Or, Subtitled: “One of the best known river men in this section of the country”
Ezekiel Calhoun Green (1795-1851) had the following children: John K. and Samuel Kerr Green, sons of Ezekiel by wife Matilda Harrison; and Mary Musa Green, a daughter by Louisa B. Reed.
Since writing my previous posting which discussed Ezekiel Calhoun Green’s marriage to Louisa B., the widow of Timothy J. Alvord, at Smithland, Livingston County, Kentucky, on 14 June 1841, I have found new information about Louisa. When I made the linked posting, I stated that I had not been able to determine Louisa’s maiden name.
Now, thanks to hints provided by Ancestry, I have discovered that Louisa was the daughter of David Reed and Nancy Phillips, and was born in Orono, Penobscot County, Maine, on 7 April 1814. I have added the following sentence to the posting linked in the previous paragraph:
Louisa was the daughter of David Reed and Nancy Phillips, and was born 7 April 1814 at Orono in Penobscot County, Maine. In 1815-6, her parents moved the family to Washington County, Ohio, where Louisa was raised.
