Biography
Burrell Green and Anne Poythress married before December 1721.[1] His wife Anne, daughter of Francis and Rebecca Poythress, was born before 1682 in Virginia.[2]
Burrell died before 19 September 1733, which was the date that the Surry County court recorded an inventory of his estate. Ann Green was listed as "Administratrix".[3]
Residences
Surry County, Virginia: Burrell Green and wife Ann and Francis Poythress "all of Surry" in a land transaction 11 December 1721.[4] (Anne's father Francis Poythress had died by 1721, so this is probably a reference to her brother.)

Warnings when trying to save (18 Feb. 2023):
- Check the data: A child's birth date (Green-187 born 1668) should not be before a parent was 13 years old (mother Grigg-995 born 1668).
- WikiTree+ Suggestions: Unused Span Anchors (Smith, Trial, BatteChart, Poole)
- WikiTree+ Suggestions: Error? Mother too young or not born
- The date warning was fixed by changing the birth year from "after 1668" to "about 1681" (but . I also moved top-of-profile text and some of the bio to the research notes (the following "Estimated Birth Year" section).
Estimated Birth Year: Born about 1681 - 1680 still triggered "mother too young" warning, although it is more likely that either she was born earlier than 1668 or that the source of his given name was not her mother's maiden.
- His WikiTree profile, prior to 20 March 2023, had his birth "before 1668", with text saying "born after 1668/around 1670 in Charles City County, Virginia.[2]
- Smith shows Burwell/Burrell Green, b. ca. 1681[5]
- R. Batte Bolling Papers have his birth about 1680 in Surry County, Virginia.[6]
- Smith also lists Burwell as the son of "Lewis Green II" who was born "ca. 1645/1650 ... d. 28 Apr 1730, Prince George Co, VA; m 1st to possibly a Miss Parham or Miss Grigg; m 2nd to Susannah Grigg, daughter of William & Miss (Burwell) Grigg, b. 1668, Baly’s Creek, Westopher Parish, Charles City, VA. Lewis Green II & his first wife had children, the total that are attributed to each wife is unknown."
Lead
- "follow the land"... a Water Mill?
- D.B. 1746-1749, p. 450, "Burrell Green of Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA, sells 100 acres, land devised by will of Lewis Green , of Prince George Co., who is dec. grandfather of sd.Burrell and his brother Lewis Green, whereon was a Water*Mill.[7]
- ...
- D.B. 1746-1749, p. 450, "Burrell Green of Albemarle Parish, Surry Co., VA, sells 100 acres, land devised by will of Lewis Green , of Prince George Co., who is dec. grandfather of sd.Burrell and his brother Lewis Green, whereon was a Water*Mill.[7]
It being a moiety (half) of land devised by will of Lewis Green (II) of Prince George Co. who is deceased, grandfather of sd.Burrell and his brother Lewis Green, whereon was a water mill.[7]
note - from a private message to Liz, 18 Feb. 2023: "The Lead on the water mill likely belongs to Burwell Green (abt. 1718 Surry VA-1788 Surry VA) s/o William Green (1690-1749) s/o Lewis Green (1645-1730)."

There are no records indicating that Ann and Burrell had children.
If I read all that correctly, I need to detach Sarah (Green) Thweatt from Burwell & Ann (Poythress) Green* and revise the text that says she is.
Cheers, Liz
P.S. I'll go with "Option 2" for Sarah (Green) Thweatt & attach her as daughter of Lewis Green III (abt.1680-bef.1747) & Sarah Unknown (abt.1685-), unless you have info that argues that's wrong too?
* after detaching Green-714, I'll no longer be related to Burwell & Ann, so I'll orphan this profile and removed myself from Anne's. Anything else I should do before I go? (e.g., send me a private message or a trusted list request from Ann's profile if you'd like to be added as a manager before I remove myself; let me know if you'd also like me to add you as a PM for Burwell's profile rather than just adopt it once it's orphaned.)
I've also removed myself as manager for both Burwell & Ann.

Send me a private message. I have documents you will love!
From the profile of Lewis Green "Sr. or IV" (which has the middle initial J?) -
I'll detach his profile from this Burwell Green.
update - It looks like changes this month is what caused the WikiTree incest, but I can't quite follow all the changes. I've added doing a space page for this family to my to-do list. (Mother added in 2018 had been Susannah Grigg - now she's Susannah Green.)

hmm. Seems Burrell, Lewis & Sarah were siblings, children of Lewis. (Sarah m Thweatt... sister, not daughter). see p 25 http://www.crossedbrushstudio.com/windowsintoourpast/Volume-pdf/Volume6.pdf & other sources.
