Listmembers: I posted this information a couple of weeks ago, so sorry for the repeat, but thought I would jump in here again while we are doing a roll call. This Greene line is my maternal great grandmother's line. I also have two other Green lines belonging to my husband's side of the family. I will post those separately. I've been on the Green list for several years now. I've been working pretty diligently on this Greene line as it is "local" for me. Colonial records in western North Carolina are few and far between. I'm also working with a "defunct" county (Tryon) so their records were spread around to several other counties.   I would like further information or contact with anyone else researching the following line: William Greene b. ca 1725 possibly Rhode Island                       d. ca 1770  North Carolina   + Nancy Justice b. ca 1730 possibly Rhode Island      m. ca 1749  Mecklenburg/Tryon County, NC?      2nd m. Thomas Potter ca 1771 1)  Jarvis Greene b. ca 1750 d. 19 Aug. 1782 Battle of Blue Licks, KY     +  Sarah Griggs b. Wales (children:  John, William Griggs, and Nancy Elizabeth) 2)  George Greene b. 1755-1760 d. Menard Co., IL bur. Clary's Grove Cem.      +  Lucy Jones 13 March 1784 (had 11 children) 3)  James Greene b. ca 1760 d. 1821 Bond Co., IL bur. Greene Cem.      + Sarah Hix d/o Richard b. 1772 d. 1846 (14 children) 4)  Mary Greene b. Jan. 1755 d. 1827 Madison Co., IL      + John Rotan/Rattan/Rottan Oct. 1775 ( 8 children) 5)  Esther Greene b. ca 1757 6)  Nancy Greene b. 6 Feb. 1768 d. 1856 Menard Co., IL      + Robert Armstrong 22 June 1787 (10 children) 7)  unknown sister Greene      + Absalom Matthews Sr.   Sons Jarvis, James, George and son-in-law John Rottan all fought in the Am. Rev. in Capt. Robert Porter's Co., Tryon County, NC, 1777.  Son-in-law Robert Armstrong was also an Am. Rev. War veteran.  More details are available for the children.    I have also come across information that the mother of Thomas Potter, second husband to Nancy Justice Greene Potter was a Phebe Greene who may be the daughter of Job Greene b. 1656 Warwick, RI.     If anyone has any Green/Greene line in western North Carolina during the time period of 1750-1770, please contact me.  Also, anyone with roots in the New Salem/Menard County, IL area.  This family had contacts with Lincoln at that time.   I will look forward to hearing from anyone!
