<b>In Reply to:</b> <u>Lewis Green & Esther Kilgore <b></u>by:</b> <u>Laurie Levy</u>

I too am researching the Howard/Arnett lineage. I have Esther Kilgore married James Gareen Jr. Thier daughter was Elizabeth Green b. 1780, d, 1855 in Breathett, Ky, who married James Howard. He was son of Elizebeth Howard b.1784 Va d.bef. 1860 and Stephen Arnett b. 1782 Russell Va. d. bef.1850 Floyd Co,Ky. Thier son Reuben Arnett b.1808-1818 married Sally Mann 1827 Ky. Thier son Jackson Arnett b. 1836 d. 1872 KY, He married Lurana(Louranny) Howard b.1840 d. 1918 Thier son was Harris Arnett b. 1862 d. 1912 who married LouQueen(Luquena) Shepherd,daughter of Brice(Flitterfoot)Shepherd (civil war vet.) Thier daigjter was Barbara Ann Arnett b.1896 d. 1945 W,Portsmouth, Oh. She is my mother-in-law. She married Grover Cleveland Howard b.1888 d.1964 in Ohio. I know this is long and I hope it helps someone. Barb showard8@bellsouth.net

This woman needs some help - to begin with, Esther Kilgore married Lewis Green NOT James Gareen, Jr. She is also confusing This Elizabeth Howard who married Stephen Arnett with someone else. Since James Howard could not possibly be the son of the above couple. LCL - Mar 27, 2003

Birth Note

According to her death certificate, Elizabeth was born 1768 - in Harlan Co, KY. This can't be correct.

Death Note

In reference to Elizabeth Green - a death listing for an Elizabeth Green can be found at KHS on microfilm of Vital Statistics 1852-1861 Breathitt Co, KY. Her death is July 1855 at age of 87, married (means James still living), born Harlan, KY, parents Lewis and Elizabeth Green. Resided and died at Quicksand, Breathitt Co. Means her birth was about 1768. Was Lewis Sr. also in Rev. War? How does David know the pension record dates are wrong for Thomas and James? Have heard this before - but no proof. Their parents are traditionally listed as Thomas and Lettie. Does ANYONE have death record for James Howard, husband of Elizabeth? He and wife are in 1850 census with Greenville Howard but not in 1860.

Marriage Note

It is assumed that Elizabeth married Joseph STAPLETON before she married James HOWARD. James was living at the time of Elizabeth's death - she was listed as "married."

According to her death certificate, Elizabeth was born 1768 - in Harlan Co, KY.

Merchant and Baptist preacher

James Green, Sr.
On December 31, 1782, James Green, Sr., husband of Jane Porter, and Robert Kilgore, Sr. left their hunting camp at the mouth of Indian Creek and Pound River and crossed a ridge heading toward Kentucky. They left <b>*</b>a man by the name of McKinney<b>*</b> in the camp. Two gunshots were heard by McKinney, followed by the unearthly yells of Indians. Before McKinney could grab his gun, he saw Robert Kilgore running for his life toward the encampment, shouting, "Run McKinney, leave all, save yourself!"
McKinney didn't wait to be told a second time. As he reached the crest of the ridge, he looked back, to see James Green fall, closely pursued by Mingoes. Green sprang up, grabbed out his hunting knife, but before the Indians reached him he collapsed. As the sun was sinking, McKinney reached Fort Blackmore.
By first light of the following day, the militia was on its way far up Stoney Creek, reaching the hunters encampment long before sunrise on January 1, 1783. No Indians could be found, but the camp had been pillaged. Next morning, they found the scalped remains of James Green, with an Indian arrowhead in his right eye. He was buried in a hollow chestnut tree on the north bank of the Pound River, a short distance above the mouth of Indian Creek.
[<b>Note</b>:* "a man by the name of McKinney" - Martha Hutchinson, sister of Peter Hutchinson, married George McKinney. Peter Hutchinson was married to Nancy Susan Green. Nancy was James Green Sr's sister. I suspect that the McKinney in this story was this George McKinney.]

