Good Morning Doris;

I hate to be the one to rain on that parade, but it is not even remotely possible that the Thomas Green who married Lucy Davis is the son of William Green and Amey Clay. Here are just three or four points that come to mind:

1. When William died sometime after July 1744 but before August 1747, he left a rather detailed will naming his MINOR children including Thomas.

2. In the will William basically cut off Amey as soon as she remarried - which she did almost immediately.

At a court in July 1748, a Thomas Green Jr. (likely the son of Elizabeth Marston Green by process of elimination) petitioned to become the guardian of the MINOR children - - and was still their guardian even as late as October 1749 - - although some had married by this time.

3. Thomas, son of William and Amey Clay, inherited much of his father's estate and was still living on a portion of that land when he DIED in 1791. He too left a rather detailed will.

4. Major Thomas Green who married Lucy Davis was still very much alive for the 1810 Census (Page 254) and was still alive as late as 1813, contributed some service to the War of 1812 and served as County Commissioner as late as 1813. Lastly; he was "located" on a circa 1820 hand drawn map of Amelia County living in the same location where he bought the land from his father-in-law Peter Davis.

Taken together - - your newly found chart - - can not possible be correct.
It appears that somebody has made another "giant leap or assumption" without even bothering to check the public records.

Sincerely;
David T. Green

Hi Doris,

David is correct, that the Thomas Green who married Lucy Davis could not have been the son of William and Amey Clay Green. William and Amey Clay Green's son Thomas Green, born about 1725, married a Martha, and his will names their children, one of which was the Elizabeth Green who married
Benjamin Meadows. The Thomas Green who married Lucy Davis had children named in the will of Lucy's father, Peter Davis (died 1785) and the names are totally different. They were Rosana Green, Lucy Davis Green, Pais Green, and probably Judith Green who married a Mr. Wells. Lucy Davis and Thomas Green did have a daughter named Elizabeth but she married Hampton Wade on January 7, 1795.

Wheither the Thomas Green that married Lucy Davis was the same Thomas Green who married Ann Berryman in about 1753 has not been proven one way or the other to my knowledge. The dates seems to almost work out, but they are all estimates. If you work backwards from the known dates they show that
Berryman Green married Lucy Ann Prichard on May 25, 1778 at Valley Forge, Pen. and he was said to have been born on January 24, 1754 in Westmoreland County, Virginia. Using these dates, his mother would have to have been born about 1730 to 1733. If her husband was the same Thomas Green that
later married Lucy Davis, and he died after 1820, that would make him about 90 years old if he was about the same age as his first wife, Ann Berryman.

These estimated dates are possible, but as I said, I have seen no proof this was the same Thomas Green.

For some time I have hoped that the Thomas Green that married Ann Berryman was the father of my William Green born Febraury 6, 1762 in Prince Edward County, Virginia, but it appears that Ann Berryman only had one son, Berryman Green, and she died before my William Green was born. I have a deed that shows that Thomas Green purchased 200 acres of land from Peter Davis on April 25, 1761 in Prince Edward County, Virginia, which is less than a year before my William Green was born there. I just knew that I have found my William's parents, but I have found nothing that would prove he was the father of my William Green.

To further complicate the matter a Berryman Green is also mentioned in Peter Davis' will as his grandson, which has caused much disagreement about who his mother was since Lucy Davis and Thomas Green did have a son named Thomas who married Eliza Julia Booker and she had a son named Berryman Green. This Berryman Green was a twin of Ann Flournoy Green, which is another famous Green name from another family. Berryman and Ann Green also had a brother named Carlos Green, which was a very uncommon name in that area at that
time.

I doubt that I have help you in any way, but there are others on the list that have researched this line, and maybe one of them can help.

Best Regards,
Tom Green

It does seem strange, since Thomas & Lucy Davis Green had 9 children beside Berryman Green. And of course my connection is through the son, Thomas Jr, who married Eliza Julia Booker....they had 10 children [I have this from the copy of the bible records of Albert G. Green]..

