Hi, I am Brian Green doing research on the Green family of Armstrong County, a Daniel Green, and his brother William Green and three sons, that settled in Manor Township and North Buffalo Township in the 1790s, and “my own Green line”. I have the William Green family line forward two generations and backward to northwest New Jersey and England. I have not much on Daniel Green except his possible sons Thomas and a Richard. My challenge is to relate my line to these Greens as I have many indications but not the “missing link”, a common situation. My related Armstrong family is the McCulloughs. I have a number of the Armstrong County reference books particulary Smith’s History, maps, and publications relating to the iron industry and the OIL industry in western Pennsylvania. These I can share with others on lookups. I am also close to the US Geological Survey and know their resources regarding old maps and publications on the oil drilling industry and the iron furnances in Armstrong and Clarion Counties. My Green line of starts in 1847 with the birth of my ggrandfather William F. Green to Margaret McCullough and John Green at Wattersonville, Washington Township opposite the Reb Bank Furnace on the Allegheny River. This location is two townships north of the Greens in North Buffalo Township. Questions I have that you collectively may help on are: Does a biography exist on Thomas McCullough, founder of the Red Bank Furnace in the 1840s, or a genealogy of his family?” He may be father to my gggrandmother Margaret McCullough. I am looking for links to a genealogy on a “Rebecca Green” who appears in the 1830 Census in Sugarcreek Township with the right mix of children for one to be my gggrandfather John Green? Smith’s history records a John Green as a settler in the area Rebecca lived about 1825-1832, but also says “he left”. This “John” could be my link to the William or Daniel in North Buffalo Township. Does anyone know the location of copies of the “Oil Man’s Journal” a weekly publication in Parker City during the 1870s? Greens appear in the 1876 Armstrong County Atlas by Pomeroy in Hovey Township. Their names, J. Green, W. Green, and a John Green, appear next to houses and oil wells just north of Parker City. My ggrandfatherWilliam F. Green was a driller and could be one of the Greens in the Atlas. He later lived in Rimerton and then followed the oil fields to Washington and McDonald, Pennsylvania in Washington County. Does anyone know the location of copies of “The Independent” a publication in East Brady by a Col. Young during the 1870s. My John and Margaret Green appear in the 1850 Federal Census and in Armstrong tax records during the 1850’s. In the 1860 Census a possible William F. age 11 with the Samuel Craig family and a possible younger brother John age 2 with the John Earle family appear as bound out children in Madison Township not far from Redbank. William later appears in the 1870 in East Brady as a 21 year old living with a Pontious family. I have the line from William forward to me but, as above, not back beyond 1847. I have more on my line and more on the William and Daniel Green lines but this is enough maybe get something going. One thing that may be of interest to some is the William Green story that he served in the Revolutionary War. It is entirely true!! But, “he was a Loyalist” and this may surpise some.
