Dear Abbeville List, Seeking information on a Green family who appear in the Long Canes settlement by 1768. My earliest proven Green ancestor is John Green, who was b. 21 Jan. 1768, probably in the Long Canes settlement, and d. 18 March 1837 in Bibb Co., AL. Around 1788, probably in Abbeville Co., he m. Jane, daughter of Samuel Kerr and Mary Calhoun of the Long Canes settlement. Jane was b. 8 Oct. 1768 in Abbeville Co., and d. 2 Nov. 1855 in Bibb Co., AL. I've done extensive work on John's ancestry, without being able to prove conclusively who his father was, but I have narrowed down the candidates to two men who came to the Long Canes settlement in the 1760s, and who may well have been brothers--an older John Green, and Benjamin Green. Bob Thompson recently kindly sent me a transcript of a 1798 letter of Felix Hughes of Natchez Dist., LA, to Ebenezer Miller in (Abbeville Co.?), which notes that Thomas Marston Green, with whom Hughes was then living as a tutor for his family, was asking about John Green. This is evidently my John Green, who had moved over by that time to Pendleton Dist., where he settled on the east side of the Keowee near his wife's uncles John Ewing Colhoun and Gen. Andrew Pickens. It seems possible that Thomas Marston Green was related to the John Green family. I have quite a bit of information on my Green family in Abbeville Co., and will gladly share it with anyone interested in this family. I'd also be happy to hear from anyone with information to share.
