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.

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.
