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.