Colonel Thomas M. Green, he of Revolutionary fame, lived in James City County, Virginia, where he was born and married, until in or about 1766, when he removed to North Carolina, and Georgia, remaining there until hostilities broke out between Great Britain and the Colonies; that he then went back to Virginia for service in the war, and there enlisted and served in the war as soldier, with the rank of colonel, and later returned, after the Revolutionary war was over, to the Georgia section, and thereafter for a time, before permanently becoming established, may have lived or had his headquarters in Natchez, Mississippi; that about 1783, he became involved in the altercation to be mentioned with the Spanish authorities, was arrested and taken to New Orleans, Louisiana, but was released, and that in or before 1785, he became finally settled on his vast estate, the homestead of which was known as "Gayosa," in what is now Jefferson County, Mississippi. These conclusions are supported by cogent circumstances. The result of a close investigation which we procured to be made in the Congressional Library, Washington, District of Columbia, is that the arrest and incarceration in New Orleans must have taken place between 1783 and 1785. The grant for the estate, including "Gayosa," is understood to have been in 1785, at any rate preceding a will made that year, now held as an heirloom, whereby he devised "Gayosa," to his youngest son Everard, and made therein no mention of his wife, Martha Wills, which indicates that she had already died, and that hence the perilous journey to New Orleans on the occasion of his arrest, which cost her life, had previously occurred. "Gayosa" was named for the Spanish Governor before whom he was taken when arrested.

Couple these circumstances with the certain evidence that
he, Colonel Green, did remove from Virginia before the
War of the Revolution, which as is known was being waged
between 1776 and 1781, and that he was a soldier, holding
the rank of Colonel, in that war, and the probable evidence,
that his soldier service was under enlistment in Virginia,
we are drawn almost irresistibly to the deductions
announced.

Since writing the above, we have been favored with an
apparently very ancient sketch of the Green genealogy,
dated August 28, 1867, by W. Holmes, a descendant of
J, Remsen Holmes, who married Augusta, daughter of Thomas M. Green, the Congressman (vide, supra). It tends to confirm the views we have expressed concerning the abodes of Colonel Thomas Green, the officer in the Continental Army, before and after the Revolution; for it is there stated that Colonel Green's children whose nativity was after 1765 and before 1774, namely, Henry Marston, Elias and Filmer Wills were born in North Carolina, and that the previous births of his children were in James City County, Virginia, and the subsequent ones, that is, of Abraham, September 28, 1774, and of Everard, April 15, 1776, were in Georgia (Sketch, p. 2).

In Force's "American Archives," 5th Series, page 595,
proceedings of July, 1776, referring as we understand to
Thomas Marston Green, husband of Martha Wills, it is
said:
"Colonel Green, representing that only fifty (50) of his
Flying Camp Company are now in this town, armed, accoutred and ready to march, and that a number of the drafts of some of the companies of his Battalion have not yet joined them, requests the sentiments of this Committee whether those who are (ready) shall march for the camp under his command, and what method shall be taken to oblige the other drafts to follow."

The social eminence and political prominence and influence of the Green family are well attested by the historical excerpts to follow.

In Lowry and McCardle's "History of Mississippi,"
Chapter VI, page 155, it is said:

"The Committee elected was Colonel Thomas M. Green*

In chapter VIII, page i86, it is stated:

"In December, 1802, the Legislature was again in session. It enacted a number of laws, established Jefferson College, and elected Colonel Thomas Marston Green a delegate in Congress in place of Honorable N. Hunter, who died at the Capital during the session."

