Thanks EJ for posting this data on this couple. I had so many Green Smothers' in my database that it was getting silly! LOL It helped me get them all straightened out, so appreciate it. Like Jan, I had one of the Green's attached to Elisha (b1800) and per Jan's journal that surfaced, then that could not be correct. Also, I had one of them as being the Green B. that is buried in the Lexington National Cemetery in Kentucky (Per a past post of Karen's.).......so, that particular gentleman remains a mystery. BUT......I noticed that you said that Green B. Smothers was the fifth child of John and Rebecca's.......so, I must have their children all out of wack. Would either you or Ed care to post John and Rebecca's children? I could post what I have, but I would seriously hate to confuse everyone. I really appreciate your help, Bernie Moore-Knowles Phoenix, Arizona "I have Indian blood in me.
