The seventh and eighth children of John Green and Jane Kerr, Lucinda and John Ewing Green, both died young and unmarried and are buried with their parents at Tannehill Historical State Park in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, to which the graves of a number of family members were moved from the old Green family cemetery near the Green homeplace outside Woodstock in Bibb County.

Ezekiel Purchases Island Property Outside Smithland
Now, returning to the chronological narrative of Ezekiel C. Green’s documents following his marriage on 2 September 1835: on 28 March 1836, Ezekiel Calhoun Green bought from William Croghan of Pittsburgh for $1,500 all of Croghan’s holdings on an island in the Ohio River immediately below the junction of the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers, 200 acres that Croghan had obtained through a treasury warrant 27 June 1786.[1] The land was surveyed 18 March 1798 and patented 16 July 1805. Croghan acknowledged the deed in Pittsburgh court on 28 March 1836, and it was recorded in Livingston County on 7 May.

This posting is a continuation of a previous one in which I began documenting the life of my great-grandmother Mary Ann Green, daughter of Ezekiel Samuel Green and Camilla Birdwell, who married Alexander Cobb Lindsey on 2 November 1876 in Red River Parish, Louisiana. As the linked posting indicates, though Mary Ann’s death certificate, with Alec reporting this information, states that she was born 11 October 1862 in Pointe Coupee Parish, there are strong reasons to think that the year of birth reported on this document and inscribed on her tombstone is incorrect and that she was born 11 October 1861.
