Or, Subtitled: “A relatively prosperous merchant, variously listed as a hatter, general merchant, and even grain inspector”

As the previous posting discussing Mary Calhoun (abt. 1743-1805), daughter of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jane/Jean Ewing and wife of Samuel Kerr, states, the will that Mary made in Abbeville County, South Carolina, on 21 January 1805 names the following children: John Kerr, Jane Kerr Green, Catherine Kerr McLain, and Ruth Kerr.[1] I am naming these children in what I think was their order of birth, not the order in which their mother Mary names them in her will.

Or, Subtitled: “He left Pendleton for the Alabama a week before John E. got up and expects to return in about two months”

1800-1810

As my last posting tells you as it examines Pendleton District, South Carolina, records for John Green from the 1790 federal census, which suggests that he and wife Jane were living on and managing the Keowee Heights plantation of her uncle John Ewing Colhoun, to 21 December 1798, when he had a plat for 500 acres east of the Keowee in addition to the 838 acres he acquired in 1793, there were a number of men named John Green living in Pendleton District or found in its records in the 1790s. The 1800 federal census for Pendleton District presents us with yet another challenge of sorting John Greens.
