Samuel Kerr Green, father of Ezekiel Samuel Green (1824/5 – 1900/1910), was born in 1790 in Pendleton District (later Anderson County), South Carolina. As previous postings have noted (and here), Samuel is enumerated on the 1850 federal census in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, along with his wife Elvira Birdwell Green, their children Albert and Cornelia, and Elvira’s siblings Clinton, Camilla, and Mary Ann.[1] The census gives Samuel’s age as 60 and his birthplace as South Carolina.

In a number of previous postings, I’ve sketched some parts of the life of Ezekiel Samuel Green (1824/5 – after 1900), father of Mary Ann Green Lindsey (1861-1942) and son of Samuel Kerr Green (1790-1860) and Eliza Jane Smith (1790/1800 – 1843). In this posting, I’ll begin creating a more systematic account of Ezekiel’s life than I’ve previously provided, and will point to previous discussions of portions of his life that I’ve already discussed in detail.
