Thomas Green of Prince Edward County
Another Thomas Green was in Prince Edward County in 1761 when he bought land from his father-in-law, Peter Davis. Lucy Davis, daughter of Peter Davis married Thomas Green and was the Mother of Berryman.

6 May 1760 Thomas Green received 400 acres on a branch of Terrible Creek. The acreage was described a surplus land between the Dudgeon and Fontaine farms below the Old Court House. Thomas Green owned Punch Spring at this time.

PUNCH SPRING
EARLY COURTHOUSE
http://www.oldhalifax.com/county/CourthouseHistoryCook.htm

It was first decided to establish a courthouse in the perfect center of Halifax County, but a survey showed this to be impossible, as the point was a small island in the middle of Banister River. It was then decided to hold the first meeting at "Hampton Wade's house," in the year 1752. The first officers of the county were Nathaniel Terry, sheriff; George Currie, clerk; Thomas Nash, surveyor; Clement Read, King's attorney; John Light, Joseph Faris and Abet Lee, constables; and Nicholas Hayle, Robert Jones and James Irwin, justices.

Court was held in various locations, but of interest is the period 1753-1754, when sessions were held at Punch Spring. It appears that in the rear of the house only a few feet away was a large clear spring of exceptionally cold water. With this convenience, there is said to have been no end to the fine liquor brought to this courthouse. In fact, so much was brought that a pen was built around the spring for the storage of the beverage. Mint grew wild in Virginia and this, with the fine liquor and cool water, fits in with many of the traditions of the Old Dominion. But for inaccessible roads it is probable that the courthouse would have remained at this "charm spot" indefinitely.

As to the exact location of Punch Spring we quote from the Rev. R. W. Neathery: "when I was a boy the older people of the neighborhood told me that it was located at a point on the Coles Ferry Road, just beyond where the Roberts's home is, north of Winn's Creek. If I mistake not, it is just a few hundred yards. from where the Norfolk and Western Railroad crosses the Cole's Ferry Road, on the side of Crystal Hill, not four hundred yards from the Negro church. At the time of my childhood, it was called 'Hell's Half Acre.' That makes us say 'whew', but that is true. Perhaps it was because prisoners thought it so.

"This was just a few rods from Punch Spring, the source of Winn's Creek, which is now the home of Allie Epps. It is the old Hurt place and when I was a boy, Hurt Roberts, son of T. L. Roberts, and I, used to go to see Mrs. Hurt, the mother of C. E., H. H. and John Hurt and Mrs. Moorefield. Hurt Roberts, being named for Henry Hurt, was a special object of Mrs. Hurt's interest, and we used to go there to play. Mrs. Hurt used to put her butter, milk, and other eatables in a little stone house for safekeeping. Whenever we visited there, she would go to that little house, covered with shingles, and get something for us to eat. It was called Punch Spring then, but the little house is now torn down. But the house in which the court was held, stands now." Feb. 9, 1939

Booker, John Bates, James Dillard, Archibald Gordon, George Watkins, John Donelson, Thomas Tunstall, vestryman of Antrim Parish, for £350, 794 acres on Sandy Creek, where the said Terry formerly lived, for a Glebe for Antrim Parish. THE HISTORY of PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY VIRGINIA
CHAPTER V A PART OF HALIFAX COUNTY, 1752-1767
page 5859 The domain that later was to be Pittsylvania now lay within the bounds of the great new county of Halifax, and the courthouse, after several changes, was located in the eastern part of the county. As generally happens, the place of holding court drew settlers and tradesmen, and in 1759 100 acres belonging to James Roberts, the younger, and adjoining the courthouse were laid off into a town and named Peytonsburg. The trustees appointed for the town were James Roberts, Theophelus Lacy, Robert Wade, Jr., and Nathaniel Terry. With the establishment of the courthouse and a duly constituted town in this (Pittsylvania) section, the inhabitants ceased to be so isolated and remote from the world of affairs. For the monthly court drew lawyers and men of property from other sections, bringing a touch of the outside world; while the ubiquitous trader was present at any gathering of people. The military organization of the county was effected at the courthouse, with its attendant musters to the music of fife and drum. All this added interest and color to the life of the inhabitants. [p.58] The justices of the peace appointed for the new county were William Byrd, William Wynne, Peter Fontaine, Jr., William Irby, James Terry, Nathaniel Terry, Robert Hampton, Andrew Wade, and Sherwood Walton. In the following year Thomas Dillard Thomas Calloway, Samuel Harris,Benjamin Clement,Peter Wilson and Robert Pusey were recommended to the Governor as fit and able persons to be added to the Commission of Peace, all of whom lived in that part of the county that later became Pittsylvania. Of these first gentlemen justices of [p.59] Halifax, William Byrd and Peter Fontaine, Jr., were of Charles City County; William Irby, William Wynne, and Sherwood Walton were of southside Virginia; Nathaniel and James Terry and Benjamin Clement from King William County; Samuel Harris from Hanover County; Robert Hampton, Andrew Wade, Robert Pusey, Peter Wilson and Thomas Calloway were probably from Pennsylvania.