F. H. Claiborne's "Mississippi as a Province, Territory and State," Vol. i, pp. 96, 228:

"Thomas Marston Green, an accomplished gentleman and most useful citizen, was the son of Colonel Thomas Green, the head of a numerous family and influential connection. He (Colonel Thomas Green) was a Virginian and an officer of the Continental Army. Removed to Georgia and was associated with General George Rodgers Clarke and General Elisha Clarke of Georgia, in their schemes of attacks on the Spaniards. Colonel Green, with a large party of friends, went to the Holston River, built boats and descended the Tennessee to its mouth, expecting there to find General George Rodgers Clarke, and his party, but not finding them and being unable to ascend the Ohio with their boats, they continued on to Natchez. Colonel Thomas Green (the father of the delegate) had an interview with the Spanish Governor, as agent for the State of Georgia, and claimed the entire district for that State. He was a bold, determined and persistent man. The Spanish authorities, finding that he was likely to excite a tumult, had him arrested and sent to New Orleans. His devoted wife soon followed and from exposure and anxiety died shortly after her arrival. This touched the heart of the

Spanish Governor and Colonel Green was released. The
family settled on the waters of Cole's Creek, in Jefferson
County.

"Colonel Cato West and General Thomas Hinds were his sons-in-law, and by intermarriages it constituted one of the largest connections in the district. Colonel Thomas Green was a man of indomitable resolution. He made the overland journey to Georgia, and was mainly instrumental in getting the Legislature to pass the act asserting the jurisdiction of Georgia over the Natchez district, and organizing it into a county named Bourbon, in 1785.

"His son, Thomas M. Green, was the second delegate to Congress. His son, Abner Green, married a daughter of
Colonel Hutchins.
"Thomas Marston Green (the son just mentioned) was
a warm friend of General Jackson's. It was to his house
General Jackson sent his future wife (Mrs. Robards)
while her divorce was being obtained, and she remained
there fifteen months, and was married to Jackson in his
house."

Green, Col. Thomas: At the time George Rogers Clark was extending the domain of Virginia to the Mississippi river along the Ohio, during the Revolution, Thomas Green and his two sons, and son-in-law, Cato West, Virginians, who had lived for several years in Georgia, set out with the Harrisons and other families, to join the Kentucky settlements. They followed the usual route, over the mountains to the Holston river, where they built boats, and went down the Tennessee to the Ohio. Being able to ascend that river, it is said by Clairborne (p 96) they changed their plans. The Georgia-Virginians came down the river and secured grants of land from the Spanish government in what is now Jefferson county, then under the jurisdiction of the commandant at Natchez. Green was granted a hundred acres near Natchez Sept 1 1782. He appears to have been given authority as commissioner of Georgia to demand of the governor of Louisiana the surrender of the region north of the 31st parallel. He made such a demand upon the govenor and upon the first plausible pretext, says Wailes, he was arrested and imprisoned at New Orleans. His land, slaves and property were confiscated (Amer State Pp. I 559). His wife followed him to New Orelans and died there, and after that Col. Green was released.

June 6, 1784 he executed before Gov Philip Trevino a power of attorney to care for his property, to "his loving sons," Thomas Marston Green, Cato West, and Abner Green, affixing his private seal. He returned to Geeorgia through the Creek country, and secured the passage of an act of the legislature of that Sate, early in 1785, creating the county of Bourbon in Natchez district.

The land office records show that in 1785 he sold 2,000 acres of land on Bayou Sara to John Ellis. In 1785 he was granted 800 arpents on Bayou Sarah, which he sold to John Ellis.

After the arrival of Ellicott he proposed to organize a force to drive out the Spanish, and for that reason the governor made an attempt to arrest him, which caused much excitement. He was a member of the Hutchins committee of safety. Ellicott, in the cource of his criticisms on those associated with Hutchins, says that he always found Green, though a captain in the militia under the Spanish Government, a republican and a friend of the United States. Governor Sargeant tendered him an appointment in the organization of the territory, but he refused it. In 1802 he was appointed by Gov Claiborne treasurer of Jefferon County. From the beginning of the territory he contested with the United States the ownership of the property known as Villa Grayoso, north of Natchez, and finally the property was awarded to the family. Col. Green's sister married the father of Gen. Green Clay, and became the grandmother of the famous Cassius M. Clay.

As has been noted, Cato West was one of the sons-in-law of Col. Green. Abner Green married a daughter of Anthony Hutchins. Thus a power connection was formed, that "at one period, largely controlled the territory." Col. Green died in 1805.

