I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for responding to my Scrap Book posts. I have made several new contacts and hope that some also was helped by the info in my little treasure. If anyone missed some of the posts or would like to have all of them for future references in case you might find a name later on, let me know and I can send all the post. I would also urge people who might have info that is similar to what I have to share it also. It has been very rewarding talking with fellow researchers and sharing info. If anybody has any questions about the Scrap Book or if you have not heard from me with a request let me know. I think I have at least contacted everyone who asked for info. Happy Hunting.

I am looking for information on Edward(ca.1735) and Florence Green. They were the parents of Jane G Woods, Elizabeth G Maxwell, Polly G Kyle, Fanny G McKoslin, Millie G Smith and Elihu Green. Edward had land on Purgatory Creek, a branch of the James River. Some researchers believe that Edward was the son Hugh. Elihu left VA and married Elizabeth Pinkston, raising his family in Madison County, Ky. Would anyone have information on this family? Michelle Greene
