Hi Linda: Can you double check the heritage article? There is a Greene Co. NC(formed 1799 from Glasgow) and named for Gen. Nathaniel Greene. He fought the Battle of Guilford Court House which saved North Carolina from the British. Greene Co. is in the eastern section of the State and is bounded by Pitt, Lenoir, Wayne and Wilson counties. Greenwill Co. never existed to my knowledge. Also cannot find Moven NC on state map or Mapquest. Maybe disappeared. Any children listed for Robert T. Scott and Elizabeth Ann Parsons?
