Research note - birth location of "New Bedford, Bristol, Massachusetts" is unlikely for someone to marry and migrate to Caswell NC.
Research note - need verification that her last name was "Pope". DAR records indicate her name was Rachel but do not give last name.
Research note - since William Graham's will was written 20 June 1807 and she is not mentioned, she died prior to that date --- therefore "William Green" must have been her first husband. [???]
Research note - need more information on "William Barclay Green".
