• Notes

  HalifaxCo VA Plea Book No 2, Part 2, 17 mar 1759 (51) p. 358 William Drew is appointed Surveyor of the new road leading from John Tucks to Sparrow?s foard on Terrible Cr, and it is ordered that he, with the male laboring tithables following, to wit, those belonging to Thomas Green, Gent, Almon Gwin and his, Jeremiah Stevens, John Eckhols, Joseph Shaw, John Sparrow, and John Ashlock, do forthwith lay open, clear and keep the sd road in repair 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 Taken from HALIFACTS, written in 1941 by Dr. B. B. Barbour Thomas Green living in Halifax Co. 17 Mar 1759 HalifaxCo VA Plea Book No 2 Part 2 17 mar 1759 (51) p. 358 William Drew is appointed Surveyor of the new road leading from John Tucks to Sparrow?s foard on Terrible Cr, and it is ordered that he, with the male laboring tithables following, to wit, those belonging to Thomas Green, Gent, Almon Gwin and his, Jeremiah Stevens, John Eckhols, Joseph Shaw, John Sparrow, and John Ashlock, do forthwith lay open, clear and keep the sd road in repair 1758 - Thomas Green and Peter Irby took by order of worshipful court the just and full sum of 16 pounds of good and lawful money of Virginia for building a good and well fixed bridge, at least ten feet broad, and in good repair for the term of seven years.

He died about 1799 at the age of 72 in ,Prince Edward, VA. no long listed on the Prince Edward co VA tax lists He was buried about 1799 in ,Prince Edward, VA. Thomas Green's birth location is from an interview given in 1834 by his youngest son, James Independence Green (see James' notes) Thomas first appears in the records of Prince Edward county, VA as one of the people in the tax household of Peter Davis, his father-in-law. His marriage is interpolated from the birthdate of his oldest son, Berryman Green, always called grandson by Peter Davis, when primogeniture was in effect in Virginia, which meant grandson by blood. Thomas' children are listed in the order they are presented in Peter Davis' will. Their ages are interpolated from their release of guardians, first appearance on tax rolls, and census data. Thomas' death date is approximated from his disappearance from the tax rolls of Prince Edward co VA. Thomas Green's presumed father is from the match of his 3rd great-grandson, Harold Green, to a descendant of John Green, of New Kent co VA. A January 1786 Chancery Court law suit in Prince Edward county, VA, states that daughters, Rosanna Green and Lucy Wade, were of age, meaning they were at least 18; that Parish, Peter, Davis, Liberty and James were not of age, meaning they were still under 21. Parents: John GREEN and Elizabeth . Spouse: Lucy DAVIS. Lucy DAVIS and Thomas GREEN were married about 1752 in ,Amelia, VA. this date is a guess, based on the birth of their first son, Berryman Green, on 31 Jan 1753 Children were: Berryman GREEN, Thomas GREEN Jr., Parrish GREEN, Rosanna GREEN, Peter GREEN, Lucy Davis GREEN, Catherine GREEN, Davis GREEN, Elizabeth GREEN, Liberty GREEN, James Independence GREEN.

