Robert Robinson Green, born August 10, 1811 at Kettle Creek, Cumberland County, Kentucky, died September 27, 1890 Elk Point, Union County, South Dakota. Parents and siblings are unknown!!!! 1810 census shows two Green families in the County--a Robert and a George. The best bet, based on ages of children, etc. is Robert. There are also a coup;le of land transactions in volving Robert Green, one states his wife's name is Elizabeth. The 1820 census has no Robert Green, but there is an Elizabeth Green as head of household with several children, one son in the correct age range to be Robert Rbinson Green. Cannot find on 1830 census in Cumberland County, Kentucky or Iowa County, Michigan Territory. At some point prior to July 4, 1832, Robert Robinson Green, either alone or with his family, moved to Iowa County, Wisconsin--then Michigan Territory. He settled near the town of Belmont, which is near Platteville. On the above date, he enlisted in service for the Black Hawk War for a period of one month and sixteen days. Robert Robinson Green married his first wife, Cinderella Farmer in Grant county, Wisconsin on June 11, 1834. They were the parents of (supposedly) seven children, all but one of whom died young. I have only been able to document two--a son named William R. who shows up as late as 1850, and a son Robert Allen. Robert Allen was born in 1845 and served in Company C of the 7th Wisconsin Infantry, part of the famed Iron Brigade, during the Civil War. Robert Allen was taken prisoner at the Battle of the Wilderness and died at short time later at Locust Grove Hospital, Wilderness, Virginia in May 1865. Cinderella Farmer Green died September 23, 1846. On March 16, 1847, Robert Robinson Green married his second wife, Nancy Jane Ashmore, at Hazel Green, Wisconsin. They were the parents of eight children: James Stanford, Albert Shelton, George Washington, Elize Caroline, William Robert, Ida Edith, Nancy Jeanette, and Raphael Samuel. The first six were born in Lafayette County, Wisconsin. The youngest was born after the family moved to Elk Point, Union County, South Dakota. The seventh child, my gr gr grandmother, Nancy Jeanette could have been born either place, as she was born September 1863, which is the year the family apparently headed west. I have tons and tons of information on the descendants of Robert Robinson Green and his life from 1832 onward. Before that is pretty much a mystery. Robert Robinson Green was involved in the murder of a man over a lead mining dispute in 1859. After serving about half of his three year sentence at the state prison, he was granted a complete pardon by then Wisconsin governor Alexander Randall. After moving to Dakota Territory, he served two terms on the legislature there. Hmmmm. crook turned politician???? If any one can shed any light on Robert Robinson Green's early years, you will be nominated for sainthood!!!! He has been the family brick wall for over twenty five years!!! Joni Vella
