soil and situation and a spacious and delightful green upon which, at the desire of the Lords, was yearly held and exercised a Fair with particular and extraordinary privilege. Hence they were called "Greene" or "of the Greene." And from Buckton or the town of Bucks they have assumed for their Arms in a field azure Three bucks trippant, or In the first mention of the family, we find it in a very flourishing condition, possessed of the Manor of Buckton from which the Lords thereof did take their usual style as also of the lordships of Heyborne, Heydmoncourte, Dadington, Ashby Mares and Grene's Norton, the latter whereof was held by particular obligation of holding up the lord's right hand toward the King upon christmas day wherever he should be at that time in England. And of these was Lord Sir thomas of Buckton, or Sir thomas Grene of Buckton who lived in the reign of King Edward the first. Of these Grenes we find divers to have been qualified by their riches and pwoer and the esteem they held for the principal employments in the counties where they lived. among the other advantages of this House the great blood of which it was participant did honor it very much, it having had the fortune to ally itself to the great Houses of Stafford, De La Zouche, Mauduit, Talbot, Ferrers of Chartley and Rosse, all of the illustrious and old nobility. But at last, coming to the fortune of all transitory things, it concluded in Sir Henry Grene who, being without issue male, the Arms, blood and inheritance of this family came by a daughter to the Veres that were Lords of Addington and from them by another heir to the present Earl of Peterborough.----Halstead. ORIGIN OF THE NAME The following memorandum attached to, or a part of the parchment pedigree of the "House of Greene" presented to the Boston Athenaeum Library in 1881 by Williaqm Batchelder Greene, was possibly made by Mr. burt, the compiler of the chart. The theory as to the origin of the name Grene or Greene is well worthy of consideration, and the three points upon which the connection of Sir Henry Grene, Lord Chief Justice of England, is based, are certainly sufficiently strong to awaken the interest of all those who bear the name in America. "HOUSE OF GREENE LORDS OF BUCKTON, ETC., COUNTY NORTHAMPTONSHIRE." On origin: "The name of this family is not of Saxon or Scandinavian origin as its present form might suggest, such as Wood, Vale, Green, etc., names taken from localities and found in almost every country of modern Great Britain. During the 12th & 13th centuries flourished a number of minor Barons (i.e., not possessing more, or as much as, thirteen knight's fees and a quarter) bearing the name of Dela Greene (or Grene) in Co. Northampton. Sir Henry Greene, Lord of Buckton, may be counted with these by three facts; First, that on one of his seals attached to an Indenture now in the archives of theBritish Museum, is found the inscription---'Sigill (Henri) ci Grene, Milit,' (this in old English characters); Secondly, that the said Sir Henry held his lands in capite by the same service as the feudal lords before mentioned, i.e., by lifting up the right hand on Michaelmas Day wherver the King should be in England (Harl. MSS.); Thirdly, all these claim much the same family alliances (as found on their various records and on their tombs). Tracing the name further back, we find the name De la Grene replaced by Del Grene (the latter seems to have been one of the latest of the Lords of the township of Newsholm) and before the Norman Conquest the name of Greene disappears all together and we are said to find Grini or Del Grini in counties York and Northampton. this would show the great antiquity of the family as well as suggest a Latin origin. It is worthy of note that a patrician family existed at Rome, shortly after the Roman conquest, of the same name, and that the nameis still borne by certain nobles in the northern part of Italy near Belluno. In addition to the above memorandum are a few notes on the opposite upper corner of the chart; the first giving names and baptisms of the children of John Greene, whoemigrated to the American colonies, and others referring to General Nathanael Greene of the Revolutionary Army and descendant of said John; also to that line of his descendants who settled in New Hampshire (records now partially erased); and to the Gardiner Greenes and Copley-Greenes of Boston. In another handwriting is a note relating to the Greenes of Ireland on the authority of Burke, being endorsed, "signed by Sir Bernard Burke." It has special interest in connection with the recently published pedigree following "Greene's Norton, Northamptonshire," where descent is claimed by this Irish branch from the Northamptonshire family, though proof is not conclusive. UNQUOTE This is probably more than you wanted to know. I found it interesting though. I have a copy of the book that the info above is taken from. I hope this is helpful to you.

The marriage may have been in Fairfax Co (1695?) since their son John Hereford I was born in Fairfax in 1698...Can anyone link this Thomas and Ann with the above? Or with anyone? >> Hi Cyndi, The info you have posted above in interesting in that a new middle name has been introduced, as far as I know. Thomas "Seagull" Green was born at sea in 1635 while his parents, Thomas and Martha Green were coming to America on the ship, Speedwell from Rotterdam, Holland, and he married Martha Filmer in Virginia. They did have a son named Thomas Green, born about 1665, who married Elizabeth Marson, born November 25, 1672, but I have not seen that his middle name was "Abner" but that is certainly a possibility because one of his grandsons was named Abner Green, born 1762. The Thomas Marston Green you mentioned above, was born November 19, 1723, and was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Marston Green mentioned above. He married, on November 21, 1752 Martha Wills, born March 31, 1734, and their children were: (1) Elizabeth Marston Green, born October 21, 1753, who married Martha Kirkland; (2) Henry Filmer Green, born November 11, 1755; (3) Thomas Marston Green, Jr. born February 26, 1758, died February 7, 1815; (4) Anthony Green, born January 1, 1760; (5) Abner Green born January 21, 1762 who married Martha Hutchins; (6) Martha Wills Green born December 25, 1763 who married Cato West; (7) Ann Haywood Green born December 17, 1765; (8) Henry Marston Green born November 8, 1767 who married Jane Davidson; (9) Elias Green born October 9, 1769; (10) Filmer Wills Green, born April 6, 1772; (11) Abraham Green, born September 26, 1774; and (12) Everard Green, born April 15, 1776, died March 10, 1813, who married Elizabeth Kirkland and second wife Ann last name unknown. That is about all I have on this generation, and there may be some errors in this data. There are several Web Pages on the internet where you can get a ton of data on this family, but I hope this helps you in some way. Tom Green