From Gate City Herald 9-26-1946:
Jean Porter b.1763 Augusta Co., moved to Porters Ft. 1772. The murderous end of Charles Kilgore and her husband, James Green, by Indians out on the Pound River, caused consternation in the little settlement around Fort Blackmore. People living outside the stockade moved inside the fort. The Kilgore family was already there and hither came immediately the young widow, Jean Porter Green. She had her son and named him after his father, James. By nature, Jean Green was cheery; there was a lilt in her voice that radiated joy. She liked company and, as the Kilgore widow needed company, it did not require much discussion on either side to work out an arrangement. She would tell her young son. "Jimmie, you have your daddy's eyes, I want you to grow up to be as good a man as he."
Two years after the death of her husband, Jean Porter Green married the young Robert "Robin" Kilgore. Little James never missed his father, though; early in his life his mother often told him the tragic story of his real father's death. Not long after their marriage, they went to live as man and wife near Nickelsville and on the bank of Copper Creek. The old log blockhouse erected by Kilgore as a defense against intruding Indians is still standing. James Green, Jr had a number of half-brothers and sisters. Their descendants have kept alive some of the incidents of this story. Other parts have been joined to the story of James Green, Sr.'s demise and handed down through the Green descendants. Still other parts are probably presumptions for time and distance both create halos and through these, neither the eye nor memory can penetrate with certainly. One fact is unanimous, Robert and Jean walked loyally and dutifully together down through the years. Jean Porter Green Kilgore was laid to rest in the old Nickelsville Cemetery in the year 1842, near the old Baptist Church in which her second husband often preached. In 1854, Robert Kilgore was laid beside her and thus fulfilled the fateful, even if carelessly spoken words of James Green, to take care of Jean till he should come back

Historical Sketches of Southwest Virginia, Publication 23 - 1989
Historical Society of Southwest Virginia
That James Green was killed by the Indians is proven by two sources. The first of these is a letter written by Colonel Arthur Campbell to the Governor of Virginia, dated January 29, 1783, stating:
"On Christmas day last (1782) the Indians attacked the house of John Ingles (English) on Clinch, in this county, scalped and otherwise grievously wounded a young man of the name of Cox, overtaken in the field. The second day afterward, as the Indians were making off toward the head of Sandy River they came on three hunters, two of whom they killed."
The second proof comes from Russell County, Virginia Court Order Book 3, page 266, dated December 27, 1803, and reads:
Ordered that it be certified to the Registrar of the Land Office that it is proven to this court that James Green is the son and heir at law of James Green, who was killed by the savages on the 31st of December 1782, and that the said James Green was born on the 12th of February 1783.
That James Green, Jr., was born posthumously and the only child of James Green, Sr., proves that his father was a young man, and had been married only a short time when he was killed. In fact, his mother, Jane Porter, was born in 1761, and at the time her husband, James Green, was slain, was twenty-one years old. The son, James Green, Jr., grew to manhood in Scott County, Virginia, and married Dulcena Stallard, and many of their descendants live in Virginia and Kentucky. Not only the Greens, but Stuarts, Todds, Prices, Porters, and many other families of Virginia and Kentucky are descendants of the Walker family.
According to "Dunmore's War Records", pp. 229-230 - James Green was among those paid, in the first pay period during Dunmore's War (1774), Captain William Russell's Company.

Killed by Chief Benge near what is now Pound, Wise Co., VA. on Dec. 31, 1782. Married Jane Porter, dau. of Patrick Porter & Susannah Ann Walker. He was a bosom friend of Daniel Boone. James Green, Sr. sprang from an illustrious race. His fore fathers came of the same stock as the great seekings of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. The Greens on coming to Va. were cavaliers. Robert Green (great-grandfather) landed in Culpepper County, VA in 1712 direct from England. Robert Green and his wife, Eleanor Duff, had 7 children.

