Robert Greene I b. 1490 10. Robert Greene II b. 1534 Hi Darrell, There are a number of books on the early family and a lot of data that may or may not be true. I will give you the baisc outline so you will know what you are looking for. The great granson of one of the Knights who came to England with William the Conqueror, was given the ancient estate of Boketon in about 1202. His name was Alexander no last name at that time. When last names were required, this family took the name of their estate, so his son was known as Sir Walter de Boketon, and his son was John de Boketon who was supposedly killed in Palestine during the Crusades in 1271. His son, Thomas de Boketon is supposed to have adopted the name Green because of the beautiful estate where a county fair was established that lasted for over 500 years. While this story may be true, many researchers do not believe this was accurate. Some believe that Thomas de Boketon may have inherited the estate and changed his name, as was the custom when a man inherited the estate of his wife. What ever the case, his son Henry Greene became one of the largest land holders in England and became the Lord Chief Justice of England. It was this Henry Greene that purchased the estate of Norton in 1352 and this was when it became Green's Norton. It was the custom, in fact the law, that the eldest son inherite the estate, but Sir Henry Greene had a second son, also named Henry Greene, and he got permission from the King to divide his estate between his eldest son, Thomas Greene and his second son, Henry Greene. This second son, Henry Greene, born about 1343 also became Lord Chief Justice of England, and also became the most powerful man of his day, since a "committee" was formed to oversee the acts of the King. When the King reversed his decision to allow a cousin to inherite his father's estate, the cousin took the Crown by force and beheaded Sir Henry Greene in 1399 in Bristol, England. Things got really bad in England after that, and the War of the Roses caused many records to be destroyed, not to mention the people who were killed during this time. It is believed that Surgeon John Greene and John Greene of Quidnessett descended from this Greene line. There are several researchers of this family on the list, so I will post this message to the list so they can give you their info. Hope this gets you started. Tom Green TBGreen3@aol.com

In my previous post this date, I really scrambled the military information on Major James Green and Major Gabriel Jones. Obviously I did not proof read it very well before I sent it. Let me try again. It should read as follows: 1.6 Major James Green (b. 1734, d. after 1809) m. 1/28/1782 Elizabeth Jones. James was a Captain in the VA militia during the French and Indian War, and a Major in the Culpeper minutemen. He fought in the Battle of Great Bridge, the first of the Revolutionary War in Virginia. He was vestryman of St. Mark's Parish in Culpeper. He died there and his will was probated in the Culpeper County Court House, Aug 23, 1809. Elizabeth Jones was the daughter of Gabriel Jones, Sr. and Mary Johnson Edmundson. She was a sister of Major Gabriel Jones, Jr. (ca 1740-1777). This Gabriel Jones. Jr. was a member of Capt. John Morris' company of rangers for the defense of the Western Frontier, County of Kanawha VA -- probably the French and Indian War. He was among the first to raise and command a company of marines for the Virginia Militia in the Revolutionary War. He served as Captain with a ship at Fredricksburg. After the Virginia State Marine Corps was disbanded in 1776, he commanded the 8th Company, 1st Regiment of the Virginia State Line. He married 1st, Mary Waller of Spotsylvania, and 2nd Martha Slaughter, and had issue. This Major Gabriel Jones should not be confused with the perhaps more famous Gabriel Jones, "the valley lawyer." ("History of Virginia's Navy of the Revolution" by Stewart; "Green's Notes on Culpeper"" and "Slaughter's St. Mark's Parish", and "Historic Culpeper." ) Again this replaces the information shown on Major James Green and Major Gabriel Jones in my earlier posting this same date.

