Thomas married Phoebe Ann Driscoll about 1806 in Halifax Co, Virginia. Phoebe was born on 09 Sep 1809 in Connecticut; died on 11 Apr 1880 in Marshfield, Webster Co, Missiouri. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Daniel married Lucy Davis Green on 15 Apr 1785 in Prince Edward Co, Virginia. Lucy (daughter of Major Thomas (not son of Wm & Amey) Green and Lucy Davis) was born about 1768 in Prince Edward Co, Virginia; died after 1785. [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


Residence:
a deed shows that Thomas Green purchased 200 acres of land from Peter Davis on April 25, 1761 in Prince Edward County, Virginia.

Died:
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.

Thomas married Lucy Davis about 1761 in Prince William Co, Virginia (prob). Lucy (daughter of Peter Davis and Catherine Priest) was born about 1735; died in 1785. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Research Notes: 26 Dec 2010; mother of Berryman Green?

Notes:

There is documentary proof that Peter Davis was the blood grandfather of Berryman Green, Thomas and Lucy's oldest son.

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. 1178-1779 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.

Research Notes:
see individual notes.
unclear -- found statements saying Lucy Davis father stated Berryman as his grandson. But also states that it is error that Lucy Davis is his mother - that name was confused with his daughter. ????
