Sharon Roach at :froach598@juno.com >> Hi Sharon, I am not sure what Green you and your friend are discussing, but I thought I would give you a little Green data from my family. My William Green was born February 6, 1762 in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and the next information I have on him is when he was being drafted into the Hillsboro, Orange County, North Carolina Militia in 1779. As you can see my William Green would have been about 17 years old, at the time, and I have ASSUMED that he moved from VIrginia to Hillsboro with his parents. Several of us have been attempting to identify his parents, and have been researching all the Greens living in Orange County in the 1770s. Our best guess is that a John Green that is mentioned in several Orange County, NC land deeds is PROBABLY the father of my William Green. Hope this helps you. Let me know if I can provide any other information. Tom Green TBGreen3@aol.com
