My line descends through GERARD GREEN (born in VA 1761-died in Harrison Co., KY 1845) and his wife Verlinda Littleton. GERARD GREEN was a veteran of the Revolution who migrated to Harrison Co., KY (earlier a part of Woodford Co.) by 1789. He was the son of JAMES GREEN who died in Loudoun County, VA in 1796 and his wife Frances who died in Fleming Co., KY in 1815. In researching my GERARD GREEN I have repeatedly run across GARRETT/GARROD GREEN in nearby Madison Co. & Estill Co. (adjacent to Madsion on the southeast), KY. After years of research, I have found no connection between them, despite the similarity in names, unless both families are connected to a very early Gerard/Garrett/Garrod Green found in the early 1600's near Jamestown, VA. As yet, however, I have been unable to link my line to that very early Garrett Green. However, I have corresponded with several people who are researching the Madison County GARRETT GREEN; the notes they have shared with me contain several intermarriages with members of the Henderson family, and many descendants moved, after 1830, to the area of Missouri you mention. You are probably already in contact with these folks, and probably already have these notes. But if you would like me to forward what I have to you, or forward your query to them, just let me know (the notes are rather lengthy or I would just do it now). Their notes would indicate that your JOHN GARRETT GREEN and his wife MARY POULTEN were first cousins. They think that JOHN GARRETT GREEN was the son of HENRY GREEN and that MARY POULTEN was the daughter of Issac Poulten and ANN GREEN. HENRY GREEN and ANN GREEN POULTEN were the children of GARRETT GREEN who was born in VA in 1740 and died in Garrad Co. KY (right next to Madison Co.) in 1810. In addition to family intermarriage, it should always be remembered that unrelated, but nearby families intermarriaged extensively because of the sparse population on the frontier and the difficulty of travel. Could your Leonard Green and Sarah Green be siblings who married Henderson siblings? If not siblings, surely Leonard and Sarah are cousins of some degree. By the way, the name Leonard does not appear in my Harrison or Fleming County, KY Green families. Let me know if I can be of help. Georgia Green Stamper Georgia Green Stamper