Your Majesty having been graciously pleased to appoint John Eliot Esquire our Governor, he arrived on the first day of April last, to the great Joy and satisfaction of all Inhabitants, who under the Government of a Gentleman of his amiable Character and disposition, promised themselves every happiness: But alas! while we were forming the most agreeable expectations of our future success, it pleased Almighty God on the second Instant to balst all our fond hopes by his sudden death: a Blow which we sincerely lament as the most fatal which at this Time could have befallen us.

That by the Death of Mr Eliot, the Govenment of this Province, hath again devolved upon Montfort Browne Esquire, the Lieutenant Governor, from whose past conduct we Justly dread the most unhappy consepuences in his future Administration.

That your Petitioners do most humbly concieve, that they are bound by their duty and Loyalty to your Sacred Majesty, and their regard to the settlement and prosperity of this Province, to lay before you their objections to the Administration of the Lieutenant Governor, which are of such a nature, as perhaps never were before transmitted to Your Majesty or any of your Royal Predecessors from any part of your Dominions.

The Lieutenant Governor during his late Administration, contrived to secrete and imbezzle a considrable part of the Contingent Money allowed by Your Majesty for the support of this your Infant Colony; and in order to impose therein on Your Majesty's Ministers, hath transmitted to them a number of false Vouchers, for the disbursement of Moneis which he never paid, and for pretended Services which never were performed.

Several Accusations of this nature Were laid before Your Majestys' Council of this Province, which your Petitioners have reason to beleive were fully proved.

That during the former Administration of the Lieutenant Governor, ? by virtue of that high and Honorable Authority vested in him as Chancellor, passed several Iniquitous Decrees to the great detriment and loss of several of Your majestys Subjects in this Province.

Wherefore under the most grateful sense of Your Majestys Paternal care and regard for your Peaple, so often manifested in the exercis of your Royal Authority, and firmly relying on your Justice and Wisdom. We most humbley beseech Your Majesty, to take our unhappy state into your Royal consideration, and grant to your Petitioners your Royal consideration, and grant to your Petitioners under their present Circumstances, such relief as to Your Majestys Wisdom and goodness shall appear most proper, and expedient for the encouragement and Protection of this Colony.

Amey married Edward Moseley about 1751 in Amelia Co, Virginia (prob). Edward was born about 1730 in Proctors area, Henrico Co, Virginia; died about 3 Sep 1808 in Charlotte, Virginia. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events and Attributes:

• Residence: 25 Apr 1761, Prince Edward Co, Virginia; purchased 200 acres

Notes:

Thomas Green purchased land in 1761 in Prince Edward County Virginia from Peter Davis, and later married his daughter Lucy, after the death of his first wife, Ann Berryman.

The Thomas Green who married Lucy Davis -- and earlier Anne Berryman - was still very much alive in 1814 and living in the same lo cation where he had lived since about 1760. He can be found readily on th e 1810 Federal Census for anyone who cares to take a peek


Note:
There is no documentary proof that Thomas Green's father was a William Green., plus he did not name a son, William. There is documentary proof that Peter Davis was the blood grandfather of Berryman Green, Thomas and Lucy's oldest son. Even the family history written in 1915 by Emma Green Phillips, Berryman's great granddaughter gives Lucy Davis Green as Berryman's mother. Berryman Green was born on 31 Jan 1753, probably in Amelia Co VA, as Peter Davis bought land there in 1742 and moved his family there from Goochland Co. VA.

Good Morning Doris;
I hate to be the one to rain on that parade, but it is not even remotely possible that the Thomas Green who married Lucy Davis is the son of William Green and Amey Clay. Here are just three or four points that come to
mind:

1. When William died sometime after July 1744 but before August 1747, he left a rather detailed will naming his MINOR children including Thomas.

