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?