Beth, Louise, Tom and others interested in this line. I am a descendant of James, one of the 7 sons of Robert Green, known as the "Red Greens" of Culpeper Co. VA. I can supply some information on James and his brothers which I will post below. I have been pleased to see that there are a small number of us interested in this line. I would like to know who all of you are, and would appreciate your identifying yourselves so that perhaps we can pool our information more effectively. While there are a number of genealogies available on this line, they are all woefully short on dates, and other details. I would like to compare notes with everyone in this group as to what they show and what their sources are. If you tell us your descent (assuming you know it), it might also help the rest of us to know where your principal interest lies. I suggest we identify ourselves under the subject, “Red Greens” which some of you are already using for the purpose of quickly being able to identify that a post concerns this branch of the Green family. There are so many Green/e lines out there it is sometimes not easy to identify quickly which posts might be of particular interest to us. Although I have information on many others in this line, let me start by posting what I know about James, the 6th son of Robert Green and Eleanor Dunn: 1.6 Major James Green, (b. 1734, d. after 1792) m. 1/28/1782 Elizabeth Jones Elizabeth was a sister of Maj. Gabriel Jones (1664-1777), not to be confused with another Gabriel Jones known as the “Valley Lawyer,” with whom there has never the less been great confusion. Our Gabiel Jones was a vestryman in Fredrick Parish. He was a minuteman and fought in the battle of Great Bridge, the first Revolutionary battle in VA. He was listed as one of the officers of Marines during the Revolution. He was also listed as Captain of the Virginia Troops in the Continental Line. From May 1 through Sept. 1791, he was a member of Capt. John Morris’ company of rangers for the defense of the Western Frontier, County of Kanawha VA (now WV). (from “Gabriel Jones (1724-1806) and Some of his Descendants” by Brown, Chappel, and Myers which was a book about the Valley Lawyer, but on p. 30-31 had a short section on the genealogy of our Major Gabriel Jones, "the other Gabriel Jones”) He probably became Major after the war. His will was probated in Culpeper Court House, Aug 23, 1809. (“Green Family of Culpeper Co., VA” by A.A. Lewis of Fredericksburg VA 1939-40.) The children of James Green and Elizabeth Jones were: 1.6.1 Gabriel of Green River KY. served as an Ensign in the 6th VA, and later as 1st Lt. in the Revolutionary war. He married Sarah Grant (Colonial Families of the SouthernStates of America.), and had issue. 1.6.2. James m. Miss Jones, and had issue. 1.6.3. Robert of Fauquier Co., VA m. Lucy Edmunds, dtr. of Capt. William and Elizabeth (Blackwell) Edmunds, and had issue. 1.6.4. Duff, died a batchelor. 1.6.5. Jones (about 1765 Culpeper Co. - 1849 Hardy Co., my ancestor), m. ca 1991 Mary Nevill Mary Nevill was the daughter of Gen. Joseph Nevill, Jr. of Moorefield, Hardy Co., VA (now WV), man of many talents from another distinguished VA family. He was a colonel in VA militia during the Revolution, making general before the War of 1812. He was a noted surveyor who completed the Mason-Dixon line, which Mason and Dixon had left unfinished due to trouble with the Indians and frontiersmen. He was a member of the VA House of Burgesses before and during the Revolution, and the House of Representatives after the Revolution. He also was a major plantation owner who kept a few slaves..Jones Green and Mary Nevill’s children were: 1.6.5.1 Jones Green, Jr. (b. ca 1794, Hardy Co., VA), 1.6.5.2 Nancy Green 1.6.5.3.Agnes Brown Green 1.6.5.4 Joseph Nevil , (about 1805, Hardy Co. VA - ca 1853, Davies Co., MO), my anscestor, m1 Amanda Molonica Parsons (dtr. of Rev. War Capt James Parsons) of Moorefield, m2 6/11/1840 Keziah Stark in Muscatine Co., IA. Children: 1.6.5.4.1 Mary Ellen Green (10/10/1841, Daviess Co., MO - 2/23/1905 Ventura Co., CA, my g. grandmother) m. June 1859 Samuel Allen Guiberson, Ft. Laramie, NB Territory en route by wagon train to CA. 1.6.5.4.2 Hariet Green (8/2/1844, Daviess Co., MO - 5/5/1885 CA), m. John M. Busick, a pony express rider. 1.6.5.1.3 William T.

