    3. Hi Bill and Steve: There may be others, but the book most people use is "Saints and Sinners at Jersey Settlement" - the Life Story of Jersey Baptist Church - by Garland A. Hendricks, c. 1964. It's in lots of libraries and on film to be ordered at the Mormon Family History Centers. I have a copy if you can not find it. I'll be glad to send you some look-ups from it, if you write to me - [email protected] My copy has no index, though I seem to recall someone else saying they had seen an index. Greens, at least mine, are on pages: 29,30, 33, 34, 35, 38, 41, 42. Hannah Green Green Baird Tompkins is on page 44,46, 52. She is my ggg-grnmother. I will post my whole Green line tomorrow, probably. It's the same as John Hawkins to this point - except his comes from her brother. Another book, which most do not know about, is "Reeds Cross Roads Baptist Church" - An arm which became a Body - by Rev. John H. Pace, Sr., c 1989. It has a lot about the Jersey Baptist Church, but not much about Greens. The first few pages give a history of churches in NC in early to mid 1700's ; then tells about how in 1795, George Reed (my gg-grandfather, a possible charter member or at least early member of Jersey Baptist Church, wanted to have a branch (or "arm" as they called it) of the church meeting closer to him so his 15 children and many slaves, and other in the community could attend easier. His wife was Martha Green, dtr. of Hannah, who was the dtr. of Jeremiah of Jersey Settlement. George Reed deeded land to Jersey Baptist Church Association for such a "arm" to be build at Reeds CrossRoads (now simply called Reeds, NC), and several members moved over to it for limited services. Later in 1838, it became an independent church on its own. In 1868 an R. S. Green is listed as clerk of Reed's Church. The Church and Cemetery are still operating. There is a memorial stone dedicated to George Reed as founder and benefactor. He also established the town which bears his name and owned much land, a freight line, and the "Red Inn" where George Washington's Boulder stands because President Washington came there to eat. If any want more about either book, write to me. Redell Reed
