Biography
Winifred Green was a Virginia colonist.
Winifred Green was born on 17 March 1731 in Prince George, Virginia, the daughter of Henry Green and Eliza (Griffin) Green.[1], [2] She was christened on 23 Apr 1732 at Bristol Parish. [3] (She was the sister of John Green, Henry Green, Dorcas (Green) Jackson, Stephen Green, Frederick Green and Richard Green.)
Winifred is not named in the 1748 will of her father, Henry Green,[4] suggesting that she was deceased by this time.
Research Notes
A previous version of this profile claimed (probably relying only on Don Greene's Shawnee Heritage series, that Winnifrid was born in 1732, the daughter of supposed Native American John Running Fox Green and Elizabeth Unknown, and that she passed away about 1800.
A previous version of this profile also claimed she was a first wife of Edward "old Ned" Sizemore, based on:
- A purported son Ephraim Sizemore named his sons in Stephen and Richard.[citation needed] Winifred had brothers by the same names.
- Edward Sizemore witnessed the 1748 Will of Henry Green.[4]
- In 1761, when Henry Green's son, Henry Green died, a William Sizemore was appointed Executor.[citation needed]
- Ephraim Sizemore applied for a Revolutionary War Pension; after his death Winney applied for a widow's pension. [5] Henry Green testified that he knew Winnie and her husband intimately. [6] NOTE: This pension application was for Winifred wife of Ephraim Sizemore of South Carolina, and has nothing to do with Edward "old Ned" Sizemore (b 1725).[7]
Long-time Sizemore researcher Joy Wright King does not support Winifred being wife of Edward "old Ned" Sizemore or mother of any of his children. She has been detached as his wife.

Winifred Green, born 17 Mary 1731 and christened 23 April 1732 in Bristol Parish, Prince George, Virginia, daughter of Henry Green and Eliza.
BIRTHS FROM THE BRISTOL PARISH REGISTER OF HENRICO, PRINCE GEORGE AND DINWIDDIE COUNTIES, VIRGINIA, 1720-1798, by Chamberlayne shows: Prince George:
P.307 Dorcus, daughter of Henry & Elizabeth Green born 27 Sept. 1726 P.308 WINIFRED, daughter of Henry & Elizabeth Green born 17 Mar. 1731
P.306 Mary, daughter of John & Abigale Green born 9 Aug. 1722 P.308 Jemima, daughter of John & Abigale Green born 28 July 1731
She died prior to her father's will in 1748, but her husband Edward Ned Sizemore-38 was a witness to the will. Ephraim Sizemore-59 appears to be her son born prior to her death, perhaps in childbirth. Ephraim Sizemore-59 named his own sons Stephen and Richard in honor of his maternal Uncles, the brothers of Winifred. his mother.

Please attach Green-1047 to Sizemore-38
Best regards, Lilly Martin
My reading of her father's will (specifically "to be divided among all children") suggests that there may be additional children, not named. This suggests the possibility that Winifred was still living.
Does any other evidence exist to support the Winifred who was born in 1731 having married Edward Sizemore and by him having a child Ephraim? Or is it mostly that a) Edward witnessed Henry's will, and b) Ephraim named two children after his mother's brothers?
Joy King, the premier Sizemore researcher in USA, stated in the past, Winifred was likely dead prior to her father's will, which named all of his children who were living.
The fact that Ephraim named his own sons Richard and Stephen is significant, because those are names not used by the Sizemore family traditionally.
The fact that Ephraim's descendant, was named Richard GREEN Sizemore, s/o William C, s/o Richard, s/o Ephraim Sizemore-59, s/o Edward Sizemore-38.
I can not find any other GREEN connection which would explain these naming patterns specifically attached to Ephraim Sizemore-59 and his father Edward Sizemore-38.
Winifred's death explains why Edward Sizemore-38 married secondly,

Also, we have one Winifred Hart-17165 (the one you want merged with this one) married to Ephraim Sizemore-59; and elsewhere (on Sizemore-38) you say that Winifred Green was first wife of old Ned Edward Sizemore-38.
My head is spinning. :-)