On the authority of Prof. A. J. Wolfe, Big Stone Gap, James Green, Sr. was a close relative of Nathaniel Green who gave Cornwallis his greatest lesson of the Revolutionary War. (Nathaniel was the brother of Robert Green )
By tradition, James Green, Sr. was a great hunter, a dead rifle shot and greatly feared by the Indians. James and Jane lived on Stoney Creek in Scott Co., Va. He was one of the very first settlers in the area.
In September, 1782, James Green, Sr., Charles Kilgore and a man named McKinney were to hunt in the Pound County area, well known for it's abundance of game, for venison and bear meat for the coming winter. The hunting party was to be away for a period of ten days to two weeks. Robert Kilgore, 18 year old son of Charles Kilgore, was to remain to help care of Jane Porter Green, expecting the couples first child.
Shortly before time to leave, while awaiting the arrival of the other hunters, James asked Jean, "Jean, are you afraid for me to leave you?" To this unusual question, Jane replied, "No, James, I am not afraid and I want you to go." After a time, James said: "I feel queer this morning, I had a dream last night, but then, you know I don't believe in dreams....I dreamed a green fly "blowed" me in the right eye. It hurt and work me up. I fell asleep again and had the same dream, and again the third time; which so excited me that I called to you. I was happy it was only a dream."
The three hunters started off northward up the pathless windings of Stony Creek five miles to Hunter's Valley and then began the long wearisome climb up the southern slope of Stone Mountain. As late as noon, they reached the spring in the notch of the foot of the High Knob. Here the party halted for rest, a drink of cooling water, a bit of refreshing food. On the way they had seen a few deer tracks, had heard the characteristic "put-put" of the wild turkey hen and the "gobble-gobble" of the proudly strutting mate, on a far away ridge the chatter of countless wild pigeons, the muffled "bleating" of the pheasant, and in the high tops of numerous chestnut trees call of the gray squirrel. But no trace of Indians, or "Injuns" as they were want to call them, came to their notice. They did not risk firing a gun all day for they knew that this month was also the season for hunting for the Indians. As they rested, they made their plans....... two guns would be kept loaded and "primed", they would walk in Indian file (that is one behind another, stepping as nearly as possible in each others tracks), do no talking while on the move, carefully avoid breaking twigs or doing anything to indicate probable numbers or directions. They would only build campfires at night in a secluded hollow; previously noting possible ways of escape. Only two would sleep or hunt at any one time and have weapons ready and in reach. "For we must be always ready", said Green. The third would keep guard at camp and prepare the food. After procedures had all been worked out, there were a few moments of silence. Normally a man of action and little words, James Green was the first to break the silence. He wanted to talk. He told of his reluctance to leave Jean and his need to be available for her soon as time for the baby drew nearer. He also related his dream and said that Jean has told him "dreams mean nothing", but every moment the recollection of the fly blow in my eye comes back to haunt me, for it stung and hurt. "I want us to hurry on to the pound, get our meat and hasten back home. I know Robin will take good care of Jean 'till I come, for I have asked him to and he always does what he says, but let's be going" James said.
The three hunters arose and walked rapidly and silently down the step mountainside northward past the modern town of Norton, past Wise courthouse, arriving at night fall in the edge of Pound Co., on Indian Creek. The whole day they had not seen a human being or the abode of one. Jim Green went always in front and was ever on the alert. They pitched camp in a quiet cove and Jim took first watch. His thoughts surely back in his cabin home and to his brave cherry Jean, whose voice, tradition says, was liquid clear as the bobwhite and whose pleasing presence was a beam of sunshine after a storm. He recalled that this was the first time in their married life, almost two years, that they had spent a night's separation and vowed it should be the last. He related to his companions the next morning his thoughts that he had heard a whip-poor-will chanting to his mate his nightly dirge. And Green said, with a glint in his eye, "The whip-poor-will seemed to say -- Injuns-Jim, Injuns-Jim", but later said "whip-her-well, whip-her-well". The friends merely laughed and dismissed every unlucky foreboding, just as Jim.
The plans for the hunt were quickly made, one of the party was to stay back and make temporary shelter that would serve as an invisible hiding place from intruding Indians and as a protection against meddlesome wild varmints. The others would look around, reconnoiter for game and "Injun" signs. The first day passed uneventfully and satisfactorily, for no trace of a "Redskin" was observed, but the feeding places of numerous deer and the well-known bear marks were noted.
The second day, Green and Kilgore started out early together. An hour later, two gun shots rang down from the crest of a ridge several hundred yards away; succeeded a moment later by the unearthly yells of the terrible and dreaded Indian war-hoop. Before McKinney could grab his gun and collect himself, he looked out and saw Kilgore running toward the encampment. As he ran for dear life, he shrieked out, "Run, McKinney, leave all! Save yourself!" Not having to be told a second time, McKinney ran and as he reached the crest of a near ridge which would afford momentary protection, he looked around in time to see Green fall, closely pursued by yelling Mingoes. Green sprang up, grabbing out his hunting but before the Indian got to him, collapsed. Know defense was in vain and delay fatal, the young man dashed down the eastern slope, hoping now to out-distance the numerous foe and get word to the fort on the Cinch. As the sun was sinking behind the western hills he arrived at Fort Blackmore.
A posse was formed and by daylight it was far up Stony Creek, reaching the encampment long before sundown. No Indian foe could be found, but the camp had been pillaged. Net morning a reconnoitering party found the scalped remains of Kilgore and a few hundred yards away the boy of James Green with an arrowhead in his right eye. There were marks of a hand-to-struggle. The body lay prone on the groun, his face turned away from camp as if toward the point of danger. Thus, all knew Jim Green had looked death in the face just as every morning he met the rising sun. The bodies were placed in the hollow of a fallen giant chestnut and the opening closed.
There was no press and little exchange of letter during these early times. Gruesome and tragic as the ending was, there were many others of like kind. Memory of these events has been kept alive only in the descendants of those two early South West Virginia families.
In John Preston McConnell's book "Who am I", He states: "The question has been asked time and time again about the big chestnut tree that James Green Jr and Charlie Kilgore were buried in. John Preston McConnell said he saw the tree. He is the only person known to have said he saw that tree." John Preston McConnell was the President of Radfors State Teacher's College.

