I am also looking for GREENS. Following is the information I have. Please let me know if any of this rings any bells. I have found no concrete connections for Francis, John L., Orson or George Green but there are either many coincidences or there are some connections here somewhere. My great grandfather was Francis C. Green. Francis C. GREEN, born in England, I believe ca. 1829. That's all I know about his origin. Francis is in the 1850 census in Newark NJ, single, occupation trimmer. Francis married Catherine E. Traver on June 14, 1855 in NYC. Catherine was born and raised in Poughkeepsie. Catherine's parents were born and lived their lives in Dutchess Co. NY Two children were born to this marriage: Cora, b. April 4, 1856 and Charles F., born 1859, both b. in NY. In 1862, Francis enlisted in the 150th NY Infantry from Poughkeepsie. He mustered out on June 8, 1865 in Washington DC. His many letters home went to Poughkeepsie. In 1870 census the whole family is enumerated at Fishkill, Dutchess Co. NY. The 1880 census lists Francis, Catherine and Charles in Plainfield NJ. Francis is a carriage trimmer, his lifetime occupation. Charles is living at home and working as a carriage smith. Cora is married and gone. In 1879-1891 Francis is listed in the Plainfield NJ city directories, partner in a business with one Orson Green. The 1880 census says Orson is a furniture merchant, single, age 40, born in NY, parents b. NY. He is boarding with a family named Burke, who are from Ireland. Francis died in NYC on June 11, 1887. He is buried in Stamford CT Charles moved to Norwalk CT in about 1884 or 5. He lived there until his death in 1927. He was a carriage smith, blacksmith and foundry worker. The 1910 Norwalk says: Charles F. Green, age 50, married 11 yrs., second marriage Charlotte A. Green, age 41, wife, first marriage, 2 children born to this mother, 2 still living, b. CT, parents b. Ire. Charlotte D. Green, daughter, age 19 Pauline K. Green, daughter, age 16 Dorothy K. Green, daughter, age 9 Willa A. Green, daughter, age 3 All these daughters are listed as born in CT, fa. b. NY, mo. b. CT. I have no record of another marriage for Charles, no record for mother of the oldest two daughters and no married names for any of these daughters. John L. Green enlisted in the 150th NY Infantry with Francis. John was discharged with Francis too. John married Josephine RUSSELL in Fort Plain NY on November 23, 1854. Both said from Rhinebeck NY. Mary Jane Green, daughter, was born July 23, 1854. married name BRIELL Florence Linden Green was born December 28, 1855, died September 21, 1882. Married name BRIDGEMAN. John died in Queens, Astoria, NY on March 24, 1877, age ca. 45. He is buried in Rhinebeck NY. Josephine died May 11, 1922, Astoria NY. John was born in the US, both parents were both born in Ireland per his death certificate. John was orphaned at a young age and raised by a guardian, a Mr. Kelly. Mr. Kelly was a stockholder in the "people's Line of Steamers", NY (City, I believe) John lived in NJ, Jersey City in 1866 and 7. George Green enlisted in the 150th NY Infantry from Poughkeepsie on August 26, 1864, age 22. He mustered out with Francis and John L. I find a George Green in Plainfield NJ when Francis is, working as a waiter. I find George Green again in Norwalk CT in 1925. I don't know if these are all the same George. I have not been able to find much for George yet. I am open to any suggestions or connections. Thank you. Loreen Wells loreenwl@open.org