In a message dated 98-09-20 17:30:46 EDT, you write: << Anyone have any specifics about Colonel John Green's ( 1730-1793) service in the Revolutionary War?? Thanks. >> Hi Beth, One story about Col. John Green was that he was assigned the job of covering the planned retreat of Gen. Nathaniel Greene at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse March 15, 1781. The story is that Col. John Green was very unhappy with this assignment, and Gen. Nathaniel Greene had to promise that he would assign Col. John Green the forward assignment in the next battle to calm him down. In order to understand the meaning of this story you must understand that the Americans did not have adequate troops in any battle, and seldom would stand and fight, as was the traditional way war was fought in the 1700's. As a result, the planning for any battle where lines were formed and American troops always included a plan to withdraw. One of the more intersting events of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse was that Lord Cornwallis turned his cannons on his own troops during the battle because it looked as if the Americans were going to win the battle. Cornwallis knew that Gen. Nathaniel Greene did not have adequate troops, and he apparently did not care about his own troops, so he apparently had no hesitation in turning his cannons on his troops as they were being forced back by the Americans. It was at this point that Gen. Nathaniel Greene withdrew from the battle. Because of the "rules" of war in that day, this withdrawal of the Americans allowed the British to claim victory even though they lost 1/4 of their army. One British politian was said to have commented that if they had one more "vidtory" such as the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, they would not have an army remaining. Many historians say that the American Revolution was won at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, but the surrender was taken at Yorktown. Hope this help in some way. Tom Green

Anyone have any specifics about Colonel John Green's ( 1730-1793) service in the Revolutionary War?? Thanks.

Here is some more info for the Red Greens that I found I had. >From the Book Scot-Irish Settlement in Va. by Lyman Chalkley; Cout Judgements. John Green vs Green,- John Green of Orange Co, gent., orator Complains: Somtime in 1746, orators late father, Robert Green, of Orange, purchased of Robert McCoy, late of Augusta, land on Linville's Creek which Robert intended for John and his two brothers, James and Moses Green ( they as well as orator, infants). In 1746- February 1747- McCoy conveyed the land to John, James and Moses. Robert also owned other tracts jointly with Jose Hite and Robert McCoy. Orator has long since come of age, and is in want of part of the lands, but James and Moses are not of age. Bill for partitionfiled 1754. Answer of James and Moses by Eleanor Green, their guardian.

I need birth and death dates on the "Red Greens", the seven sons of Robert Green (1695-1748) and Eleanor Dunn. Also, I have the wives and children of all 7, but if anyone has any interesting info about any of the seven brothers, please send it to me. I've got quite a bit on Colonel John, my ancestor, but I'd like more on the others. Which of them or their children fought in the Revolution, for instance? Thanks beth@commandnet.net

Thanks beth@commandnet.net >> Hi Beth, I have approximate dates for the children of Robert and Eleanor Dunn Green, but would be interested in any proven dates you may have or find. (1) Col William Green born about 1727 in Essex County, Virginia, died August 6, 1793 in Culpeper County, Virginia. (2) Robert Green born about 1728, died after 1787 in Culpeper County, Va. (3) Duff Green born about 1730, and died about the start of the American Revolution. (4) Col. John Green born about 1731 in Liberty Hall in Culpeper Co. Va., died November 18, 1793 in Culpeper Co. Va. Moved to Arlington Cemetery. I would love to have the stories and info you have on this hero. (5) Nicholas Green born about 1733, died after 1792. (6) Major James Green, born 1734, died after 1793. (7) Moses Green born about 1749, died 1799 in Culpeper Co. Va. I hope this helps you in some way. I have tried to connect my William Green, born February 6, 1762 in Prince Edward County, Virginia to the Robert Green family, but have not been successful, and would appreicate any ideas or suggestion you might have that would help me find the identity of the parents of my William Green.