Other Greens of Amelia County Several Greens were in Amelia County in the 18th Century and we cannot identify who they all were. Distinguishing the Thomas Greens is impossible. John Green, Thomas Green, and William Green had sons named Thomas and apparently others also were in the county. In 1782 Amelia County listed one Thomas Green head of a household of four whites and six blacks and another with six whites and three slaves. The Thomas Green with four whites was living probably near Winticomack Creek. By 1785 three Thomas Greens were in Amelia County. Here is what we know about them. Thomas Green (?1794) [G.G1] One Thomas Green was living in Amelia County in March 1744 when he bought 200 acres from Joel Meadows. Records depict him as Thomas Green of Raleigh Parish. Thomas Green, an illiterate carpenter , held 390 acres on Winticomack Creek in June 1747 and the next year, as Thomas Green Sr., conveyed a 200-acre portion to Thomas Green Jr. who was perhaps Thomas Green, son of William Green. During January 1757/8 Thomas Green and his wife, Martha ?, sold this 200 acres on Winticomack Creek to David Hawks. Thomas Green married Martha Coleman, the daughter of Daniel Coleman. Coleman, who had lived nearby, died in Amelia County (will dated 9 Mar. 1782 , recorded 26 Feb. 1789) and called a daughter Martha Green in his will. Both this Thomas Green Sr. and William Green had land on Winticomack Creek in Amelia County. When William Green died, Thomas Green became guardian of several of William?s children and Thomas Green Jr. was a surety on the orphan bond they made in October 1749. Amelia County commissioned Thomas Green a militia officer in February 1756. In 1765 Thomas Green of Raleigh Parish sold 25 acres on Winticomack Creek to John Old. Robert Taylor Jr. sold Thomas Green 400 acres in September 1749 which Green sold to John Tabb in December 1757. In August 1750 Thomas sold 54 acres on the branches of Stocks and Sandy Creeks to James Loving. With wife, Martha, he sold 100 acres on Long Branch of Winticomack to John Coleman in October 1764. In May 1773 Thomas Green the Elder with wife, Martha, sold 78 acres on Winticomack Creek to John Bolton. It was probably this Thomas Green who appeared briefly in Halifax County. He was a lieutenant in May 1758 and was promptly promoted to captain in August 1758. In August 1759 Halifax County agreed to pay Thomas Green to build a bridge over the Banister River and keep it repaired for five years. He perhaps was identical to the Amelia County carpenter. In April 1760 Thomas Green bought 1,100 acres on Terrible Creek in Halifax County from Peter Fontaine and in June 1763 he bought 800 acres on the branches of Difficult Creek from Abraham Smith. Green sold 600 acres of the Fontaine purchase to Robert Mann in June 1765. Green?s wife, Martha, lived so far away, the justices sent two citizens to take her acknowledgment of her dower right. On 10 October 1768, Thomas Green ?late of Halifax and Parish of Antrim? sold out to Richard Apperson. He had about 1,615 acres at the head of Winns Creek and about 74 acres elsewhere. Abraham Green Jr. and William Wills Green were among the witnesses to the deed. Martha Green relinquished her dower right ten days later. When Richard Apperson sold all this land to Matthew Sims in 1785, the deed described the land as ?whereon the old Courthouse now stands and where the Court is now held.? The county clerk recorded a will for a Thomas Green in Amelia County (will dated 15 Oct. 1794 , recorded 22 Jan. 1795). Thomas mentioned his wife, Martha, and named his brother-in-law Daniel Coleman an executor of his will along with ?friend? Col. Abraham Green. Thomas signed his will ?T.? They appraised his estate on 16 November 1795. Known son of Thomas and Martha (Coleman) Green: John Green [G.G1.1] was identified in his father?s will. Abraham Green [G.G1.1.1] died in Amelia County (will recorded 24 Nov. 1813) and gave the land he inherited from his grandfather to Archer Coleman Jr. William Green [G.G1.1.2] was identified in his grandfather?s will. Thomas Green of Amherst County [G.G2] On 30 August 1779, Thomas Green of Amherst County bought 170 acres in Amelia County from Zachariah Compton. We do not know who he was. Another Thomas Green married Nancy Wood of Amelia County. Thomas Green (?1792) of Amelia County [G.G3] A Thomas Green died in Amelia County (will dated 30 April 1790 , recorded 26 April 