In my previous posting, I told you that a Benjamin Green who begins appearing in Abbeville County and Pendleton District, South Carolina, records by the late 1780s and early 1790s and who is designated in almost all of these records as Benjamin Green Jr. can be proven to have been a son of the older Benjamin Green discussed in the posting I’ve just linked. I also strongly suspect Benjamin Jr. is a brother of the John Green (1768-1837) whose ancestry I’m trying to figure out.
