I am interested in information on the GREEN(E) surname in the Edgefield Co., SC (# 96 District) area, from 1750 onward.
I am mainly interested in finding the Parents and Siblings of my ancestor, JOHN GREEN - b: between 1762 - 1767 in SC.
The following is all I know of my JOHN GREEN in his early years............

In his 1832 Rev War Pension deposition, my Green ancestor - JOHN GREEN, claimed he was born on a creek called Rocky Creek in SC and when he was a child his family moved to Tryon Co., NC. Then, John says, "that when he was 16 years old he went back to SC in the summer of 1781 and enlisted at Cherokee Ponds, to serve in the Rev War". After John served 12 months in the war, he said he "continued serving with his unit along the Savannah River until he reached his home - about one mile north of Augusta".
John then claims - "he gave his father his discharge papers."
(Unclear if he did this in the Rocky Creek area of SC or in Tryon Co., NC).
John says that he "then went to Rutherford Co., NC where he married (wife not named) and stayed for eight years and then moved on to Burke Co., NC".

Does anyone have info on any GREEN families who were located in the Rocky Creek area of # 96 District South Carolina in the 1760's ???
Thanks for any help,

My Greens were in the area of question

Can you tell me who your oldest Green ancestor's name was ? - who lived in the District #96 - Edgefield area of South Carolina back around 1750's and 1760's?
I cannot locate the right Green family for my particular John Green - there are just so many John's.

Thanks for any help,

Gardner Green was living on Rocky Creek which was later located in Greenville county. With county boarders continually changing, a little more research will be needed to find out how close your John and my Gardner were to each other. Gardner's father is a John Green, so I'm wondering your John might be Gardner's brother. I'm including a land plat for Isom Franklin also, because this is Gardner Green's neighbor. We believe our Green family was also in Rowan, Tryon, Rutherford NC areas. Hope this helps.