Does anyone have any information on a James Green who is listed on the 1759 Rowan County Tax List? I'm trying to see if he ties into my family. Thanks, Krys http://members.aol.com/krys53/family/index.htm Parsons,Fields,Thrift,Parker,Armfield,McCune,Julian,Rhoads,Trogdon,Gossett,Con rad

Hi Ron, If I can trouble all of you for a little more info on this Green family, please review the below chart of your family and correct any error I have made. Roger Green born about 1611 in Norfolk County, England, came to Virginia on the ship, "Abraham" in 1635. He may have been married to a Miss. Dennis, and they were the parents of Timothy Green, born about 1650 in Virginia, died about 1676 in Virginia, and married Ann Farniforld, born about 1650, the daughter of Rev. John Farnifold and Mary Brooks. Timothy and Ann Farnifold Green had at least three sons, James Green, Titus Green born November 27, 1767, and Farnifold Green, born May 30, 1674 in St. Stephens Parish, Northumberland County, Virginia. He was married in 1697 to Hanna Kent, born May 10, 1673, who was the daughter of Thomas and Ann Kent. Hannah Kent had first been married to John Smithwick, who died in 1696. They had a daughter named Ann Smithwick who was mentioned in the will of Farnifold Green when he wrote it October 26, 1711. Hannah Kent again married after the death of Farnifold Green, this time to Richard Graves, brother of Thomas Graves, whos grandfather was in Jamestown in 1608. There may have been a 4th marriage of Hannah Kent. Please correct any errors I have made. >From what you have all posted about Farnifold Green's will, his children were: Thomas, John, James, Farnifold, Jr., Francis, and Elizabeth Green. James Green was married to Ann and they may have been the parents of Gidion Green. Can any of you fill in more details on the children of Farnifold Green? I am attempting to identify the parents of my William Green, born February 6, 1762 in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and I need at least two more generations of your family to see if I can find the parents of my William Green in your family.

That question would be absolutely crucial to tracking down his christening. Remember, neither William, nor GREEN are unusual names. Without some idea of his origins it's rather like saying you're looking for William GREEN born somewhere in North America without specifying province, state, county etc. To give you an idea of the difficulty, on some lines I have traced back into the 1500's, but every single one of my ancestors I have so far been able to trace all come from one single county in England (and my GREENs only go back to 1794 so far).

My husband's family has been at a standstill in researching the roots of William Green, who went to Nova Scotia in 1783, with "the New York Loyalists" as it was put. He was probably a young man, since we know he married an Elizabeth Cronk Oct 21, 1789 in Digby, NS. he later moved to Grand Manan, a small island off the coast of Maine, but part of New Brunswick, Canada. In 1806, he received a land grant there, having never applied for one in Nova Scotia. I haven't a clue about whether he was originally from New York, or just was a part of the group that left at the same time. If anyone can shed some light on how and where to proceed, I would really appreciate it. Thank you, Marcia Greene in Maine (the 'e' was added by my father-in-law's grandfather. All other descendents still on Grand Manan are 'e'-less!)

Hi all, Got bumped form the list when my mailbox filled up...have I missed anything?

So far as I know I am not related to this family but came across the information on a visit to the library at Goshen, NY. They had a file of correspondence and information about the family. I did not copy the entire file but only some information. The first settler in America of this family was Peter Grenaue who came here about 1700. He operated an ironworks at Sterling in the Ramapo Valley area and was visited there during the Rev War by Gen Washington. Peter Green Sr had three sons and two daughters but only the names of two of the sons have been preserved: 1. Peter Green (17__-1801). Married Hannah King and had a son, Jacob Green (1755-1850) who had descendants. 2. Daniel Green: a blacksmith at Ringold, NJ Sorry I did not copy more! Betty

Joe, Because I had ancestors at Phelps, Ontario Co, NY during the early years, I had copies made of the whole twp of Phelps for the years 1800 through 1840. I also have Green ancestors, but not that I know about at Phelps -- my interests there were the VanDeusens. However, I was able to go to these xeroxed copies and get the Green families: 1800, Phelps, p. 486 Benjamin Green Males: 201? Females: 2??1 1810, Phelps (page numbers not apparent) Benj Green M 61010 (the 6 somewhat questionable!) F 12010 Jno Green M 01010 F 41010 1820, Phelps # 167 Nathaniel Green M 000110 F 012010 #270 William Green M 300010 F 000110 #705 Benjamin Green M 000100 F 000300 #788 Elijah S. Green M 000010 F 201000 Guess you can make any deductions that may be possible. Hope this helps. I would be glad to hear if any of them are your ancestors. Betty
