    3. Greeting, I'm trying to establish a location of three families. The Greene's the Hunter's and the Alston's. Why I ask this is a letter i have that was in part taken from a family bible that belong to Philip Greene son of William Greene adn Ruth Hunter In the first two pages the author of the leter corrcetly identifies Willaim Greene and his wife Ruth Hunter as well as all of their children. In a letter dated Feb. 4th 1893 written by Mrs. Philip Greene ( Mildred Washington Sanford) from LaGrange GA. The secon part of this letter reads in part With a copy of the family record as found in the old family bible I will (write?) some other facts of the Greene family history. There lived in South Carolina before the Revolution three planters who were neighbors and citizens of means and good standing. Their names were Alston, Greene, and Hunter. A son of Mr. Hunter married Miss Alston. Their Daughter, Ruth married to Mr. William Greene in 1784. After the war of the revolution they with Elisha Hunter brother of MRs. Greene fled to Green Co GA. for safety and there in a fort their first child Lemuel was born. At the time of my marriage to Mr. Philip Greene his mother was a handsome woman of sixty one intelligent and lovely in character. Now does anyone know where these 3 family had land near each ohter and who Elisha Hunter is. In my data Ruth Hunter father is Jesse Hunter and they did have a son by the name of Elisha Hunter but that is all i have on him. please someone out there help me out here Thank you Richard Greene