1792). He mentioned no wife but named four children. They appraised his estate in 1792. Children of Thomas Green: Anna Green [G.G3.1]. Elizabeth Green [G.G3.2] married Benjamin Meador. In 1782 Amelia County listed Benjamin Meador head of a family of ten with two slaves. Meador died in Amelia County in 1797 (will dated 10 Oct. 1797, recorded 24 Nov. 1797). His wife, Elizabeth, was still living and he left bequests to several children. Claiborne Foster, Edward Green, and Nancy Green witnessed his will. Seary Meador [G.G3.2.1]. Benjamin Meador [G.G3.2.2]. Hezekiah Meador [G.G3.2.3]. William Meador [G.G3.2.4]. Thomas Meador [G.G3.2.5]. Byearn Meador [G.G3.2.6]. Willson Meador [G.G3.2.7]. Amey Meador [G.G3.2.8] married Joshua Noble. Mannah Meador [G.G3.2.9]. Betsy Meador [G.G3.2.10]. Nancy Meador [G.G3.2.11]. John Green [G.G3.3] was dead when his father wrote his will. Thomas Green [G.G3.4]. Thomas Green of Prince Edward County [G.G4] Another Thomas Green was in Prince Edward County in 1761 when he bought land from his father-in-law, Peter Davis. Traditionally, this Thomas Green was from Westmoreland County and married first Ann Berryman and second Lucy Davis. By 1785 two Thomas Greens were in Prince Edward County. John Green [G.G5] One John Green appeared in the records of Amelia County 1760s to the 1780s. He could have been either John son of William Green, John son of Thomas Green, or John son of Henry Green. Although he lived near Thomas Green he was not necessarily his son for Thomas Green was guardian for William?s son, John. John Green and George Green, son of Henry Green, witnessed together an Amelia County deed of May 1777. John Green, whoever?s son he may have been, bought 100 acres from John Anderson in Amelia County in January 1769 and added 190 acres he got from Obadiah Hudson in February 1773. He bought four small tracts next to Thomas Green: 10 acres from Francis Hopkins in April 1773, a 53¾-acre and a 6-acre tract from William Ware, et. al. in October 1773, and 6¾ acres from Hugh Cavender in March 1775. Amelia County listed John Green head of a family of nine with eleven slaves in 1782. With Thomas Green Sr., John Green sold 132 acres in Amelia County to William Crowder in March 1784. The deed described the tract as land on which John Green was living. He was still in the county in 1785 with a family of eleven. In 1800 Charlotte County listed the John Green estate on the tax rolls. Elsewhere in the county was another John Green. John Green, perhaps a son, died in Charlotte County (will recorded 1 Sept. 1828) naming a wife, Mildred, and nine children in his will. His eldest son, Jesse Davis Green married Martha Tanner in Amelia County 28 December 1788. Henry Green (?1776) [G.G6] Henry Green was in Amelia County when they formed the county and in 1745 secured a patent to 300 acres there on the north side of Hurricane Swamp. His wife was possibly Lucy Stone. William Stone, in his Amelia County will (will dated 2 Dec. 1748 , recorded 21 April 1749), mentioned a daughter Lucy Green and land he had on ?the Harricane.? Henry Green died in Amelia County (will dated 24 April 1776 ) and in his will he mentioned his wife, Lucy, and several children. In 1782 Amelia County listed Lucy Green head of a family of two with five slaves. Lucy died before 14 September 1795 when the court divided Henry?s estate among the heirs. Children of Henry and Lucy (Stone) Green: Elizabeth Green [G.G6.1] married a Hammond. Anne Green [G.G6.2] married a Lawson. John Green [G.G6.3]. Martha Green [G.G6.4] married John Jones. Mary Green [G.G6.5] married a Whitehead. Milly Green [G.G6.6] married a Harper. Fanny Green [G.G6.7] died before 25 July 1782 when Amelia County granted John Green administration of her estate and ordered him to appraise it. George Green [G.G6.8] was living near Hurricane Swamp in Amelia County with a family of two in 1782. He had five slaves. Lucy Green [G.G6.9], daughter of Lucy Green, married Knacy Andrews in Amelia County 21 April (bond) 1783. John Green [G.1] John Green, the son of Thomas Green II and Martha Filmer, married Elizabeth. Children of John and Elizabeth (?) Green: Thomas Green [G.1.1] married and moved to South Carolina. Elizabeth Green [G.1.2] married a Payne and had children. Thomas Green III [G.2] Thomas Green III was a son of Thomas Green II and Martha Filmer. Traditionally, he was the Thomas Green (c.1665-1730) who married Elizabeth Marston (25 Nov. 1672 - 11 Aug. 1759), the daughter of Thomas Marston and Elizabeth Marvell. The Greens and Marstons lived in James City County where in 1704 Thomas Green paid quit rents on 550 acres and Thomas Marston on 1,000 acres. Traditionally this Thomas and Elizabeth are believed to be the parents of the eight children identified below. In February 1729/30 Walter Scott sold Thomas Green ?of County & Parish of James City? 400 acres in Varina Parish of Henrico County. Walter had held a patent to the land. In December 1753, Elizabeth Green Sr. bought 150 acres on the heads of Woody and Deep Creeks in Amelia County from Timothy Murrill of Onslow County, North Carolina. Abraham Green, Marston Green, and Thomas Green witnessed this deed. An Elizabeth Green outlived her husband and died in Amelia County about 1759 (will dated 12 Nov. 1758 , recorded 24 Jan. 1760). She identified most of these children in her will. Yet if her birth date is correct, she would have given birth at ages forty-seven, forty-eight, and fifty-one. It is implausible, too, that Abraham Green, in his will of 1774, acknowledged that he had not completed administering the estate of his brother Thomas ? more than forty years after Thomas?s death. Descendants of Thomas and Elizabeth (Marston) Green: daughter Green [G.2.1] married Thomas Cowles III, the brother of Elizabeth Cowles who wed Abraham Green. Thomas Cowles of Charles City County held 1,100 acres on Winticomack Creek in Amelia County. He bought 700 acres and a mill from James Tucker Sr. and James Tucker Jr. in 1750; 200 acres from Robert Coleman in 1750; and 200 acres from William Bevill in 1768. Abraham Green, Sarah Green, and Thomas Green Jr. witnessed the Coleman deed. Cowles later leased 100 acres back to Bevill. Thomas Cowles died in Charles City County (will dated 25 Nov. 1769, recorded 6 June 1770). His wife was unmentioned in his will and he identified three sons and three daughters. On 2 March 1774, Charles City County recorded the division of his estate ? nearly sixty slaves in Charles City and Amelia Counties ? among three sons. John Cowles [G.2.1.1] inherited fee tail his father?s land in Amelia County and many slaves. If he died without male heirs, the land would go to his brother William and, if he died without male heirs, then to brother Thomas. Such a legacy precluded the Cowles from selling the land. After receiving the slaves due him from his father?s estate, he mortgaged them to William Edwards of Brunswick County. Cowles conveyed the land and mill to William Claiborne in September 1776 but leased it back. John was living in South Carolina by June 1777 when he conveyed the ?Thomas Cowles Sr. Quarter? in Amelia County to Edward Walker of Dinwiddie County for £500 with an agreement to buy the tract back for the same price. Claiborne conveyed his rights to the entailed property to Edwards the same day. Evidently Walker exchanged the land ? land to which he did not have clear title ? with John Tabb for 1,800 acres in Dinwiddie County. By 1800 the deception was exposed and William Cowles, then of Georgia, by his attorney Cowles Meade, took possession of the Dinwiddie County land and relinquished his right to the Amelia County land to Tabb. Cowles Meade was governor of Mississippi in 1806. Meadeville, Mississippi, was named for him. We do not know the connection of John Cowles and Cowles Meade, although undoubtedly there is one. Thomas Cowles IV [G.2.1.2] was a beneficiary of the 1758-will of his grandmother Green. He inherited his father?s home plantation and the neighboring land in James City County. William Marston Cowles [G.2.1.3] inherited ?The Ridge? plantation from his father and was in Georgia by 1800. Martha Cowles [G.2.1.4] married William Stith. daughter Cowles [G.2.1.5] married John Coleman. Mary Cowles [G.2.1.6] married William Brodnax. Elizabeth Green [G.2.2] married a Dawson after 1753. Elizabeth later married Leonard Cheatham Sr. See their family The child of Elizabeth (Green) Dawson: Samuel Dawson [G.2.2.1]. William Green [G.2.3] died without children. Lucy Green [G.2.4] (9 July 1717) married Henry Clay in 1735. See their family Lucy married second William Marshall. She lived out her days in Powhatan County and died there about 1805. Martha Green [G.2.5] (25 Nov. 1719 - 6 Sept. 1793), called ?Patsy,? married Charles Clay Sr. See their family Thomas Green [G.2.6] was traditionally Col. Thomas Marston Green (19 Nov. 1723) who married Martha Wills (31 Mar. 1734) on 21 November 1752. She was the eldest daughter of Filmer Wills and Ann Harwood. Ann Harwood was the daughter of William Harwood, a member of the Virginia Convention of 1776 from Warwick City County. Green was a colonel during the Revolution. Thomas Marston Green may have been the Thomas Green with wife, Martha, mentioned in Digression: Other Greens of Amelia County. Yet two Thomas Greens had a wife, Martha. On 10 February 1748/9, Thomas secured a patent to 200 acres in Goochland (later Cumberland) County and conveyed it to his brother-in-law, Henry Clay in 1750. Seven children were born in Virginia before the family moved to Georgia and then on to Natchez, Mississippi, about 1776. Five more children were born in Mississippi. The Green?s most prominent child was Thomas Marston Green who represented the Mississippi Territory in the Seventh United States Congress (1802-03). One of his twelve children, Joseph Kirkland Green, married Mildred Meriwether Cabell. Rebecca Green [G.2.7] married Francis Jones in Amelia County 5 September (bond) 1756. She signed her own marriage consent ?Rebekah.? Francis Jones was from South Carolina, the son of Philip Jones and the grandson of immigrant Francis Jones. Francis and Rebecca returned to South Carolina. He named four children in his will in Edgefield County, South Carolina (will dated 6 Sept. 1800, recorded 9 Sept. 1801). Harwood Jones [G.2.7.1]. Elizabeth Marvell Jones [G.2.7.2] married a Ray. Martha Wills Jones [G.2.7.3] married Thomas Spraggins. Francis Jones [G.2.7.4]. Capt. Marston Green [G.2.8] inherited from his mother 150 acres of land and the plantation where she was living. He sold it to Matthew Ornsby in January 1761/2. Marston obtained a patent for 390 acres on the south side of the Nottoway River in Amelia County in 1753. Matthew Cabanis originally had the patent for this property but he failed to cultivate it. For a while, Marston lived in Halifax County. He was there in May 1763 when he bought 445 acres on Difficult Creek from John LeGrand and in March 1764 when he bought 413 acres from Richard Brown. Marston was captain of the Halifax County Militia in September 1763. Marston was married to Elizabeth Apperson before July 1769. She was the daughter of Samuel Apperson who died in James City County. Marston and Elizabeth moved back to Amelia County and agreed to sell the 445-acre and 413-acres tracts in Halifax County to her father. Yet Samuel died before they consummated the sale. Further, Samuel?s son John Apperson Jr., who was to inherit the land died, too. So, in May 1770, Marston and Elizabeth conveyed to land to Robert Wooding, executor of the will of John Apperson Jr. In 1776 Marston bought 400 acres in Amelia County from Archibald Yarbrough, et.al. It was part of Nottoway County in 1794 when he sold it to his son, Grief. Marston was living in Amelia County in 1782 when they listed him as head of a household of four whites and twenty-two blacks. He owed money to a British merchant at the Revolution that he extinguished after the war. Marston died in Nottoway County (will dated 1813, recorded 1814) naming a wife, Lucy. Col. Grief Green [G.2.8.1] (23 June 1770), a prominent attorney of Nottoway County, wed Rebecca Mayo. See their family Grief married second Ann M. Knox in Mecklenburg County 25 December 1817. Henry Green [G.2.8.1.1]. Mary Green [G.2.8.2] (19 Dec. 1776) married James Harper of Petersburg in Amelia County 27 February (bond) 1782. Marston Green Harper [G.2.8.2.1]. Elizabeth Harper [G.2.8.2.2]. Lucy Harper [G.2.8.2.3]. Joel Brown Harper [G.2.8.2.4] was named in his grandfather Green?s will. Elizabeth (Green) Crawley [G.3] Elizabeth Green, the daughter of Thomas Green II and Martha Filmer, married John Crawley. Children of John and Elizabeth (Green) Crawley: Nathaniel Crawley [G.3.1]. Martha Crawley [G.3.2] married Thomas Cole of Chickahominy River. Elizabeth Crawley [G.3.3] married a Binns. Hannah Crawley [G.3.4]. Mary Crawley [G.3.5] married Samuel Tarry of Amelia County. They were said to be the parents of three children. Samuel had been married to Mary Booker. Samuel was charged with 27 tithables and 1,000 in Lunenburg County in 1764. Appearing on his list were Robert Crawley and William Townsend. Gracey Tarry [G.3.5.1] married Gideon Flournoy of Chesterfield County in Lunenburg County 2 Dec (bond) 1786. Surety was Samuel Tarry.