From: ShirleyhO To: LaurieMcK

Hi Laurie,
I asked, at DAR National, if Lewis Green has a child Elizabeth who is established (proven) in their records.

We checked apps and NONE of Lewis Green's children are named. In an index for a Harlan Co KY history (no author or year is given) there is listed in Part 2 a Lewis and Elizabeth and others on pages 19-20. The DAR does not have this book, you would have to obtain it from Salt Lake or a Harlan Co Library.

Elizabeth is not named in the will of Lewis Green. The will proven Nov 1835 names 2 grandsons and a granddaughter. 2 sons, Elisha and James are named executors.

The Percifulls and Their Kinsmen (McClung Historical Collection in Knoxville TN) has a list of Lewis Green's children that includes Elizabeth b 1798 marr _____Stapleton.
There is not enough data above to establish Elizabeth as a daughter of Lewis Green. If you have something that proves the relationship.....great!!! (NOTE: This Lewis Green must be Jr. Lewis Green, Jr. died in 1835.)

Are you in Oregon? Are you planning on joining Beaver Chapter? I need to know for my records.

---Military 1756 - Aug. 1757, VA
He enlisted in Capt. Robert McKensie's company from Dinwiddie Co, VA at the age of 30, at the rank of Private in the French and Indian War. He was stationed at Fort Nashboro in Nashville, TN . He also served in the Rev. War from VA.
---Source: Elaine Gen. - she says he died 6 Aug. 1785 in Washington Co, VA.

---Source: Manuscripts by Dr. Draper as told to him by Daniel Boone (Green Family GenForum) 1999:
Lewis Green was almost killed by a bear while hunting with two other men. They thought he would die and left him in their hunting cabin. Lewis managed to cover himself with turkey feathers which the other men had left in a hole in the dirt floor of the cabin and survived by eating jerky that was hanging from the roof. When the men came back to bury him in the Spring, They found Lewis alive and not too happy, to say the least. A shot was heard one night and one of his hunting companions was never heard of again. No one asked any questions. Lewis Green's legs healed over the turkey feathers and he was called "Feathered Man" after that.

