    1. Re: [GREEN-L] Robert Green - VA
    2. In a message dated 98-09-15 10:27:04 EDT, you write: << Tom, in which county was Robert Green living? Are you sure he is the same Robert Green that was in the Revolution, you realize if he was born in 1695, he would have been over 80 during the Revolutionary War? Also what do you know about his son John Green? Louise >> Hi Louise, The first Robert Green, born 1695, did not fight in the American Revolution, as he died in 1748 in Orange County, Virginia. His son, Col. John Green formed a division in Culpeper County, Va. and covered the retreat of General Nathaniel Greene at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse March 15, 1781. He died November 18, 1793 in Culpeper County, Va., but his body was moved to Arlington Cemetery. Some of the other younger sons probably also fought in the Revolition, as did some of the grandsons of the older sons. Tom Green
