    1. Giles Green (1800 VA to 1881 KY)
    2. Frankie Perry
    3. Giles (gravestone says "Jiles") Green, b. ca 1800 in Virginia, d. 1881 in Johnson County, Kentucky, was my great-great-great-grandfather, through his son Thomas, b. 1820 VA. Several questions have arisen concerning Giles/Jiles. If you have information that would help clarify these, I would appreciate hearing from you. 1. Who was Giles's first spouse? W.C. Kozee in "Early Families in Eastern and Southeastern Kentucky", p. 275, lists his first wife as "Katie Chandler", and states that Katie is probably the d/o Thomas Chandler. John Chandler in "Descendants of William Chandler Born 1700, Died 1747/8 in Amelia County, VA" gives her name as "Catherine (Katy) Chandler"(p. 26). A review of three of his children's death records show the name of their mother as "Nancy Chandler". A gravestone was found that appears to read "Nancy, wife of Jiles Green, born June 18, 1799, died Jan 18, 1845". Does anyone have any other documentation that would clarify the name of Jiles's spouse: Nancy Chandler, Katie Chandler, Catherine "Katy" Chandler, or ??? (His second spouse was Margaret Ghent Yates, a widow.) 2. Were Giles and Enoch brothers? Kozee and Chandler, in the above listed sources, state that Giles and Enoch are brothers and that they married sisters. (Enoch married Elizabeth Chandler, d/o Thomas Chandler in Cabell Co., VA on April 17, 1831. (Other sources list Elizabeth's name as Margaret Elizabeth and Mary Elizabeth. His second wife was named "Margaret>) Both Giles/Jiles and Enoch came to KY and ended up living on Hoods Fork in Lawrence County -until the formation of Johnson County when Jiles/Giles' land became part of Johnson. The question has arisen as to what documentation there is that the two men are brothers. Does someone else have info on this? 3. Who was William Green, the father of Giles? A marriage record has been found for William Green and Judith Ann Gordon, with bond signed by Giles Gordon, February 2, 1792 in Campbell Co., VA. Judith's death is recorded in Lawrence Co., KY on Hoods Fork in 1856. Can anyone tell me any more about William?
