Any help on this or possible connections would be appreciated. Thanks, Misti Moss mdmoss@pnx.com >> Hi Misti, This is not my direct line but could be connected somehow. I have recently heard from someone else researching this line - here is the message I got from Elaine: Reply-to: eeroosz@flash.net To: DCarey7524@aol.com Hello Dee, I also have a Crabtree line and a Green line. My Crabtree Thomas Crabtree was from Tazewell Co. VA married Susannah Mitchell about 1820s in Tazewell. He then moved to McMinn County, TN where he purchased land in the 1830s. But after Susannah died he married an Easter Green. Her father was William Green and her mother was probably named Mary Jane. They also had a son William Jackson Green who was born in Wythe Co. VA and served in the Civil War. I don't have any other information about this Green family. There was an Abner Green in McMinn County about 1830 or 1840 and I believe he may be connected to this family. Do you have any information that might give clues to this family? Elaine The abstract of the marriage record I saw showed her name as Eastes - and I'm sure who ever took it down just couldnt read the writing. I have also seen where a lady who was named Easter was sometimes shown as Esther or Hester. So you might try that. I do not know who Thomas Crabtree's parents were at this point. I also don't have anything on William and Mary Jane Green. I will be sure to let you know if I find anything. I have Greens and Crabtrees in VA - I'm stumped on my Greens and I collect all Crabtrees. Happy Hunting, Dee
