Research Notes

Several researchers have suggested that James Caleb Green UE was actually the “Caleb Green” mistakenly identified by the name Caleb in Carpenter Family of America, 1901 by Daniel H. Carpenter. If this is correct, then James was the son of Caleb Green and Abigail Carpenter of Long Island, New York, rather than the Joseph Green of this profile.
