Upon William's death, his widow, Amey Claye, quickly remarried and there was a nasty custody battle in the local court. Most likely this was prompted by attempts to control the significant inheritance of his children, all of whom were minors. I believe that the Thomas who was awarded custody was not William's son but was his elder brother Thomas. Another of William's brothers, Abraham, was Justice of the Court and a local squire. The William who eventually got the property married his daughter, Obedience. Filmer moved to Tennessee. Charley Green "Lewis Green, by deed made in Granville County, NC, conveyed his rights to the property lying on the east side of Green's Road in Amelia County. This was described as a 1/5 part of the estate of William Green dec'd. The conveyance was made to William Green (his brother)." >> Hi Charley, Yes, I have seen the information you posted above, and would like to prove what you have is correct. I have never seen anything to document that Lewis Green was the son of Filmer and Ann Green. I do have a copy of the 1792 abstract of the will of the William Green who married his 1st cousin, Obediance Green, which menions his nephew, William Green the son of Philmer Green. Do you know of any documentation showing that a Lewis Green was the brother of this William Green? I have seen the July 24, 1800 land deed where Green Williamson sold land that was "1/5 part of land left unwilled by William Green, deceased, and which falls to said Williamson as heir at law." I believe that this Green Williamson was the son of Martha "Patty" Green the sister of Filmer and William Green, who were the sons of William and Amey Clay Green. I show that Martha Green married William Williamson, and have therefore ASSUMED Green Williamson was their son. There is also a October 24, 1804 land deed where John Green sold his 1/5 (same wording as above) to William Green. It is my opinion that this John Green was the son of Thomas and Martha Green the elder brother of Filmer and William Green, therefore a nephew of the William Green who was buying up "the old home place." These are the only two documents that I have seen that MIGHT prove who all there Greens were. Can you add anything else to the picture. Thanks for your help! Tom Green
