Or, Subtitled: “On the Elyton road, the [stagecoach] change, usually considered necessary every fifteen miles, is said to have occurred regularly near Woodstock at the old Green house, called Halfway House”

As the previous posting states, when Jane Kerr Green relinquished her dower rights to the 1,345 acres she and husband John Green sold in Pendleton District, South Carolina, on 4 May 1818 — Jane released dower on 28 October 1818 — it appears to me that John and Jane were making preparations for the immediate move of their family to Alabama. I think it’s likely that the family left for Alabama not long after Jane’s dower release. Since, as will be shown below, when John and his sons Benjamin and Joscelin had certificates for federal land in Bibb County, Alabama, in June 1823, with the certificates stating that the Green men were living in Tuscaloosa County, I think the Green family initially settled in Tuscaloosa County before moving to the contiguous county of Bibb, where they settled in the northwest corner of Bibb not far from the Tuscaloosa County line.