Abraham Green Sr. (c.1705?c.1783) [G.6] Abraham Green Sr., the son of Thomas Green II and Martha Filmer, was sometimes called ?Abram.? Abraham was a justice (1734-69) and the sheriff of Amelia County (1743-44). In October 1733 John Tally sold Abraham 400 acres of his 800-acre patent on Deep Creek in Prince George (now Amelia) County. In June 1738 Abraham Green Gent. secured a patent to 1,150 acres in Amelia County on Deep Creek. This tract included the 400-acre Tally purchase. In March 1740/1 Abraham sold 200 acres in Amelia County to Judah Israel and two years later, on 8 February 1742/3, bought 200 acres on Deep Creek from William Harrison. In 1743 John Willson sold Green 200 acres at a place called Willson?s on Smacks Creek. In September 1746 Green bought 200 acres from John Tucker and in January 1746/7 he bought 200 acres from Nicholas Dyson. By 1763 Abraham held 1,750 acres in Amelia County. Only five landowners held more. Abram married Elizabeth Cowles and they had ten children. Elizabeth and Thomas Cowles, who married Abram?s niece, were probably children of Thomas Cowles II off Charles City County and grandchildren of Thomas Cowles I, of James City County. The eldest Thomas Cowles paid quit rents on 675 acres in 1704, was a member of the House of Burgesses (1698,1710-12), sheriff (1710), and justice (1699-1702). At the December Court 1741, Charles City County admitted to record a deed by which Abraham conveyed land to Richard Timberlake. Elizabeth relinquished her dower right at the November Court 1742. Abram?s second wife was Ann (?) Blunt, the widow of Richard Blunt, whom he married 9 October (bond) 1758. Abram had no children by his second wife. During October 1780 Abraham gave his son Abraham Jr. a young male slave in lieu another that had died. In 1768 Thomas Green and his wife, Mary, sold 477 acres on both sides of Allens Creek in Mecklenburg County to Abraham Green for £250. Abraham left this tract to his son, William Wills Green, but sold it to him before his death on 13 August 1774. Abraham Green Jr. and Matthew Green witnessed the deed of sale. In June 1781 a mulatto slave belonging to Abraham went over to the British and was with them at Yorktown. Following the capture of Yorktown, some had seen him carrying oysters ?from the lower parts to New Castle.? He would pass for a free man and went by the name of Duncan Green or Will Sincocke. Abraham advertised for his return in the 5 April 1783 edition of The Virginia Gazette. Abraham died in Amelia County after 1783 when he wrote a codicil to the will he composed on 13 August 1774. He identified several children and grandchildren. Abraham mentioned his ?friend Lawrence Wills? and presumably named his son William Wills Green for him or his family. Descendants of Abraham and Elizabeth (Cowles) Green: Sarah Green [G.6.1] married Jeremiah Keen. On 22 March 1762, Jeremiah and his wife, Sarah, sold 200 acres on Cellar Creek in Amelia County to Henry Clay. In 1782 Halifax County listed Jeremiah Keen head of a household of three whites and five blacks.