In a message dated 98-09-18 05:37:59 EDT, you write: << Somehow, I just KNEW that my STRAHAN would get your immediate attention! Okay. Do you have a date for your Jennie STRAHAN? The reason that I ask is that, if the surname is in the States BEFORE 1750 then it's probably straight from France and if it's AFTER 1750 it's a 'safe bet' that your Jennie STRAHAN may also be Acadian >> hi Lisa, Thanks so much for the interesting info on the Acadians. I love visiting New Orleans, and the food, but that is about all I know about the Acadian heritage. I have visited the small community where the first Acadians first settled in Louisiana, but don't recall the name. The only info I have on Jean Strahan comes from a family history book, "Nathaniel Julian Venable of Alabama" by Rae Venable Calvert. In this book, the author says that Jean Strahan may in fact have been named Simpson, and not Strahan, but his is apparently based on the middle name of her daughter, Jane Cook. Here is the date line as I have been able to place it. Jane Simpson Cook, the mother of Jefferson Davis, died at Rosemont, near Woodville, Mississippi October 30, 1845, and her tombstone indicates she was 84 making her birth about 1761 in North Carolina, however I have seen several dates mentioned for her birth from 1759 to 1761. Jane was the daughter of Rev. William Cook, a famous Baptist minister of the day. Rev. William Cook, born about 1724 in Vuirginia, married Jean Strahan about 1756, and migrated to Georgia about 1761 where that lived in St. Paul's Parish in what became either Wilks or Richmond county. Her husband, Samuel Emory Davis, born between 1756 and 1759 in North Carolina, served in the American Revolution, and was given a grant of land in Georgia for his service. He met Jane Cook after meeting her father during the war in South Carolina, and married Jane Cook about 1756, before the couple migrated to Georgia where their first 5 children were born. The family moved a number of times, living in South Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, and finally to what became Wilkinson County, Mississippi where they built "Rosemont", first called "Poplar Grove." Samuel E. Davis died July 4, 1791 in Warren County, Mississippi while visiting his son, Joseph Davis. An interesting side light to the father of Rev. William Cook, who married Jean Strahan, the mother of Jane Cook Davis, is that his mother's name may have been Naomi Davis who married William Cook in Virginia. This couple migrated to North Carolina about 1744 where they owned land in Craven and Northampton counties. They had 11 children, and William Cook died in 1758 in Northampton County, Georgia, and his wife, Naomi Davis Cook died about 1772. The Rev. William Cook was their oldest child. As you can see, there is no indication that Jean Strahan was a aunt to General Nathaniel Greene in anything I have found. On the Green side, I have found one possibility, in that Patience Cooke married to Samuel Greene, born August 25, 1727, the son of Catherine Green, who was a sister of Rev.Nathaniel Greene, the father of Gen. Nathaniel Greene. I know nothing about Patience Cooke, and she would not have been directly related, but her children would have been. Hope this helps you in some way. Tom Green TBGreen3@aol.com

If anyone is researching Ala. for Greens this is a great site for land records. Also for any surname in Ala. http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/asp/queryAl.asp Mell

This is for the Red Greens. Robert Green line has been preety well documented. Robert Green marrried Eleanor Dunn and had seven sons: #1 William called Col Green, married Miss Coleman. Was vestryman of St. Marks Parish from 1749 to his death in 1770. #2 Robert married Patty Ball, died in Culpepper Co. #3 Duff married 1st Miss Thomas, @nd Anne Willis he died in Culpepper about the beginning of the revolution. His three youngest sons moved to Ky. about 1779 and later carried out their mother and younger sister. #4 John married Susanna Blackwell; was Col. in the revolution; succeeded William Green in the vestry of St. Marks Parish in 1770; was member of the House of Burgesses in 1769, died in Culpepper Co. #5 Nicholas married Elixabeth Price, daughter of Ajola Price of Orange; whose mother was daughter of Capt. William Barbour.died in what is now Madison Co., and left many children who moved to Ky. #6 James married Elizabeth Jones and died in Culpepper #7 Moses married Mary Blackwell, sister of Susanna, and died in Culpepper. Robert Green nephew of William Duff took up large tracks of land in 1712 what was EssexCo, in 1721 Spotsylvania, in 1735 Orange and in 1749 Culpepper Co. Robert Green died in 1748, his will and estate recorded in Orange Co. I have other lineage on these seven sons. Mell

I have been doing some research in Va. and in one of the Chuch records it tells when John Green died and the next in line who took his "room" (William) and when he died who took his room (Robert or John). There is alot of info in this church book on the descendant of Robert Green nephew of William Duff. William Duff estate in King George Co. Va. is eventually handled by William Green. Some of William Duff plantation was leased to James and margaret Peed. Margaret Peed is daughter to Richard Green who died in King George Co. Va. 1778. If you want these church records on these Greens that this book holds I will go to the library today and get them for you. I believe John Green son of Robert died about 1743. Mell
