Not far from where I live south of Nashville, TN is a fine old home with a marker in front yard titled "Sherwood Green". A history of the town of Nolensville states that the log and frame home was built by Sherwood Green (1766-1840). It appears that there are graves in the side yard. It states that Sherwood came through the Cumberland Gap with a surveying crew before TN became a state. He was the son of Thomas and Sarah Green of Warren Co., NC. He was paid for his work by the government with land grants amounting to thousands of acres. Green came to the area with William and Sarah Nolen and the Colonel William Christmas family. Besides building the 2 story cedar log house, Green built 17 log cabins for his slaves with the old cedar log kitchen, the smoke house and one slave house still standing ( as of 1989). In 1800, Green married Martha Christmas (1784-1828). Sherwood learned his surveying skills from Colonel Christmas who became Surveyor General of Tennessee. The Greens had 9 sons and 2 daughters. In 1829, Sherwood married Mary Ozburn Johnson and they had one son, Edward J. Green (1830-1901). Upon his death, Sherwood left each of his sons 750 acres with Edward inheriting the home. Edward fought for the Confederacy. The Green family was stil living in this home into the 1980s and may still be living there today. Although I do not know of any connection to my Green line, I offer this in the hopes that it will help someone and that one of these days more information on my Hardin Otha Green (1820-1909) NC/TN/Lubbock,TX may surface. The information presented here comes solely from a summary derived from a history of Nolensville, TN. Greg Gonzales
