  2. 7.  Susan [Hunt] Gravitt was born 1832, Halifax County, Virginia (daughter of John Archer Gravett and Sarah [Lipscomb] "Sallie" Blackwell); died , Halifax County, Virginia.

    Notes:

    William N. GREEN was born about 1826 in NC. He died before 1 June 1860 at the age of 34. It is unknown when and where William died. His daughters are living with his wife's brothers William James Gravitt & John King Gravitt in the 1860 Halifax co VA census. Parents: Nathaniel Paul GREEN and Martha "Patsy" WARREN.

    Spouse: Susan H. GRAVITT. Susan H. GRAVITT and William N. GREEN were married on 24 December 1850 in ,Person, NC. NC Marriage Bondes, 1741-1868, ancestry.com, bond #000107670, Bondsman: Rich' Powel, witness: Obadiah Faulkne Children were: Sallie Fannie GREEN, Martha Susan GREEN.

    Birth:
    1850 VA Census Halifax Co. HH 810 shows the Gravitt Children of John Archer and Sallie Blackwell Gravitt. It appears that both parents are deceased and the children are living with Jane Gravit age 40. This would make Jane the right age to be a sibling of John Archer Gravitt. These children are living next door to Henry Blackwell, presumed to be the brother of Salie Blackwell, mother of these children.

  1. 12.  Nathaniel 'Paul' Green was born 25 Dec 1803, Virginia (son of Husband Hannah Jones Green and Hannah Jones Green); died 11 Nov 1888, Person Co., North Carolina; was buried , Green Family Cemetery, Alton, Halifax, Co., Virginia.

    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.
