5. Mary Calhoun Green, who was the fifth child of John Green and Jane Kerr and was named for her maternal grandmother Mary Calhoun Kerr, was born 16 November 1797 in Pendleton District, South Carolina. This date of birth is inscribed on her tombstone.[1] Mary is buried with her parents and siblings Lucinda and John Ewing Green in Tannehill Historical State Park in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. As a previous posting notes, these Green family members were originally buried in a family cemetery near the Green homeplace in Bibb County, about a mile southeast of Woodstock in Bibb County. The graves were then moved at some point to Tannehill Historical State Park, about five miles away across the Bibb-Tuscaloosa County line.

3. Benjamin S. Green, the third child and second son of John Green and Jane Kerr,was born in 1794 in Pendleton District, South Carolina. The 1860 federal mortality schedule for Grimes County, Texas, lists B.S. Green next to his brother S.K. Green, stating that B.S. Green died of “Disias of the hart” in April 1860 in Grimes County, after an illness of 21 days.[1] The mortality schedule states that B.S. Green was aged 66 at the time of death and was born in South Carolina. This gives Benjamin S. Green a birth year of 1794. The mortality schedule listings show that at the very end of his life, Benjamin’s brother Samuel had either gone to live with his brother in Texas, having lost his lawsuit in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, against his son Ezekiel, or was visiting Benjamin in Texas at the time of his death. Samuel died in Grimes County in March 1860 of pneumonia, and his brother the following month.

Or, Subtitled: “In Memory of Jane Green born in Abbeville District S.C. Oct. 8th 1768. Departed this life Nov. 2nd 1855”
As a previous posting has indicated, the tombstone of Jane Kerr Green, wife of John Green, which formerly marked her grave in the family cemetery on the Green plantation near Woodstock in Bibb County, Alabama, but is now in Tannehill Historical State Park in Tuscaloosa County, states that Jane was born 8 October 1768 in Abbeville District, South Carolina, and that she died 2 November 1855.[1] The posting I’ve just linked contains a photo of the tombstone and transcribes its inscription, which reads,
In Memory of Jane Green born in Abbeville District S.C. Oct. 8th 1768. Departed this life Nov. 2nd 1855
As the linked posting also explains, at the time John Green and Jane Kerr were born in 1768 in what would become Abbeville County or District in 1785, this area, then called Granville County, would shortly after their births become Ninety-Six District until Abbeville District/County was created.