Abraham Green Jr. [G.6.2] married twice. His first wife and the mother of five children was Elizabeth Browne, daughter of Maj. Henry Browne of ?Pipsico? in Surry County and his wife, Hannah Edwards. See their family Abram married second, after 1783, Martha Armistead, the daughter of Gill Armistead and Elizabeth Allen. They had two children. Children of Abraham and Margaret (Armistead) Green: Abraham Armistead Green [G.6.2.1] married Elizabeth Aubion Cocke. Aubion was the daughter of James Powell Cocke and Mary Lewis. They had one child. The Richmond Enquirer of 23 November 1819 reported the 12 November death of 20-year-old Elizabeth. Rosalie Green [G.6.2.1.1] married Dr. Richard F. Taylor in Amelia County 14 December (bond) 1840 and had eight children. A grandson, George Keith Taylor (11 Sept. 1883), married Virginia Eggleston Hardaway, daughter of Richard Hardaway. George represented Prince George County in the Virginia House of Delegates (1793-1800). Elizabeth Ambler Green [G.6.2.2] married first Dr. Richard Herbert Cocke in Powhatan County 21 Jan (bond) 1813 and second William Booth. Susanna Green [G.6.3] was to marry John Winn, Gent., made a marriage bond with Abraham Green as surety 4 April (bond) 1754. Yet as Susanna Green she married Henry Vaden in Amelia County 5 March (bond) 1768. Abraham Green was again the bondsman. Seventeen years later, on 17 March (bond) 1783 , Henry Vaden married Judith (Old) Hawks in Amelia County. This was a second marriage for both. Judith Hawks was the widow of George Hawks and Amelia County granted her administration of his estate on 27 September 1781. Henry Vaden helped appraise her husband?s estate. Judith was one of thirteen children of John Old who died in Amelia County before 1780. In 1782 Amelia County had listed Henry Vaden in a household of two whites with fifteen slaves and Judith Hawks with four whites and two blacks. A generation later, on 12 February (bond) 1806 , a Henry Vaden was the father of the bride when Nancy Fowler Vaden married James Chappell in Amelia County. Chappell was surety and witnessed the marriage consent before Mary Vaden married William Barnes in Amelia County 1 April (bond) 1812. See their family William Wills Green [G.6.4] married Martha Archer. William Green inherited 447 acres of land in Mecklenburg County from his father. William acquired considerable land along Allens and Butchers creeks in Mecklenburg County: 120 acres on Allens Creek from Samuel Whitworth in June 1770, 395 acres from Michael Watson and David Watson on 9 December 1772, 10 acres from Edward Bevill in November 1774, and 235 acres 3 April 1775 from James Southall of Amelia County.

Additional purchases were 100 acres from Robert Tucker in June 1779. He also sold some of his Mecklenburg County property: In 1776 he sold 45 acres on the east side of Allens Creek to John Humphries. Francis Moore Neal bought 94 acres in May 1777, James Westbrook bought 200 acres in October 1777, and Asa Oliver bought 3 acres in October 1778. James Mills of Amelia County bought 140 acres in February 1779, John Keeton bought 100 acres in September 1780, and William Wills bought 500 acres in September 1781. In 1782 in Mecklenburg County listed William Green head of a household of thirteen whites and thirty-four blacks. William displayed his patriotism by voting to elect representatives to the Revolutionary Convention in April 1776. Mecklenburg County recommended William Green as a major in February 1781. When William Wills Green paid personal property taxes in 1800, his son William Green was more than sixteen years and living at home. He paid a debt to a British merchant that arose before the Revolution. William married second Mary (Hinton) Poindexter, widow of Philip Poindexter, in Mecklenburg County 11 January 1803. William died in Mecklenburg County (will dated May 1811), as did Mary (will dated 8 Oct. 1812 , recorded 18 Jan. 1813). William Green [G.6.4.1]. Lewis Green [G.6.4.2] was perhaps the Lewis Green who married Elizabeth Crawley in Mecklenburg County 8 September (bond) 1788. Yet William Wills Green was guardian to orphan Lewis Green in December 1777 in Mecklenburg County. One Lewis Green represented Mecklenburg County in the Virginia House of Delegates (1820-21). Capt.

Archer Green paid taxes on four slaves more than twelve years of age in 1800. Howell Green [G.6.4.3.1] was a beneficiary of his aunt Mary Green?s will. Armistead Green [G.6.4.3.2] was perhaps related to the Armistead Green..
