Abarilla Lindsay is a name I show as being born in 1863...didn't know Joshua and Catherine/Katherine had a daughter of that name. When and where was she born, married, etc.? When and where did she die?? And how is it you're related??? And a picture of Elisha and Elizabeth Henderson Lindsay? Of course, I would be delighted! We seem to have some active interest in this family today--GREAT!!! Let's keep it going...we can ALL learn something from each other!

I feel so fortunate to have come in contact with you!!! My Father and I do most of our research at the Library in Lancaster, Oh. I have recently sent letters to all the Greens in the phone book to see if any are decendants of our Green line. I also hired a man in Virginia to dig up any info he can on Ruhama's family and any Green connections. I have been in touch with a woman who has the Bilderback Bible and have received good info from her too. Info that I have on Jacob and Delilah would be his estate papers. Which, by the way, say there was a Green family Bible in his estate. Wouldn't that be great to find? Unless it is the Bible you have? Is a lot recorded in your Bible? I know where they are buried. I have seen their tombstones. This info was all in the Green Book. I have seen it also. I know who their children are. I am also going to the patent office to research their land documents and history. Did you know the! re are two Jacob Greens that appear in the 1870 census and are nearly the same age? I haven't figured if there is a connection yet. Any idea what country we may originally be from? I have contacted a woman named Laura Bell in regard to Church records for Jacob and Delilah. She has told me she would research them, but that was in September. I don't think she is going to look for me. I am going to keep calling, though, and maybe that will net some good info. I have seen Jacobs death record and I know he died from consumption. Sorry, not much else. I look forward to talking to you more!

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/FCC.2ACE/522.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: There is so much to tell you. My mother and I started researching the Greens about 15 yeard ago. Mom actually met Robert Green who wrote the book "A Branch from the Green Tree". Bob did a great job, but there were a few errors as he discovered after the publication. All of Bob's raw data was donated to the Licking County Genealogy Society located in Newark Ohio. Mom and I spent several hours (days really) going through his files in addition to our independent research. Here's a few things we uncovered: Regnal Sr. was not born in 1706, he was born around 1724 and he was most likely one of the older men on the 1820 census in the household of John & Ruhama Green. Allen sold 160 acres of property to Jacob Green for $10. This was later sold by Jacob & wife, Delilah. Delilah would not have been married to a son of Regnal Green Sr., as she would be a niece, but it was very common for first cousins to marry. (John & Ruhama's son, Regnal, was married to Allen Green's daughter, Sarah, as was discovered in the divorce file between Regnal & Sarah. They were first cousins.) Nellie Fitzcharles or Fitzgerald was most likely Allen's second wife, if Jacob Green was his son. Allen was born in 1769 and died in 1859 in Montgomery Twp., Franklin Co., Ohio. This was in north Columbus. He was buried in a cemetery where the North Market now stands and the remains were moved, or so they say, to Green Lawn cemetery along with many others from that cemetery. About 3 years ago, while renovating the North Market parking lot it was discovered that some bodies were not moved. Regnal Green Sr. was never married to Sarah Duncan. This came from the will of Matthew Duncan who was from the Berkeley area. He willed to his sister, Sarah Greer (not Green, as previously thought) some property in Kentucky. Regnal's first wife remains unknown. The current owner of Old William Green's property along the Potomac is undergoing archealogical excavations. I have 2 of the reports. This is an ongoing project and I haven't been in touch with him for a few months. Dinah Green is the daughter of Richard & Mary Butt of Prince Georges County Maryland, which places William and Dinah in that area prior to their move to Berkeley County WV. Regnal's older brother, Joseph maried Mary McEntire and moved to North Carolina where he died before his father, William. Dinah was not the mother of Joseph, but was the mother of Regnal Green. (Richard Butt's widow, Mary, married John Metcalf around 1716 and had 3 children by Metcalf; George, Vatchel and Susan). According to a letter I have on file, the Green-Bilderback cemetery in Fairfield where John & Ruhama are buried still had visible stones in the 1930s. My Uncle Henry did some family research and he had Regnal's birth and death dates as 1724-1734. I don't know if he got this from the tombstone or not, but in the letter another cousin recommended that he visit the cemetery as there are still stones standing and one of the old-timers named Mike Burton may even remember some of the Greens. I just finished writing a book for my cousins of the Ancestors and Descendants of Frank & Laura (Green) Wolford. I'm waiting for the copyright and then will be releasing the book in a pdf file or hard copy. Hard copy will cost $25 but a CD will only cost $5. If you would like a copy please write me at my e-mail address and I will be sure to send you one. There is a lot on the early Greens, but much of the book would be about other lines. John & Ruhama are my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandparents. I have visited their property in Fairfield and also on Short Creek in West Virginia. I do have copies of their wills and inventories, all the land records I could get my hands on and a couple of court cases. I am located in Columbus, Ohio and have easy access to many of these records. I consider myself very fortunate to be so close to all this great information. Which census were you looking at that mentioned John & Henry? My Henry was born in the 1840s to John Mordecai Green and his wife, Mary Conrad. I am interested in the family of Jacob & Delilah Green. I have so little on them. Can you fill me in?

New burial site for 727 souls will be blessed I-279 excavation and archaeological tests finally over Tuesday, October 28, 2003 By Patricia Lowry, Post-Gazette Architecture Critic At 10 o'clock this morning, in an old Swiss-German cemetery at the edge of a plateau overlooking the Allegheny River, the remains of 727 people will be recommitted to the earth. It has been well over a century since their bodies were buried, 16 years since they were discovered under a North Side church parking lot, a year since they were reinterred at Troy Hill's Voegtly Cemetery. Since 1987, they have traveled from their not-so-final resting place to the GAI Consultants archaeology lab in Monroeville and to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Some of their teeth and bone marrow was sent to England for DNA analysis. The church burial records, written in archaic German script, were deteriorated and illegible, and there were no other written records or maps identifying the graveyard. Clearly the cemetery had never been moved. But why had the church eliminated all trace of it from the face of the Earth? . . . . There is no evidence that church members knew of the cemetery disturbance in 1911. Exactly how and why the cemetery was neglected and abandoned over the next 40 years was never determined, but old urban church cemeteries traditionally have been vulnerable in the competition for land. By 1911, the Voegtly Church congregation had assimilated to a point where it was beginning to lose its institutional memory. Services in English were introduced in 1913, and by 1926 Voegtly Church had been renamed the Pilgrim Evangelical Church of Pittsburgh. In 1950, the old cemetery, where there had been no burials for almost a century, was paved and graveled. . . . .