---Source: Green Family GenForum, posted by PARK on 24 April 1999:
Listed in 1790 and 1795, Russell Co., VA Personal Property Tax List, Upper District. He was a vestryman in the church at Kilgore Station (Church of England) and was very brown in complexion. Lewis owned 41 acres of land adjacent to Porter's Fort in March of 1774.

In about 1772, he moved to Porter's Fort, present day Scott County, VA. He left Porters Fort October about 1784 for what is now Nashville, TN (Nashboro) with his son Zachariah and his family, daughter Sarah Green Payne, her husband, Josiah Payne, his father, Matthew Payne, father and other relatives and friends. Lewis took sick and called his daughter, Sarah Payne, and others to witness his last will. As he lay ill on the trail he dictated an oral will to the party which in turn, was attested to in Davidson County (now Nashville, Tennessee) on April 4, 1785. This will named only Sarah and Zachariah. Besides bequeathing a certain Negro fellow named Charles to Zachariah, that he should serve no other person and that his son Zachariah should pay all his debts. He stated his children were married and gone from him, and they had already received their portion which he allotted them. He died soon after on Blue Spring Road en route to Nashboro and the Cumberland Settlement and his widow married Andrew Payne,

Interested in info concerning Lewis Green, who accompanied Boone to KY on at least one trip. Green was an early or perhaps the first settler on that stretch of the Cumberland River near the present Bell Co./Harlan Co. line, where he established a tannery. Also need info concerning his or his wife's relationship to Cherokee or Melungeons, as referred to by Dr. N.B. Kennedy in his Melungeon book. Related to Nathaniel Green?

Following is a roster of men stationed at Fort Moore in 1777 found on the following Webpage: http://www.rootsweb.com/~varussel/other/forts.html
Go there for a very interesting explanation of the Frontier Forts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Moore's Fort was the largest and most widely known of the Clinch chain of forts.

No description has been left of the size or shape of Moore's Fort, but we know it had two gates, a front and back one, with the front gate opening toward the spring which one may still see by visiting the spot. This was the fort that sheltered Daniel Boone and his family after their return to the Clinch in 1773, when Boone's son and others were killed by the Indians on Wallen's Creek in his first command at a Kentucky settlement. By petition of the people of Blackmore's Fort, Daniel Boone was placed in command of Moore's and Blackmore's Forts in 1774 as a Captain of militia and continued in command of them until he went to Kentucky in the spring of 1775 to found Boonesboro. While living on the Clinch, a son was born to Daniel and Rebecca Boone, whose name was William, and who died soon after birth and lies in an unmarked grave in the old Moore's Fort Cemetery on the brow of a hill overlooking the fort and Clinch River.

We learn from the pension statement of James Fraley that Moore's Fort must have been large - perhaps the largest fort on the frontier. He says that there was continuously some 20 families in the fort, with 20 or 25 men out on patrol as Indian spies. Considering the large size of pioneer families, plus the militia assigned to protect the fort it surely must have sheltered from one hundred fifty to two hundred people, and it would have taken a large stockade to quarter and shelter this number of people.

Moore's Fort was attacked many times by Indians, and many settlers and militiamen were killed in and around the fort.

LEWIS J. GREEN JR.; b. 5 May 1751 at Fort Blackmore, VA, who was posted at Moore's Fort under the command of Daniel Boone 30 June 1777, had a son, ELIJAH GREEN, b. 3 Oct 1786 in Bell County, Kentucky and married Sarah Hendricksen whose family may have been from North Carolina. I am looking for any and all records that would prove that this ELIJAH GREEN was the son of LEWIS J. GREEN JR.

Also looking for any proof of connection between Lewis J. GREEN SR. b abt 1724 in Orange Co.

