Re: >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. Richard, do you have names and dates of any other children after Lemuel? I have this William Green, born in GA about 1792, who would be the right age to be the son of your William Greene and Ruth Hunter. Any allied families by the name of Hill? 1850 Scott Co., IL, census: Green, William 58 M GA (d. bef. 1858, Newton Co., MO) Margaret 46 F SC Robert F. 20 M IL Mary E. 17 F IL Milinda C. 14 F IL Wm. McD. 10 M IL (Died 1864, Peachtree GA) Lydia M. 8 F IL (Margaret Lydia, m. John Lopeman) John W. 5 M IL (maybe John Willard) Margaret had 3 older children by first husband Hill, 2 girls and 1 boy. Robert, Mary and Malinda should have had the last name of Hill. It is unknown if William was previously married. Since Malinda was born abt. 1836, William and Margaret must have been married after that, probably in IL, and before 1840 when Wm. McD. was born. Family believed to be part Cherokee.