2. In the will William basically cut off Amey as soon as she remarried -- which she did almost immediately.
At a court in July 1748, a Thomas Green Jr. (likely the son of Elizabeth Marston Green by process of elimination) petitioned to become the guardian of the MINOR children - - and was still their guardian even as late as October 1749 - - although some had married by this time.

3. Thomas, son of William and Amey Clay, inherited much of his father's estate and was still living on a portion of that land when he DIED in 1791.
He too left a rather detailed will.

4. Major Thomas Green who married Lucy Davis was still very much alive for the 1810 Census (Page 254) and was still alive as late as 1813, contributed some service to the War of 1812 and served as County Commissioner as late
as 1813. Lastly; he was "located" on a circa 1820 hand drawn map of Amelia County living in the same location where he bought the land from his father-in-law Peter Davis.

Taken together - - your newly found chart - - can not possible be correct.

It appears that somebody has made another "giant leap or assumption"
without even bothering to check the public records.

Sincerely;
David T. Green

Notes:

Henry Clay's Station [1] "Dr. Henry Clay, who fathered one of three separate though related branches of Clays in the county, came to Bourbon County in 1787. He is reported to have built a stockade in the Clintonville District in 1787 then a stone house the following year (Grimes 1935). No primary sources were located for this information. His land entries include a 400-acre and a 1000-acre preemption on the Stoner Fork of Licking River (BrookesSmith 1976:37, Virginia Survey Book 1, p. 373). This tract is located, according to entry, 200 yards northwest of McMullen's Spring and includes a portion of the main Stoner channel.

Henry Clay assigned this tract to Samuel Clay in 1783 and the patent was issued in 1784. McMullen's Spring is near where the Harrod's Creek Road crosses Stoner Creek. Henry Clay's reported stockade or station would not have been located on this tract since he transferred it to Samuel Clay three years before he permanently settled in Kentucky.

The stone house he built in 1788 (designated 15Bb77) is, still standing. It is located along a farm road which runs southwest from Winchester Road opposite the juncture of Winchester and Spears Mill roads (Figure IV-7 and IV-8). The L & N railroad track runs immediately southwest of the site. The Clay cemetery is north of the house. Henry and his wife, Rachel, are buried there along with other family members. Henry died in 1824, at the age of 84; Rachel was 81 when she died in 1820. Henry Clay Jr. inherited the house. An H. Clay is listed in the approximate location on the 1877 Beers and Lanagan map.

Grimes (1935) did not indicate if the station was built on the same location as the stone house. No trace of a log structure or foundations were found around the stone house although pasture coverage made surface survey difficult. The house, known locally as "the Fort", is a small structure of one-and-one-half stories with interior end chimneys. The lower floor has two rooms and stairs in the northeast corner lead up to a second floor. A frame shed with a brick chimney is a recent addition on the east side of the house. The front of the house faces west. Two windows pierce the west wall on the first floor. An irregular depression on the south end of the house is suggestive of another possible addition but no door is present to connect it to the stone house without having to come outside. Very little modification has been done to the stone section. The structure was being used to store hay at the time of survey.

Since Dr. Clay's stone house was not located on his land grant, he must have acquired his tract by purchase. In checking early deeds, a land transfer for 200 acres between Henry Clay, Sr. and Benjamin Bedford was found which coincides with the stone house location. Dated February 20, 1793, the deed was for 200 acres on which Henry Clay was then living, on the waters of Green Creek. The land was adjacent to James Parberry, a Bruce, and another Clay (Bourbon County Deed Book B, p. 333).

Time constraints, very dense grass cover and extremely hard, dried out soil rendered shovel probing impractical. The ground around the structure appears little disturbed and archaeological remains are probable although their density and character are unverified. However, the site is deemed worthy of further consideration.

