I'm hoping that you could give me a clue on the search for my ancestor. I am looking for information on a Ruth Green. We have no idea where or when she was born, although we believe it was somewhere around 1840. We do know that she was married to George Parsons sometime prior to 1865 (the date their first child was born). Her first child was born in Rowan (now Guilford) County, North Carolina. We are desperately searching for her parents, siblings, birthdate, marriage date, basically any information at all. What I've listed is all the information we have for her. Our research on our Parsons line has stalled with George Parsons and Ruth Green. If they followed the naming patterns of the time, chances are her parents would have been William and Mary (but, again, that's ONLY if they followed the naming patterns). We are hoping that if we can pin down when they were married and where, we can break open this HUGE brickwall we've come to. Any help on any Ruth Green born between 1830 and 1850 you may have in your data base would be extremely appreciated. Thank you for your time. Krys (Parsons) Abrao
