Narrative
story about the Green's of Jackson County probably applies:
Information from Jackson County, TN Family History sent to us by Charlene Carver McClain, from "Families of Jackson County, TN", a book.
"The Green family came to America from Ireland. Family tradition says that John Green's brother, Thomas Green, brought the family's inheritance in gold, in the bottom of his saddle bags. He pretended to be a whetstone peddler. The whetstones were used to disguise and cover-up for the weight and fullness of his saddle bags. (This must have been at least one generation back from John and Thomas, maybe more, as they are listed in all Census records as being born in Tennessee.)"
Earliest known record: certificate warrant 210, registry #5359 "Thomas Green 15 acres... waters of Indian Cr.... beg at Dogwood and Beech marked by Daniel Wilbourn for Hugh Stewart as NW corner... 22 Oct. 1810 Wm.Cook, Loc" from Building Neighborhoods...by Betty Huff Bryant. In margin: "Thomas Green assignee of Enos Nolen & originally of Henry Fooner"
Note, at same time, entries for William and David Young - http://www.ajlambert.com/history/strybufv.pdf
Not sure if this is the same Thomas Green in Smith Co, TN:
13 Nov 1813 - Called to jury duty in Smith Co, TN ( not selected - later transcribed as "Thomas S Green")
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:2:77TV-BPWK?i=198&cat=222210
, and land sales along Caney Creek - 1808-1814. And testator in a probate Sep 1812 Thomas S Green
Resurveyed in Aug 1 1815.
[hmmm: Jonathan Green and Daniel Wilbourne were earliest settlers in Wilson Co, TN 1790-1800 - http://genforum.genealogy.com/ensley/messages/458.html]

| Narrative |
I've added John Green here (Theresa Young's ancester) only because stories say they were brothers, his family lived near their parents farm, he named a daughter Melinda, and he was buried in the same cemetery. He appears however to be Native American instead of Irish.
Some biography of these Greens here - http://www2.okstate.edu/wcross/crossgene.html#little
A reference to their location in Jackson County, TN here - http://newsarch.rootsweb.com/th/read/TNJACKSO/2007-03/1175060076 Neither Thomas Green or Nancy can be identified in any census! I suspect they were living in William Brannon's hh in 1820 Smith Co, TN. Note both children's first born are named William.
land records from "Building Neighborhoods..." Brannon is not a common name in early TN/NC. It is Irish and it's possible the Green's and Brannon's came together from Ireland. |
