John Green (1768-1837): Some Notes on His Yet-to-Be Proven Ancestry

South Carolina Colonial Plat Bk. 9, p. 293

Or, Subtitled: Making Lemonade with No Lemons — Trying to Do Genealogy in Absence of Records You Need

Beginning with this linked posting in early September 2023, I’ve been tracking a Green family line from my earliest proven ancestor in this line, John Green, who was born 21 January 1768 in Granville (later Abbeville) County, South Carolina, and who died 18 March 1837 in Bibb County, Alabama. I’ve followed this family from John Green through his children by wife Jane Kerr, up to George Sidney Green, their last child, whose family I discussed in my last two postings. Prior to that time, I had also made a number of postings focusing specifically on John and Jane’s son Samuel Kerr Green, my 3-g-grandfather, and Samuel’s son Ezekiel Samuel Green, my 2-g-grandfather.

  1. Ran across this very informative article while searching for my own Alexander/ English family in the Long Canes Settlement. I do have ideas about where they might have come from after leaving Virginia and before coming to Long Canes Settlement.Please contact me for information you might find helpful. While I go back and review information I have about Kerr family.
