Hey y'all, I'm just casting a wide net to see what, if anything, I can catch on this one. <grin> I'm looking for any info on a Ted Greene (Ted is most likely a diminutive name). He was a 2 or 3 time great uncle by marriage, and the name of his wife may have been Peggy (although that may be a nickname/family name). I believe that they may have had one daughter and no sons. I don't know where he was born, but most of his adult life was in, or had ties to the Rootwalker area; particularly the Cheatham, Robertson, Sumner County areas. I don't have birth or death dates, but I estimate they could be anywhere from 1890 to 1970 or so. Oral family lore has always said that he was a "bounty hunter". That's a pretty vague term, both then and now, but I'm hoping that it might be a productive clue. I do have some physical evidence of that, including a set of ankle manacles, presumably used on prisoners. One of the rings has a distinct mark, purportedly from someone trying to use a file to cut through the manacle. In addition, recently, while going through some family items that had long been stored, I came across a small pistol that had belonged to him. My daddy always said that it was Uncle Teds "boot gun". I am working on tracing the gun, but am finding that doing that is even harder than tracing family connections ! <grin> The gun is in poor condition, and as yet, I can't quite make out the manufacturer mark or name. I do know that it's nickel plated, has a 5 round cylinder and has very, very ornate engraving. It could have been a mass-produced piece, but the very ornate design makes me think that it might have been a customized design, perhaps done locally. So, I would be interested in any info about gunsmiths who may have worked in the Rootwalker area in the early 1900s or so. I would also appreciate any info on the Greene name in the Rootwalker area, and also any info or suggestions on leads about "bounty hunters" in and around the Rootwalker area. Given the approximate dates that I'm working with... I think that he would have been active during Prohibition, which might lead to some interesting stories or connections. As always, thanks for any and all input. :) Be well, Suzanne P.S. Please take a minute to remember that while we spend time researching our past, there are folks who are dying to protect our future. <smile>
