Beth, Louise, Tom and others interested in this line. I am a descendant of James, one of the 7 sons of Robert Green, known as the "Red Greens" of Culpeper Co. VA. I can supply some information on James and his brothers which I will post below. I have been pleased to see that there are a small number of us interested in this line. I would like to know who all of you are, and would appreciate your identifying yourselves so that perhaps we can pool our information more effectively. While there are a number of genealogies available on this line, they are all woefully short on dates, and other details. I would like to compare notes with everyone in this group as to what they show and what their sources are. If you tell us your descent (assuming you know it), it might also help the rest of us to know where your principal interest lies. I suggest we identify ourselves under the subject, “Red Greens” which some of you are already using for the purpose of quickly being able to identify that a post concerns this branch of the Green family. There are so many Green/e lines out there it is sometimes not easy to identify quickly which posts might be of particular interest to us. Although I have information on many others in this line, let me start by posting what I know about James, the 6th son of Robert Green and Eleanor Dunn: 1.6 Major James Green, (b. 1734, d. after 1792) m. 1/28/1782 Elizabeth Jones Elizabeth was a sister of Maj. Gabriel Jones (1664-1777), not to be confused with another Gabriel Jones known as the “Valley Lawyer,” with whom there has never the less been great confusion. Our Gabiel Jones was a vestryman in Fredrick Parish. He was a minuteman and fought in the battle of Great Bridge, the first Revolutionary battle in VA. He was listed as one of the officers of Marines during the Revolution. He was also listed as Captain of the Virginia Troops in the Continental Line. From May 1 through Sept. 1791, he was a member of Capt. John Morris’ company of rangers for the defense of the Western Frontier, County of Kanawha VA (now WV). (from “Gabriel Jones (1724-1806) and Some of his Descendants” by Brown, Chappel, and Myers which was a book about the Valley Lawyer, but on p. 30-31 had a short section on the genealogy of our Major Gabriel Jones, "the other Gabriel Jones”) He probably became Major after the war. His will was probated in Culpeper Court House, Aug 23, 1809. (“Green Family of Culpeper Co., VA” by A.A. Lewis of Fredericksburg VA 1939-40.)
