Marcia, In this part of your message: "In 1795 William Washington's brother Nicholas sells land in Lincoln Co, NC. Witnesses were "Anne and Forney Green Norman." I believe that his may be the Nicholas Welch who married Margaret "Peggy" Hembree, daughter of David Hembree and lived in Pendleton Dist, SC. Peggy is dead by 1810 and most of their children end up in Lawrence Co, TN near William Welch and his wife Elizabeth Jane Hembree. Nic and Peggy's daughter Hettie / Hetty married William's son Thomas." Would you happen to know who Anne and Forney Green Norman were? My ancestor, Isaac Green, died in 1772 in SC and named his children: sons:Robert, George, John and Moses Green daughters: Alse Lansdale, Sarah Anne Norman, and Priscilla Ross Priscilla Ross is my direct line and some of her children went to Lincoln Co, NC but I have been trying to track her sisters, Alse and Sarah Anne, without a lot of luck.
