    3. To Penelope zibby@family-net.net and others researching GREEN/GREENE in Crawford County. Here are the references I found to that surname in the "History of Crawford County, PA, 1885." On page 1048, in the Biographical Sketch section for Spring Township: "Ritner H. Sturtevant, farmer, PO Springboro, was born in this township September 26, 1832; son of Daniel W. and Susan Sturtevant, the former a native of Norwich, Conn. They came with their family in 1818 to this county, where they bought and cleared the farm in Spring Township now owned by F.F. Dewitt. They were parents of five children, all now living. The father died August 20, 1865; his widow resides in Springboro. Our subject, the eldest in the family, received a good common school education, and taught school in his younger days for eight terms. He was twice married, on the first occasion to Adeline A. Kendall, a native of Vermont, who bore him one child - Ida E., now wife of John C. GREEN. Mrs. Sturtevant dying November 11, 1861, our subject married, October 12, 1862, Margaret Joslin. Two children were born to this union: John F., on the New York & Pennsylvania Railroad, and Floy E. Mrs. Sturtevant is an adherent of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a member of the State Legislature two terms and previously held almost every office in the township, including that of Justice of the Peace for over five years; was Assistant Assessor of Internal Revenue for the Twentieth District of Pennsylvania, during 1869 and 1870." On pages 1092 and 1093, in the Bio Sketch section for Titusville: "Robert G. Eddy, grocer, 311 W. Spring Street, Titusville, was born in Venango County, Penn., in April, 1852; son of Luke and Sarah (GREEN) Eddy, who came to Venango County, Penn., from New York State, in an early day. They were parents of eight children, seven now living. Luke Eddy, who was a farmer and carpenter, is deceased. Our subject attended the public schools for a time, also the Main Street High School at Titusville, Penn. He was married in 1872, in Meadville, Penn., to M. Delsenah Proper, born in August, 1853, in Venango Township, this county, daughter of D.D. and Elizabeth (Grove) Proper, of German lineage; former a farmer and oil producer. They were parents of five children, of whom Mrs. Eddy is the eldest. She was educated in the seminary at Clarksville, Penn. Mr. Eddy has carried on a grocery business in Titusville since 1874, and has met with well-merited success." On page 1145, in the Bio Sketch section for Woodcock Township: "Cornelius A. Carringer, miller, PO Long's Stand, was born in Mercer County, Penn., December 7, 1834, and is a son of Henry and Nancy (Feathers) Carringer, and grandson of Martin Carringer, a native of Germany, who settled in what is now Perry Township, Mercer County, in 1799. He was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, serving under Gen. Anthony Wayne. Our subject was reared on a farm and followed agricultural pursuits in Mercer County till 1875, when he came to this county, locating in Woodcock and purchasing the property known as the Old Dickson Grist Mill, the first built in t his county, and has followed milling ever since. Mr. Carringer has been twice married, on the first occasion February 10, 1859, to Nancy E., daughter of Wesley and Nancy (Donaldson) Green, of Lawrence County, Penn., who bore him four children, two now living: Nanie J. (wife of Charles Shrubb) and Clara E. (wife of Ira Wygant). He was again married, July 17, 1871, to Nancy E., daughter of William and Elizabeth Donaldson, of Lawrence County. Since purchasing, Mr. Carringer has built an addition to the mill, 16x28, making the total size 28x53 feet. He is a member of the K. of H.; in politics a Republican."
