Bill >> Hi Bill, In 1761 Thomas Green purchased land in Prince Edward County, Virginia from his father-in-law Peter Davis. For years I have thought this Thomas Green was possibly the father of my William Green born there February 6, 1762, but the documentation I have found seem to indicate I am incorrect. There is a mention in the William and Mary Qarterly that a William Green may have been the father of this Thomas Green. Most of the early Green marriages in Prince Edward County are children of this Thomas Green who first married Ann Barryman and they had one son named Barryman Green. After Ann Barryman Green died, Thomas then married Lucy Davis, the daughter of Peter Davis, and they had a number of children. Let me know if I can provide additional info on this family. Tom Green My William Green named his first son Thomas S. Green, so the naming patern seems correct, doesn't prove anything.
