Thanks for all your great information. I don't have any official documentation for the birth of Jane Green or her marriage to Patrick McCahan ... and I realize my secondary sources may be suspect. The sources I have are: one family member's 20 year old research, two McCahan websites and LDS records plus some conflicting Ancestry.com information from other Public Members. 1810 Census records show Patrick McCahan and family in Mifflin, PA. ... Jane McCahan is named in the Miflin 1830 census after Patrick died in 1826. www.mccahan.org and www.mccahan.com It seems that the specific birth date and marriage date, if accurate, must be recorded somewhere. My thinking is that if there are no church records for Jane Green's birth date perhaps her family was not affiliated with a church. But then I don't know how extensive PA church records were at that time. I hadn't considered Quaker pacifism which would affect the claim of Jane Green bringing water to soldiers on the battlefield at Brandywine if she were Quaker ... plus she was quite young to be doing this but not out of the question. I am trying to sort out the information in Robert Green's Will which does correspond with the Robert Green that I have as a possible link. However, the same problem exists with both references ... His granddaughter Jane (Sarah's daughter, spouse Neild) would not have the surname Green. I am checking on the Green names from the 1765 Chester Archives as well from the 1790 Census. Not sure where to find the best information ... LDS does have most of the names.

Joyce Please do not completely discount the Quaker origin story. Jane may have given water to wounded soldiers in her own family's farmyard as at least one story I've found indicates other Quakers did. It's awfully hard to ignore the wounded when they're right outside your door. Her age wouldn't have been a problem under those circumstances. Certainly, I don't think she would have been sent out onto the battlefield itself at the age of eight, but right around the house is a good possibility. The ban on all activity that could be construed as support for fighting may have been honored almost as much in the breach as in the observance. This was a matter of individual conscience in a lot of places. And there were Quakers who felt that they had to fight and that their faith allowed them to do so under certain circumstances. And some Quakers did file claims for reimbursement for property taken. Keep in mind that being disowned in the Quaker context did not necessarily mean shunning as practiced in some other religious groups. It meant that you could no longer speak in meeting and no further record was kept of you until you repented of your error and were accepted back into meeting. In other words, you weren't a member of meeting, but you still existed as a resident of the community. As for the relationship to Gen. Nathaniel Greene, that is probably wishful thinking as he was from Rhode Island, not Pennsylvania. I'm not sure about Col. John Greene, I think he was from Virginia. Of I were you, I'd check every Green/e within the bounds of Birmingham township and the immediately surrounding townships, whether Quaker or not. This will include checking areas that are now Delaware County and south across the state line into Delaware. Keep in mind that the Battle of the Brandywine was fought over an are that extended from Birmingham meeting house down to Chadd's Ford which is less than a mile from the state line. The Quaker records are the best, but other churches do have some existing records for that period. Happing hunting!
