Green Family.--From "The Greene Family of Watauga," by Rev. G. W. Greene, we learn that the first Greene to come to America came from Wiltshire, England, to Massachusetts about 1635. His name was John, but he was a Quaker and soon joined Roger Williams in Rhode Island, and from him in the fifth generation sprang Gen. Nathaniel Greene, of the Revolution. Early in the eighteenth century one branch of this family went
Page 312
to New Yourk State and settled near Brooklyn, but soon passed on to New Jersey, where many of its members became prominent. But about the middle of the eighteenth century Jeremiah Greene came to North Carolina with the Jersey settlers and bought 541 acres of land on the waters of Pee Dee, near Linwood. This was about 1762. Jeremiah's son, Isaac, and himself remained in the Jersey settlement, but "Stephen Greene, who was probably a younger son of Jeremiah Greene, in 1784 settled in the Forks of the Yadkin, and has left in Davie County a large and honorable progeny." Soon after the Revolution three sons and two daughters of Jeremiah Greene left the Jersey Settlement and moved to what is now Watauga, then a part of Wilkes. These brothers were Richard, Jeremiah and John, all them married, as were their sisters, Joanna, to Landrind Eggers, and Sarah, to a man named Wilson. Richard, the eldest, settled at Blowing Rock and was accompained by his father-in-law, an old man named Sullivan. He brought a tombstone with him and died February 27, 1794. His coffin was hewed out of a poplar tree when the wood was frozen hard. The stone still stands in the graveyard of the German Reformed Church, one mile from Blowing Rock. This is the inscription:
E. E. S 1794.
It will (was) noticed that the S is upside down. But, according to Mr. Greene's sketch, the inscriptin is:
F 27
1794.
If he is right, then F probably stands for February and 27 for the day of that month on which he died.
The brothers, Jeremiah and John, settled in the middle of the eastern part of the county, while the sisters, Mr. Greene thinks, probably lived nearer the borders of Tennessee, which is true of the one who married Landrine Eggers, at least, and possibly of the other also, according to the Wilson she mrried. Richard Greene's children were eight in number, the first five of whom had twelve each, two others had ten each, while one had to be contented with seven. Jeremiah Greene, whose wife was Polly Wiseman, an aunt of J. W. Wiseman, of Farmington, had
Page 313
eleven children, his oldest son, Isaac, living to be seventy-nine years old. At his deth he counted eleven children, 102 grandchildren and 100 great-grandchildren. Isaac's son, Solomon, lived to be quite old, eighty-five, and had twenty-one children, 160 grandchildren and 160 great-grandchildren, and two or three of the fifth generation. This was in 1886, and he lived two or three years longer. His eldest sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Norris, was then ninety-two years old. John "Moccasin" Greene with part of his family moved to Mitchell, then a part of Burk, while his brother moved to Rutherford. John "Moccasin: died in Madison Counyty in 1852 when more than ninety years old. The most noted member of the fmily was Judge L. L. Greene, of the Superior Court, of whom a sketch is given below.
Judge Leonidas L. Greene.--He was born in Watauga County, at Blowing Rock, on the 11th day of November, 1845, and was elected judge of the Superior Court in 1896 and served till his death in 1898. He was a son of Robert Greene and his wife, Chaney Elrod. He was a consummate politician and managed party affairs adroitly. On March 1, 1876, he married Martha Horton, a daughter of Col. Jack Horton, who survives him. Judge Greene's portrait hangs over the judge's desk in the county court house in Boone. He left two children, Albina, who married Frank Mandefield, of Duluth, and Wilhelmetta, unmarried. Judge Greene was also United States commissioner. He was considered a good lawyer and enjoyed a large practice. He was a good neighbor and well liked.
Who did Martha marry? Did she die in NC, because I can't find her death cert and I may be able to find it with her married name.
Hope this all helps.