Notes:

West, Cato West, a native of Fairfax County, Virginia, was son-in-law of Thomas Green, the elder, emigrating with him to Georgia (CI.212) and then to South Carolina where they lived on the Wateree before going to Natchez District. (Nat. Rec.) Here, with 32 other men, Cato West volunteered in writing, addressed to "Mr. Robert Ellison, between the Wateree and Congaree Rivers on Simpson's Creek" "to make up a company to march to any part of the Province to defend it against the enemies of its liberty", dated 2nd Sept. 1775. A list of officers and men follow, with Robert Ellison captain. (S.C.I 195-6)

Cato West was born in Fairfax,Virginia, where he married his wife, and moved with father in law Thomas Green first to Georgia, then South Carolina then Natchez, Mississippi. The family is said to have "lived on the waters."

Notes:

Green, Thomas Marston, the third child of Col. Thomas Green and his wife Martha Wills, was born in James City county, Virginia Feb 26, 1758. (See Col. thomas Green). The land records show that he was granted 800 acres on Fairchild's creek in 1789, also owned in 1805 over 3,000 acres by purchase, largely on Cole's Creek. He was a member of the first general assembly of the territory, and was electd a delegate to congress by the legisltue in Ma 1802, to succeed Narsworth Hunter, deceased, and served from December 6, 1802 to Mar 3, 1803.
His wife, Martha, described as the unfailing "friend of the wretched and unhappy," died November 16, 1805. His death occurred February 7, 1813.
Andrew Jackson was married to Rachel Robards at the home of Thomas M. Green, near the mth of Cole's Creek, i 1791, by Col. Thomas Green, who, according to Sparks' Memories, acted as a justice of the peace by authority of the Georgia legislatu. He may also have been an alcalde, as Georgia had replealed the Bourbon county act. "That there was anything disreputable attached to the lady's name is very improbable," says Sparks, "for she was more than fifteen months in the house of (Thomas M.) Green who was a man of wealth, and remarkable for his pride and fastidiousness in selecting his friends or acquaintances." Two of the Green brothers married nices of Mrs. Jackson who was a Donaldson. Sparks himself married the youngest daughter of Abner Green, territorial treasurer of Mississippi.

History of Port Gibson Mississippi

Among early things of interest is that Andrew Jackson was so delighted with the homes of Abner and Tom Green when he visited them at Gayosa's summer home and at Springfield in the 1780?s, that he acquired a tract of land where Bayou Pierre emptied into the Mississippi River and there built a cabin, trading post and race track. (This was a Spanish land Grant.) After he and Rachel were married at Tom Green's Springfield, they spent their honeymoon of two or three months here (1791)

Encyclopedia of Mississippi history:
During the time of the Spanish occupation of Ntchez, district, "Thomas M. Green and Abner Green were young men at the time, though both were men of family. To both of them Jackson, at different times, sold negroes, and the writer now has bills of sale for negroes sold to Abner Green, in the handwriting of Jackson, bearing his signature, written, as it always was, in large and bold characters, extending quite half across the sheet."

W.H. Sparks - Memories of 50 Years

The friends formed in this section of country by Jackson were devoted to him through life, and when in after life he sent (for it is not true that he brought) his future wife to Mississippi, it was to the house of Thomas M. Green, then residing near the mouth of Cowles Creek, and only a few miles from Bruinsburgh.

Whatever the circumstances of the separation, or the cause for it, between Mrs. Jackson and her first husband,
I am ignorant; I know that Jackson vas much censured in the neighborhood of his home. At the time of her coming to Green's, the civil authority was a disputed one; most of the people acknowledging the Spanish. A suit was instituted for a divorce, and awarded by a Spanish tribunal. There was probably little ceremony or strictness of legal proceeding in the matter, as all government and law was equivocal, and of but little force just at that time in the country. It was after this that Jackson came and married her, in the house of Thomas M. Green.

