I'm not researching the George Green family but remembered the name from some deeds involving my Lindseys: Rutherford Co. NC Deed Books (abstracted by Margaret Lindsey Smith]) Deed Books 4-6, pp 19-20. Deed #68. 7 Oct 1794 George Green sold to James Wm. Lindsay & Caleb Lindsay, for 130 pounds, 100 acres on both sides of Green River. Patent originally granted to Preston Hampton 6 Oct 1770. Deed Book 15-17, pp 265-266. ? Apr 1800, recorded 17 Jul 1801. Carlton Linsey sold to John (or Jane?) McClerkin, 50 acres on branches of the north fork of White Oak Creek waters of the Green River bounded by Green, patent originally granted to Jechonias Taber in1795 by Governor Richard Dobbs. Witnessed by Martin Edwards and Micajey Linsey. Deed Book 20-21, pp 113-114. 14 Apr 1803, recorded 20 May 1803. Carlton Lindsey of Rutherford Co. to Jonathan Harris of same. For$50 land on "north side of Green River on Big Branch." 20 acres originally granted to Geo. Green. Buildings, orchard, etc. There were a number of references to Green River, which may or may not have been named for the Green family. I hope this helps! Margaret Lindsey Smith