Frontiersman Green Of Bell County Walked with Boone
By J. Emerson Miller

The raw material of the history of Bell County's "first families" waits to be hunted out. Little of it has been preserved. Few of the early settlers took the trouble to preserve letters or other family papers or other personal memorabilia. Many were destroyed by fire or flood, many were destroyed as worthless or lost, occasionally they were deposited for safekeeping in some secure place and forgotten.

Most of the older family Bibles, containing records dating from early in the last century, have disappeared. Pioneer families hewing homes out of the wilderness, fighting Indians, and producing food and homespun clothing for a family often of patriarchal sizes, had little leisure for anything else. This fact renders genealogical study of any of the families who first ventured across the mountains extremely difficult.

Hard Times Told
The area of which Bell County is a part was largely settled by yeoman farmers and small planters from the "back country" of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas who had been rendered almost destitute by hard times following the American Revolution. They liked the solitude of the hills and the congenial climate. They were mountain people by choice and there they would not be hampered by poverty, for nature had provided everything. And they didn't like to be crowded. They saw they could settle here up the creeks and hollows away from the mainstreams of travel and not be crowded.

By the end of 1810 there were 932 families within the present boundaries of Knox, Harlan, Whitley and Bell Counties (KY); 35 of these were of German or Swiss extraction, people whose forbearers had come over to Pennsylvania from the German Palatinate early in the century.

Probably three-fourths of the newcomers were members of long established in Virginia, the other fourth being mostly from North Carolina and Pennsylvania in that order.

Received Land
Among the early settlers were men who had received land warrants in part payment of their service in the Continental army, in Indian uprisings, or in defense of the frontier. Some had fought under Gen. Isaac Shelby and Col. Arthur Campbell at Cowpens and old leaders, and had followed them and established home in this vicinity.

Without attempting to fix responsibility for this neglect the fact that many of these
"over-mountain men", whose heroism in the darkest days of the Revolution crushed the British and hastened our independence, lie unhonored in unknown and unmarked graves.

Lewis Green, Jr., ancestor of many Bell County folk has the distinction of being the only Revolutionary patriot who had just homage paid in memory. The Mountain Trail Chapter, Daughter of the American Revolution, years ago erected a marker on the Harlan road near the site of his grave and that of his wife, reciting his military history.

Enlisted in 1777
Pension records show that he enlisted in the spring of 1775 at Blackeman's Fort on Clinch River, Russell, then Washington County, and served throughout the war a total of 7 years in companies under Gen. Isaac Shelby and his father, Gen. Evan Shelby and as a scout, guarding the frontier from the Indians. He was a partner of Daniel Boone in 1775 on an expedition to the interior of Kentucky, and went with another party as far as Harrod's Fort.

Endowed with all of the rugged virtues which the rough life of the frontier fostered, Lewis Green seems to have borne a "charmed life." He had many brushes with the Indians, had countless individual fights, had many hairbreadth escapes, was never captured, never scalped.

Coming to Kentucky from his home in Russell County, Va., after the close of the war, he acquired large tracts of land along the Cumberland River in what is now Bell and Harlan Counties, and established what is thought to have been the first tannery west of the Appalachians.

Cumberland Ford, a few miles distant, was a favorite spot for the early trappers and hunters for drying deerskins. Deer came there in great numbers for pasturage and to lick the salt at nearby salt licks and were easily killed.

Buffalo Disappear
The rush of settlers after Kentucky became a state meant the early disappearance of the buffalo and the deer, basis of the Indian economy, but it seems likely that Lewis Green did a thriving business tanning deerskins while buckskin was in common use. That was the era of the famous Kentucky hunting skirt fastened with buckskin tongs. Belts, breeches and moccasins were all of deerskin.

The destruction of many of the record books, including the early marriages of Washington and Russell County, which was formed from Washington in 1787, unquestionably prevents us from knowing many of the facts essential for a complete and correct account of the Green family lineage. There is a persistent tradition in one branch of the family that Lewis Green the Bell County settler, belonged to the Culpepper, Virginia, set of Greens, one of whom was Willis Green, first clerk of Lincoln County, KY., of which Bell was originally a part.

