    Birth:

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Charles Betts Woody was born 17 May 1828, Halifax County, Virginia (son of John Woody and Nancy Betts); died 17 Apr 1862, Halifax Co., Virginia.

    Charles married Susan Ann Green 18 Dec 1858, Person Co., North Carolina. Susan (daughter of Nathaniel 'Paul' Green and Martha 'Patsy' Warren) was born Mar 1836, Halifax County, Virginia; died 11 Aug 1898, Halifax County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Susan Ann Green was born Mar 1836, Halifax County, Virginia (daughter of Nathaniel 'Paul' Green and Martha 'Patsy' Warren); died 11 Aug 1898, Halifax County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    Birth:
    In the 1870 Census Susan Woodie, 24, F, W. Keeping House; If Susan Green Woodie is shown as 24 in 1870, she was born in 1846; not 36. [or she is 32 and the Census has been misread] She is married to Charles Betts Woody and has a son, she has named James, who is 9 years old. All of these Woodies shown on this census are probably misnamed and are Paul Green's Children, except James who I believe is the son of Susan and Charles Woody, except she would have been 14 when she had this child. Not impossible, but not likely.

    Notes:

    Married:
    William J. Gravitt is the Brother-in-law of Susan Ann Green. Her Sister, Harriett Elizabeth married William James Gravitt; died in the Civil War.

    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.

    Nathaniel Paul Green's Date of Birth is recorded as 25 Dec 1803. Paul named his daughter Winnifred Vaughan Green. Who is his Mother? Paul Green could be the son of any of Ann Pritchard Green's Daughters; however, he lives among the other assoicates of Berryman Green. -Mary Frances Eggleston
