A year ago, in desperation, I ran an ad in the Mt Vernon Register News asking for anyone who was related to the Green's in Jefferson Co to contact me and give me the furthest back they had on their family. I received a few good calls. One of them was from a man in Bluford Illinois who gave me Franklin Green's phone number in Pa. I didn't think Franklin's Green's were MY Green's, BUT I was in contact with a woman in Los Angeles who was looking for Green's also and his info appeared to pertain to her family. I e-mailed her Franklin's phone number and she contacted him. I'm sending what she sent me that she got from him. I thought it might be of interest to someone on this board. Once again, we've lost someone who spent years of his life "diggin' in bones". I hope someone in his family puts what he'd collected to good use. I live in Jefferson Co and will save his obit to see if there's a family member I can contact later and see what their plans are for his information. At the very least, I know the lady in Los Angeles has the information he sent her last year, at least I hope she kept it. HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE!!!!!!!!! SHARON RECEIVED 6-21-2000 Called Franklin Green of Pittsburgh this morning. He is the great grandson of Paulus Euriah. Franklin is son of Roy Lee Green, son of Clinton Green, son of Paulus. Anyway.....Franklin does sound like he's up there in years. His memory seemed to come in waves. He has written/compiled a book of the Greens :-) with a descendant of Charlie Green who was brother to Clinton. Franklin asked that I call him again tomorrow and he'll have information ready for me. RECEIVED 7-3-2000 Ok Sharon...you must be physic as the mailman brought me an envelope containing 48 pages from Franklin Green. It appears to focus on the descendants of Henry Green. So bear with me as I try to pull out the "lineage" information. This is just the basics. Henry born 1799 NC married Elizabeth______born 1800 VA. Their respective parents unknown. Children (all likely born Robertson Co. TN) are: MARTHA A. 1826, m. William Woodard. PAULUS URIAH (aka Paulus Euriah) born Feb 1 1829, d. Dec 13, 1870 Jefferson Co., IL.

No mention of children's names. Witnessed by Wm H. Simmons, Henry M. Richards, L.D. Munselle, and J.W. Watts. The will was filed Feb 4 1871. On Feb 23, L.D. Munselle filed an affidavit of death in which is said that PUG died on or about Dec 14 1870. On March 3 1871, Willis F. Atwood filed papers relinquishing his co-executor duties. There are some court notes included regarding this will. Mort Allen Green made a statement. Mort was born 1878, the son of James Clinton Green, son of PUG. Mort said that he (Clinton) had 5 brothers named Willie, Charlie, Rufus, Alec and John Green and two sisters Susan and Wilmouth. Rhoda raised turkeys and geese! Rhoda's obit was found in the "Campground" new column in the Mt. Vernon Daily Register of Wed Jan 24 1912. She was 78, born in TN, married "there" to Uriah Green. Surviving children (of Illinois) are Alexander, John, Mrs. Wilmeth Bodine, and Charles. The other out of state children were not listed. Info from "Roda Greens" death cert is also included. It says she died Jan 20 (conflicts with two newspaper notices by one day) in Bluford. It was filed May 28 1912 in Jefferson Co. Father listed as ______Simmons. Informant was John Robert Green. Franklin appears to have sent information regarding James Clinton, William Albert, Rufus Henry, Charles Edgar and his children William Edgar, Winnie Edna, Robert Earl, Nellie Rovis, Thomas English, Earnest Pearl, Reedy Arthur, Dewey Lee, and Effie Grace. Oh, and there are a few things about PUGs kids David Alexander, John Robert, and Charlotte. There is definately too much stuff for me to transcribe. My butt would go numb. Want copies? Franklin said he would answer my questions (which included, "Do you know of Pinkney Green?") in a subsequent letter. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 4:00 AM Subject: ILJEFFER-D Digest V01 #154 ______________________________ ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 05, 2001 1:02 AM Subject: GREEN-D Digest V01 #244
