There are many Greenberrys. One born about 1791 in SC was the oldest son of Benjamin Waldrup and Ailsy Huggard. Greeenberry died in 1854 in DeSoto, Ms. Married Eliabeth. His son Henry, like himself, was a minister in DeSoto. Greenberry's brother Major Waldrop named his son Greenberry, and these two Greenberrys have often been confused. > > What does it mean when a person is name Living? > That means that person is still alive.

When I challenged him with proof some of his data was wrong, he replied that was not his problem. It was up to the individual to check it out on his own. You would be wise not to rely on anything on his web site. > Green Berry has a brother named Ezkiel Waldrop. > Yes. This Green Berry Waldrop is he related to the Hicks line. No. See note above. > > > > Ezekle Waldrop in the Hicks line, is he an entirely different line of > Waldrops? > I do not know which Ezekiel is in his line because I do not know which line i his. I doubt it is Benjamin's line, though.. I would ignore any and ALL of Hicks data. > I haven't been into the Waldrop line long enough to know the split between > the the two. I am trying to understand these lines. There are a lot of Greenberry Waldrops and a lot of Ezekiel Waldrops.It is easy to confuse them. You have to go by time, location and relatives. Censuses are the best guide for relatives, but not for birthdates and places. > > Who is Bodie who is with Green Berry , Benjamin and Asley in Gwennette > County, Georgia in 1828? > I have no idea.
