With all the recent talk about the many Greens of Carroll County, I would like to know if anybody is researching the lines of DAVID GREEN (d. 1857), and his wife LYDIA COOPER. The will of David mentions a daughter Synthia Martin, widow of Jacob Martin. Jacob and Synthia were my GGrandparents. David was probably from Montgomery County, NC. His brothers might have been Richard, Aaron, Culpepper, and William. Knox Martin The South is a land that has known sorrows; it is a land that has broken the ashen crust and moistened it with tears; a land scarred and riven by the plowshare of war and billowed with the graves of her dead; but a land of legend, a land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories. To that land every drop of my blood, every fiber of my being, every pulsation of my heart, is consecrated forever. I was born of her womb; I was nurtured at her breast; and when my last hour shall come, I pray God that I may be pillowed upon her bosom and rocked to sleep within her tender encircling arms.
