Hello Green(e)s! I'm glad to see this group here. My Green(e)s hail from Franklin County, NC, with a few in Nash and Wake Counties also. There is also a segment of my Green(e)s who moved to NY. That is the set that I have the most brick walls with, and would love to run across someone who "knows" of them! The main character in that group is Willam Green, b. ~ 1877. I don't know if he used the "e" on the end or not.

I'm trying to build back my Greene line.

Frank Anthony Greene was born 21 Feb 1939 in Ashland Wisconsin and died 18 Feb 1991 in Seattle Washington. His was father Frank Francis Greene, born 7 April 1888 in Ashland Wisconsin and died 15 August 1967 in Ashland Wisconsin.

Frank F Greene was actually born a Buza, but after his father died, his mother married (we believe) Anton Greene who was born in November 1855 in Canada. Anton's parents were Martin Greene, born 23 March 1832 in Canada, and Regina Micka.

I really want to find out more information on Anton and Martin and Regina, including any more children Martin and Regina may have had and their who their parents were and so forth.

Anything sound familiar to anyone?

Not my direct line, but my Martin ancestor was married to Nancy Caroline Neal, who was descended from Gardner Greene, b: 1736 in Rocky Creek, Cherokee Nation, GA. His wife was Margaret Coil.

When you say Martin ancestor do you mean the last name Martin? There are already several connections between the Greene and Martin families just in that one little town in Wisconsin. I would be greatly interested in hearing more about your lines ..

To give you more info about my Greene line below:

Frank Anthony Greene married Linda Prestil and had four children with her, including my mother-in-law, Wendy Greene, who married Daniel Martin. Together they had two children, including my husband. So my daughter is Martin.

My Greene's begin with (Alexander) b: abt 1181, his son Walter DeBoketon b:abt 1206 of ,,Northampton, Eng., his son John DeGreene DeBoketon b:abt 1232 ,Thomas DeGreene (Boketon) b:abt 1260 and on down the line to James Greene b:21 Jun 1626 in Warwick, Kent, Eng., married Elizabeth Anthony of Portsmouth, Newport RI, then his son John Greene b:30 Sep 1685 in Warwick, Kent , RI. The line gets quite confusing back in the English years with several each John's, James's, Richard's etc. Does anyone else descend from this line? The earliest years are very well researched but the 1600's and 1700's are a little confusing to me. It's about the time they started immigrating to America - if you have information on this line I'd love to compare and share with you.

Yes, surname Martin, sorry I didn't make that clear. The Martins lived in Hawkins County, Tennessee. When Anderson Martin, son of Aaron Martin married Nancy Caroline Neal, Nancy was of the Green family line. Anderson and Nancy migrated to Runnells, Polk, Iowa. After Anderson died, Nancy filed as an "Old Settler" but was denied because her Native American family had moved out of the Carolinas before the "Removal". They were called "Old Settlers", but Nancy did not qualify, as she could not prove her lineage to Gardner Greene, excepting oral stories. SHE knew her lineage, but because there were not sufficient records, she and her children were denied governmental monies due the Native Americans moved off their lands.

That is so interesting! What a story to put into a family history book!

Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to match up with my Greene family or even my Martin family. I'm noticing now that I didn't actually say where they were from. Both my Greene and Martin families were in Wisconsin. The Greene family came in through Canada and the Martin family came in through the UP (and probably Canada before that). As far as I know - which isn't much - they were never in Tennessee. I know next to nothing about the Greene family but I do know that the Martin family was never down there.

How odd though that there is an unrelated Greene family married into an unrelated Martin family. So so odd.

Keena:
You have your family traced all the way back to the 12th century?! That is insane!! How did you accomplish such a feat? I would love to be able to get some my family back that far. The earliest date I have is 1585. What is your secret?!

Caro; The largest part of this history was compiled long before I started genealogy - the village of Greene's Norton has a history library of the original holdings before and after the Greene's had possession. I'm LDS so many people in my family & others have researched & added to Family Search.org - I think that's a big part of the problem with the latter part of the family. Too many cooks, you know? Some are so anxious to tie into the original Greene's that some of the dates & other facts just don't seem to fit. Most genealogists would not let this happen, especially to document it, but many of the beginners don't really check out all the facts they should. Just about anyone can post a GEDcom, and whoever is researching might have many different sites to sift through. This line of Greene's supposedly ties in to Henry II of England through the wife of one of the early Greene's, and then back as far as 061, including a lot of Europe's royalty. I've run into some of biggest tangles ever; children born years after the parents deaths, the same children with the same facts listed with different sets of parents and then the polygamists after the LDS emigrated to Utah.
Much of this history is proven and documented properly, but a lot of it isn't. Most of the polygamists prefer to keep their histories private, so while the different wives and their facts ore listed, sometimes all of the children are listed with each wife?!?!
I'll work on this for awhile, then give up and work on a different family line. Someday
someone may sort it all out, but it will take more fortitude than I have. I take more pleasure in documenting even 1 person in my father's line or keeping track of our youngest generations.
But it's like a big puzzle - you can't just ignore it ....

