- 31st March 1753
Anson County.
William Green.
350 acres On the south side of Broad River on Thickety Creek beginning at a white Oak.[20] This land is near Greenville SC and is in the same area as Joseph Greens.
A letter dated 25th September 1754 from Col John Clark to Matthew Rowan requesting that this William Green be made commander of a militia in Anson County in the area of north of the Broad River on Buffalo Creek after killings and abductions by indians.[21]
A letter dated 18th July 1756 written by Gov Arthur Dobbs mentions this William Green as Captain Green.[22] - 15th December 1769 (Issued 25th November 1771 and just after Joseph Greens will was devised.)
Tryon County.
Jacob Green.
200 acres north side of Pacolet River on Green Creek.[23] Area where some of Joseph Greens sons went. See: Some Rivers, Creeks, and Streams In Greenville Co., South Carolina #12
Of these 2 land entries Jacob Green is the son of William Green of the 1753 Anson County NC land entry. Further records for Jacob are as follows:
- July Court 1772
Jacob Green one of 12 men on a Grand Jury, Thomas Neel Timothy Riggs and James McEntire presiding.[24] - July Court 1772
Jacob Green vs Nathaniel Hart for Nathaniel Hart see: NCpedia[25]
This profile is not the same as Green-11259. That Joseph Greens father left a will in Berkeley County Virginia Devised 12th November 1776 and probated 21st March 1780. Further records at Page 189 & Page 216. The statement in that will, "I will and bequeath to my Grandson William Green son and heir of my son Joseph Green" implies that Green-11259 was alive on 12th November 1776 or William the grandson had yet to receive any part of his fathers estate. William son of this Joseph Green had already received his inheritance by 12th November 1776 and was fighting on the wrong side in the Revolutionary War. His siblings received their inheritance as they reach their majority. The residue of this Joseph Greens estate was distributed by James McAfee, 2nd July 1784 to all his children which was £110 current money of North Carolina.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Joseph by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Joseph:

Second piece of evidence is the Will of William Green I of Berkeley County, Virginia. 12 Nov 1776: Will book 1,21 Mar 1780. "...ITEM I will and bequeath to my Grandson William Green son and heir of my son Joseph Green, One shilling sterling..." This has historically been the only source linking William and Joseph.
The author of Frank L.M. Wolford & Laura May Green, Their Ancestors & Descendants Compiled by Loraine Russell Kerns & Alma Wolford Russell 2004, Loraine, writes: "DNA is not strong evidence. I really cannot confirm Joseph is the son of William. He could be a brother or even a nephew and it would still come up with a match. It would be great if there were more participants for this family in Y-DNA testing." I believe this needs to be put in quantitative centi-morgan type DNA verbage with analysis.
You may be aware of WT's error report regarding a duplicate source reference (F-a-G) for this profile and Joseph Green (abt. 1726 - bef. 1776). The details may differ, but the relationships appear to confirm that these are duplicates. I am still vague how the Green's of northern Virginia Berkeley county are related to the Greens of northern South Carolina Tryon county, but it is widely accepted family history on our side.
I see this as a golden opportunity to merge and preserve two diverse family history versions. The latter profile has some disagreements between the vitals and the facts presented in the biography. The biography content comes from two Green family history books which both center on the descendants of Old William Green (~1695-~1779) through his son, Regnal Green (~1724-~1834) and minimal info on Regnal's siblings, so our version would take a back seat to yours. These profiles have probably avoided obvious duplicate identification due to widely varying date estimates.
Since the two books were written in 1978 and 2004, our version has shifted from Regnal being William & Dinah's oldest son to Joseph being William's oldest known son from a marriage previous to Dinah, thus moving his birth year estimate earlier. This profile lags behind the current discussion of maturing theories. I would like to begin a discussion so we can outline a plan of action before initiating a merge. We all need to review both profiles and list similarities, differences and potential merge conflicts. Thank you for responding.

I like how scroll boxes add to profiles!
Do you think we should put the will in a green framed rolling box?