That there was anything disreputable attached to the lady's name is very improbable; for she was more than fifteen months in the house of Green, who was a man of wealth, and remarkable for his pride and fastidiousness in selecting his friends or acquaintances. He was the first Territorial representative of Mississippi in Congress?was at the head of society socially, and certainly would never have permitted a lady of equivocal character to the privileges of a guest in his house, or to the association of his daughters, then young. During the time she was awaiting this divorce, she was at times an inmate of the family of Abner
Green, of Second Creek, where she was always gladly received, and he and his family were even more particular as to the character and position of those they admitted to their intimacy, if possible, than Thomas B. Green. This intimacy was increased by the marriage of two of the Green brothers to nieces of Mrs. Jackson.

from Library of Virginia

Berryman Green was born 31 January 1753 or 1754 in Westmoreland County, Virginia, to Thomas Green (ca. 1725-ca. 1799) and Lucy Davis Green (ca. 1735-1785). Green's family moved to Prince Edward County, Virginia, and in 1769, he was apprenticed to the court clerk of Charlotte County, Virginia. In 1776, Green enlisted in Henry Lee's (1756-1818) command, then received an appointment as quartermaster for General George Washington?s (1732-1799) staff. In 1781, Green was appointed an assistant deputy quartermaster for the state of Virginia. After the war, Green lived in Westmoreland County, then moved to Halifax County, Virginia in 1787 where he became a planter. Green represented Halifax County in the House of Delegates in 1796. Green married first Anne Pritchard (d. 1787) of Pennsylvania in 1799, and they had five children. He married second Nancy Terry (1758 or 1763-1836) of Halifax County 6 January 1789), and they had six children. Green died in Halifax County 14 September 1825, and was buried in the Terry family cemetery there.

From Library of Virginia

Entered in DAR

My source says: "In the days of primogeniture, Peter Davis would not have referred to Berryman Green in the many legal documents I've found in Prince Edward county as his grandson, if he had not been his grandson by blood. Primogeniture did not go out in VA until 1787. Peter died in 1785 and his will and many other documents prior to his death always referred to Berryman as his grandson. Berryman's first daughter by Ann Pritchard was Lucy Davis Green, who married a Stephen Davenport."

Also, "there is a lot of wrong info on the 'net along with all the misinformation on Berryman re his mother (who is Lucy Davis b. 1736, NOT Lucy Davis Green b. approx. 1778-1779 who is the daughter of Berryman Green and Ann Pritchard) and Thomas Green, Sr. having a first wife. It didn't get started until after the DAR had formed. Berryman died in 1825 and his youngest granddaughter, Emily Green Phillips, wrote a history of the family in 1915 at the age of 80. In it she said that Berryman was the son of Thomas and Lucy Davis Green - which is incorrect as aforestated. Her family writeup is at the DAR."

I think the DAR has since closed this line and no more applications can be submitted on this misinformation.

My source says: "There was a lawsuit, found at the Courthouse in Halifax county over Berryman's estate, that wasn't settled until well after the Civil War, the date 1873 sticks in my head but may be off. The first set of children sued Thomas Jefferson Green, who Nancy Terry Green had made sure was Berryman's administrator, not his oldest son, Anthony. Thomas Jefferson Green was the Halifax County Attorney for 50 years, never distributed the land nor the slaves. The Civil War came along, Thomas Jefferson Green died, his son, Thomas Jefferson Green, Jr. had it tossed out, said since the slaves were free, it was a moot point. The other side of Berryman's family resued and won, said they should have been sharing in what hiring the slaves out had brought in from when Berryman died in 1825 to when the slaves were freed in 1863. Land that Berryman had owned was ordered sold and the proceeds distributed. It's wonderful as it went on so long that a lot of Berryman's descendants are included in the final listing of names."

Military:

Captain Berryman Green, served in the 4th troop of "Light Horse Harry" Lee in 1776, and in 1778 at Valley Forge, PA with General Washington as Paymaster for the First Continental Dragoons. His home, Green's Folly, Halifax, VA is now Green's Folly Golf Course.

Berryman Green enlisted in the Continental Army at age twenty-two and on January 1, 1776, was given the rank of Captain. When he resigned his commission in 1779, he was awarded 4,000 acres of land. While stationd at Valley Forge, PA he d Ann Pritchard at the First Baptist Church in Philadelphia, Philadelphia County, PA. After her death, he married Nancy Terry, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Terry.

