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.
