6. Joscelin B. Green, the sixth child of John Green and Jane Kerr, was born in 1800 in Pendleton District, South Carolina. This year of birth is indicated by the 1850 federal census, on which Joscelin is enumerated in Bibb County, Alabama, with his family and is listed as a farmer born in South Carolina, aged 50.[1]

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.