We think Berryman Green moved to Halifax County because of his friendship with Nathaniel Terry, Jr. (brother of Nancy Terry) as they served in the American Revolution together at Valley Forge, PA in 1778.

___

There is not one piece of existing documentation, Rev War records, his marriage records, his apprenticeship to become a county court clerk, deeds of his and Peter Davis to him, letters to his wife, that ever give Berryman the first name of William. None of his actual descendants have ever listed him with the name of William Berryman Green. I have data collected from them over the past nearly 40 years and am in touch with several now who have done extensive research. In the time period that Berryman was born, it was very unusual for people to be given two names. I also do not believe he was born in Westmoreland Co. Peter Davis moved his family to Amelia Co. Virginia from Goochland Co. Virginia shortly after buying his first piece of land there in 1742. I have a copy of the deed. Westmoreland Co. is just too far away for Thomas and Lucy to have been there when Berryman was born, since Thomas shows up on the tax lists of Prince Edward county with Peter in 1755, earlier he can be found in Amelia Co. Thomas Green, Berryman's father, is not the son of William Green and Amey Clay, either. Their son, Thomas, is provably out of Virginia before our Thomas died about 1792.

Chief Junaluska, the Cherokee Chief who saved the life of Jackson in Battle and who led 500 Cherokees in support of Jackson at Horseshoe Bend, stated that "If I had known that Jackson would drive us from our homes, I would have killed him at Horseshoe".

GREEN, THOMAS JEFFERSON (1802?1863). Thomas Jefferson Green, soldier and legislator, son of Solomon and Frances (Hawkins) Green, was born in Warren County, North Carolina, in 1802. After attending the United States Military Academy at West Point, he was elected to the General Assembly in North Carolina in 1823. Soon afterward he went to Florida, became a planter, and served as a representative in the Florida legislature. He married Sarah Wharton in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 8, 1830; they had one son, Wharton Jackson Green. John Austin Wharton and William H. Whartonqqv were Sarah's cousins and were raised by her father, Jesse Wharton. Sarah died in 1835. Thomas Green organized the Texas Land Company and moved to Texas in 1836 but abandoned the colonization project to serve in the Texas army. After being commissioned brigadier general, he returned to the United States to raise volunteers, money, and ammunition for the Texas cause.

Beginning on October 3, 1836, Green represented Bexar County in the Texas House of Representatives. In 1837 he was elected to the Senate of the Second Congress, but his seat was declared vacant twenty-five days after the session opened. As a member of the Somervell expedition in 1842 he remained on the Rio Grande when Alexander Somervell turned back; Green was second in command on the Mier expedition. He surrendered to Gen. Pedro de Ampudia and was held at Perote Prison. He escaped and returned to Velasco, Texas, where he was elected to represent Brazoria County in the Eighth Congress.

He returned to the United States just before the annexation of Texas, and moved to California in 1849. He served in the First Senate of California and sponsored the bill creating the University of California. He later became major general of the California militia. In his declining years he returned to North Carolina and settled on Esmeralda Plantation on Schocco Creek, where, according to his son, on December 12, 1863, he died of heartbreak over the reverses of the Confederacy. He was buried in his garden, but in 1905 his remains were reinterred in Fairview Cemetery, Warrenton, North Carolina. Greenville, the county seat of Hunt County, is named in his honor.

The first set of children sued Thomas Jefferson Green, who Nancy Terry Green had made sure was Berryman's administrator, not his oldest son, Anthony. Thomas Jefferson Green was the Halifax County Attorney for 50 years, never distributed the land nor the slaves. The Civil War came along, Thomas Jefferson Green died, his son, Thomas Jefferson Green, Jr. had it tossed out, said since the slaves were free, it was a moot point. The other side of Berryman's family resued and won, said they should have been sharing in what hiring the slaves out had brought in from when Berryman died in 1825 to when the slaves were freed in 1863. Land that Berryman had owned was ordered sold and the proceeds distributed. It's wonderful as it went on so long that a lot of Berryman's descendants are included in the final listing of names."