Kenna,
I am a descendant of Dr. John Greene "The Surgeon" and Joan Tattershall of Warwick, RI. I do not have the line put into my genealogy program, and just have lots of notes written down....but would love to compare notes if you like!

Ann Marie - I'm so glad to hear from you. My records show that Dr John Greene and Joseph Green, brothers, were the sons of Richard Green & Mary Hooker, or another Richard Green, or a Peter Green. John & Joseph shared exactly the same documentary dates,and were each married to Joane Tatersalle,or Joanne (Tallershall - Tatarsole.) It makes me wonder if they were one and the same person. Joseph shows two other wives and families., but I'll have to ck to see if John does. These records are typical of a lot of the Family Search.org records, and this is where I've found a good part of my information. I sure hope that we can sort some of these things out - this is my grandmother Charlotte Udora Green's fathers line, so my mtDNA doesn't help at all - only the female line. We have to match up if we can just untangle a little. I think your information will probably be closer, because you've more than likely done hands on , more personal research. As far as I know Dr. John Green goes directly back to the Green's Norton records. I'm not familiar with the protocal on sharing information, so if you are, please lete know.

Ann Marie - I've been checking through some Ancestry.com records I have and they seem to be much more cohesive than the Family Search ones. The source citation is the Chadsey family; from Suzanne Guerra, Guerra-Tharp family. I'm so thrilled to find someone else doing this family that I'm getting ahead of myself - my apologies. By the way, it was Henry I, not Henry II of England, and looking through Ancestry.com the connection is pretty clear.

I wonder if his name was John Joseph Greene or Joseph John Greene and he just happened to go by one name or the other depending on his mood lol It's certainly quite interesting!!

Sarah Green was one of my great g. g. g. g. g. g. g. g. grandmother's on my maternal side. She was born in 1689 in Virginia and died in 1734 in North Carolina. She married John Bobbitt. I have not conducted any research on this line yet.

Keena and Ann Marie:
Oh how I wish I had such information on my Greene family .. can we just pretend it's the same family? lol

Jennifer:
Like Lorraine Bobbitt? lol
Hopefully someone here will have some information for you soon! Good Luck!

to GeneJ - I've found a little information on your Bartholomew Green. I'd be glad to share,if you like. I haven't found his ancestral line yet, but I might run into it during my other research. Let me know - I'm not sure my printer will scan for e-mails, but I can try.
Kenna Luck

I have not worked on my Green/e line very much. I've gotten back to George Washington Green Sr in Haywood County, NC. Would be happy to share what I have so far.

Hi, GeneJ - The information I have about Bartholomew Green comes from printed material I found through my public library, on Heritage Quest on line. It seems that Richard Henry Greene A.M. published booklets on several of the colonial families and a book or two, presumably when the families got larger. Also Samual A. Greene seemed to do the same. Also Henry E. Turner "The Greene's of Warwick in Colonial History". I think my favorite so far is by Lora S La Mance "The Greene Family and it's branches from A.D. 861 to A.D. 1904" - published in Floral Park, N.Y. by the Mayflower Pub. Co., 1904. (336 pages)
I have one part of a booklet, source not remembered, about Percival and Ellen Greene; they transported in the spring of 1635, were of Cambridge in 1836, and ' 'is supposed that he is a brother of Bartholomew, who settled in Cambridge in 1633. Thomas (Greene?) in his History of Printing (page 235) asserts this as a fact;
but his account of them in other respects is very inaccurate. ' There follows several pages of Percival & Ellen's history. Just found the source -" Percival and Ellen Green"
by Samuel A. Green, published 1861, 5 pages...publisher and city unknown.
The only other information I have is a paragragh in a Historical and Biographical book on historical figures in his area.
This being the only information I have so far may help open up new areas for other people to research and possibly tie in information - I certainly hope so. To me, this is a new source of information, and I'm still trying to connect the dots.
By the way, Caro and Ann Marie, if you read this, I think the Lora La Nance book sorts out the Surgeon John-Joseph problem I have quite thoroughly. Makes the wondering worthwhile - it forced me to do a little better research!

