Leyla,
Glad to hear someone else on the web is researching this. I am not too handy with using this webpage, so hope you receive this reply okay. I couldn't figure out how to display your email so am replying to your posted reply.

Richard Green was listed in my family Bible as the father of George Green, my gr-gr-grandfather. I confirmed that much in the 1870 census for Campbell County, Tennessee which shows George, age 1.

George married Polly Ann Wilson and their daughter Nannie Mae Green is my great-grandmother. Nannie Green married William Franklin Lambert, my great-grandfather. Their son Edward Lambert is my Grandpa. Edward married Pauline Barton and their son Dwight Lambert is my father.

All of this is in my Grandmother's Bible which was filled out during an interview with Nannie Mae Green in the 1940s. The family left the LaFollette, Tennessee and Harlan, Kentucky area in the 1930s and ended up in Oregon where my dad was born. They sometimes returned to visit Campbell County, Tennessee to visit. I have a few pictures and recently spoke with Nannie's brother Charlie Green, now over 90 years old, who told me that Richard Green, his grandfather, was supposedly 1/2 Indian, although he admitted that he never met him. Supposedly Richard hunted with a knife and hatchet. I also have a newspaper clipping on Elijah Wilson (father of the above mentioned Polly Ann Wilson) that says the "aging" Richard Green was a Reverend at a Baptist Church. Must be refering to Richard Sr.?

Three questions you may be able to answer:
1) Was Richard in the Civil War?
2) Why was Richard G. Green born in Virginia and his father, Richard G. Green, Sr. born in Carolina? How did you prove the tie between the two?
3) Where does the Indian blood come in? I assume it was Cherokee?

Please send me your email address to:

Dobbie Edward Lambert
