This posting is the last installment in a series of postings discussing the children of Andrew Pickens and Rebecca Calhoun of Abbeville County and Pendleton District, South Carolina. This series began with a posting about Andrew and Rebecca’s first six children, which was followed with a posting about their next three children.

John Green (1768-1837): Pendleton District, South Carolina Records, 1800-1818

Pendleton District, South Carolina, Deed Bk. O, pp. 136-8

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.