to Tina Wyatt - In the same research I just did for Bartholomew, I found references to George Washington Greene, born April 8, 1811, in East Greenwich, R.I. and George Washington Green, born March 6, 1837 in Madison, Ohio. So far I haven't found references to their families, but I'm sure it's available. Are either of these men your G.W. Greene? Or maybe ancestors or??? The name itself seems like it would stay in the family ---
Good Luck
Kenna

@Kenna- My George was born abt 1803 in Haywood Co., NC. Most of his children went on to settle in Jackson Co., NC. I think I am pretty close to connecting Jeremiah Green as my George's father. Jeremiah was married in Rowan Co., NC. That's as far as I've gotten. Some names that repeat within my Green line are Jeremiah, Silas, Isaac,Pleasant (male name). I've seen where other researchers have connected this line to a Jeremiah Green Sr in New Jersey but I have no idea if that's correct or not.

Anderson Green moved to Carroll County, GA. around 1830. He bought land
ajoining his brother William on the Little Tallapoosa River, a few miles west of
Villa Rica, Carroll County, GA. in 1830. William bought 202 acres, Lot 137, District 6, from John Brooks for $1200.00 on July 24, 1830, witnessed by
William Porter, who was possibly William's father-in-law. Since William Green
had a son named John Y. Green who was born in North Carolina in October of
1831. it is believed that the family waited until Spring of 1832 to actually move
to Carroll County. William had built a log home on a high rise overlooking the
river near the road from Villa Rica to Temple. He called this home "Sugar Hill". This home remains in the Green family today. It was remodeled and additions were made over the years--and today it stands as a beautiful example of a two story antebellum style home with farmlands and pastures surrounding it.

have my husband's 4th g-grandfather, William Green, b-06 February 1762 in Prince Edward, Virginia d- 02 March 1837 Pigeon River, Haywood County N.C. married Kizziah Patton Stroud on 09 Feb. 1781 she died 01 Aug 1849 Carroll Co. GA. He fought in the American Revolution and I have his application for his pension. Kizziah moved with her sons, Anderson and William Green to Georgia around 1832. Family states that Kizzah and William were not happy together so when her sons moved their families, she moved with them. My husband descends from William Mercer Green their son. He married Nancy Porter who died 06 Mar 1847 Carroll Co. GA.

@Liz- I don't know if your William Green ties into my Greens in Haywood County but, when I saw your post I knew I had seen the name Kizziah Stroud before. I ran across the name looking for someone else. Have you ever been to this guy, Marty Grant's website? He has info on your line.

Thanks Tina for the web site, I have not heard of it...will check it out.

Just joined and trying out the site. I have a Sarah Green or Greene (haven't determined if is with or without the "e") b: 1822 in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire who immigrated from Blackfriers Road in London, England to USA in 1855. Address was obtained from the sailing records. She gives her parents names as Richard Green and Mary at the time of her marriage in 1862 to Isaac Ferguson.

I am trying to find the ancestors of my 3rd. gr. grandmother Mary Green or Greene, She was born in the late 1700's in SC and married John Bell when she was 16 years old. They lived in Tennessee but do not know the town or county there. They later came to Georgia and were on the 1850 census in Coweta county, Ga. She moved with her daughter Mary and son-in-law James Boatright about 1855 to Carroll county, Ga. I have seen where some researchers list her father as Peter Green, but who was her mother? Mary Green Bell and Mary Bell Boatright along with James Boatright are all buried in the old Jordan cemetary in Carroll county, Ga. . If any one knows anything about Mary Green or her father Peter Green, I would love to hear from you.

I don't have much to go on but I have been looking for Kathleen Lucille Green (daughter of James and Henrietta Green) who was born 10 Oct 1878 either in Dublin city or around the Dublin area. She was a twin and was sent to live with an aunt in England as a child. She went to South Africa as a young woman to help during the Boer Wars, later married Ferguson Lepine and lived in Argentina before moving to Pennsylvania.

Looking for parents of Liz Green who married Elijah "Dink" McGinnis.

She was born 1844 probably TN.  He was born 1841 TN.

Both died in Stone/Izard Co., Arkansas.

Other surnames; Teague, Sexton, Lancaster, Pritchard, Risner/Risener
