Thomas Green

Notes:

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

Berryman Green was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, in 1754 [Amelia-mfe]. This family dates back to an illustrious line of "Buckton," Northamptonshire, England.
He enlisted in the Revolutionary war as a private, in 1776, and served through the war as quartermaster on General Washington's staff. He was unfit for active service, being lame. He married Nancy Terry, daughter of Nathaniel Terry, Gent., Burgess of Halifax County. He died in this county, [Halifax] September 13, 1825. Nancy, his wife, died February 20, 1837. They were buried at the old 'Thompson Place', near 'Banister Lodge.' Their children were, viz.: Elizabeth Dickerson Green, who married her cousin, Col. Joe Coleman Terry., Berryman Green, Jr. marrried Ariana Vaughan, Mary Green (died), Sarah Green (died) Thomas Jefferson Green, married Frances Keeling Burton, Nathaniel Terry Green, married Annie Colquehoun.

Berryman Green was born 31 January 1753 or 1754 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, to Thomas Green (ca. 1725-ca. 1799) and Lucy Davis Green (ca. 1735-1785). Green's family moved to Prince Edward County, Virginia, and in 1769, he was apprenticed to the court clerk of Charlotte County, Virginia. In 1776, Green enlisted in Henry Lee's (1756-1818) command, then received an appointment as quartermaster for General George Washington?s (1732-1799) staff. In 1781, Green was appointed an assistant deputy quartermaster for the state of Virginia. After the war, Green lived in Westmoreland County, then moved to Halifax County, Virginia in 1787 where he became a planter. Green represented Halifax County in the House of Delegates in 1796. Green married first Anne Pritchard (d. 1787) in Pennsylvania in 1799, and they had five children. He married second Nancy Terry (1758 or 1763-1836) of Halifax County 6 January 1789), and they had six children. Green died in Halifax County 14 September 1825, and was buried in the Terry family cemetery there.

Berryman Green was apprenticed to become a Court Clerk. In 1801, he signed the Will of Jonathan Colquit, A.C.H.C [Acting Clerk of Halifax County].

He was named for his maternal grandfather, Anthony Pritchard.

Notes:

There continues to be an absence of documentation for the parentage of Paul Green. I once believed he must belong to Anthony; I now theorize that he is the son of one of Anthony's Sisters. Each of Berryman & Ann Pritchard Green's daughters married after Nathaniel's birth; Ann Pritchard Green, Berryman's daughter, married 12 Jul 1805, John Barksdale and eventually moved to DeKalb, MS. The 2nd daughter of Berryman and Ann, Lucy married Stephen Davenport in Oct 1804; 3rd Daughter, Hannah Jones Green is said to have never married, but was 'of age to have a child' in 1803 when Paul Green was born. He lived and died in Halifax Co., Virginia, among his neighbors and other members of his family. The Carters, Gravitts, Warrens, Greens, Blackwells. He is buried in his Son's Family Cemetery.