The fact that members of the Green family of Southwestern Virginia were hunters, surveyors, Indian fighters and explorers has led others to conclude that the Greens and Paynes were neighbors of the Boones in Pennsylvania prior to the appearance of the latter group in the Shenandoah.

Born in 1710
Lewis Green, Sr., was born in 1710 and there are indications that he married about 1740, although the name of his wife has not been discovered, unless she can be identified as the person of the given name, Elizabeth, who appears in the records of Washington County in 1797 as "old and infirm" and gave power of attorney to "my son-in-law Moses Foley." She died about 1803, intestate. Appraisal of her estate was presented to the court by Zachariah Green. Moses Foley migrated to Knox County, KY sometime after 1810, performed many marriages in the county as minister or justice of the peace. The Foley family has been prominent in Bell and Whitley Counties for generations.

The Greens settled in Washington County, VA in 1773 when it was still part of Botetourte County, and deeds reveal land conveyances with members of the Kilgore family formerly of Caswell County, North Carolina.

Lineage Traced
The lineage of the Kilgore Family members of which moved from Chester County, PA to Orange County, NC, about 1740, has been traced back in a direct line to 1347 Scotland. They owned large tracts of land in Caswell County, as did Lewis, Burwell, James and Zachariah Green, suggesting that the Greens may have been sons or grandsons of Lewis Burwell Green, head of a prominent Gloucester County, Virginia, family who was living in 1720.

Unfortunately, the Gloucester County records were destroyed by fire, making verification of this relationship impossible. Nor is there any recorded evidence that might establish the Greens of Gloucester County or Caswell County as kin of the Southwest Virginia family.

Lewis Green, Sr., of Washington County made his will January 9, 1784; it was probated August 18, 1785. Unfortunately, it fails to call the children and heirs by name, simply referring to them as "all my children."

The testor died in October, 1784, while removing with his daughter Sarah Payne, wife of Josiah Payne, and others, to Nashboro (Nashville) Tennessee. He left the will with Benjamin Nicholson. It bequeathed a neger (?) to his son, Zachariah Green having previously provided for his other children.

Died on Trip
En route to Nashville, at a place called Blue Springs he took sick and died about three days thereafter. This much is gleaned from the record books of Davidoon **(Davidson?) County, Tennessee, (Liber L), in a deposition of Mary Payne, mother of Sarah, dated 6 April, 1785.

Zachariah Green, the son named in the will, was a surveyor and went with Daniel Boone on one of his first expeditions as far as the Ohio River. An account which he gave of a fight of his father with a bear is found in the Draper Papers owned by the University of Wisconsin.

Jesse, George, James and Zachariah Green patented land in Washington County and Russell County between 1781 and 1785. Apparently all were sons of Lewis, Sr., but the information which the deeds supply is disappointingly meagre.

James Green, probably eldest son of Lewis Green, Sr., was born about 1741 and according to tradition made the first settlement in the present territory of Scott County, VA about 1775. He was killed by the Indian outlaw, Bob Benge on Pound Mountain in Wise County in 1779, while hunting with Charles Kilgore and John McKinney.

James Green, Great Hunter
James Green was by common tradition a great hunter and a dead rifle shot, feared by the Indians. He married Jean Porter and left a posthumous son, James Green, Jr., Jean later married Rev. Robert (Robin) Kilgore, who built the historic old Fort House in Scott County, the scene of raids by Chief Benge and his Shawnee warriors. Benge, the terror of Southwestern Virginia, in 1794 was pursued and killed by a party formed near Pineville and commanded by Capt. Vincent Hobbs, ancestor of the Hobbs family of Bell County.

Lewis Green, Jr., brother of James, married Esther Kilgore, probably daughter of Robert Kilgore, Sr. They were the parents of ten children:
1. James Green, born 15 March 1783, married Nancy Arnett:
2. Elijah Green, born 1786, married Sarah Hendrickson:
3. Elisha Green, born about 1788, married 1813 Nancy Bingham:
4. Mary Rutha Green (Ruthy) born 1790, married Richard Wilson:
5. William Green, born about 1791, married Agnes McGeorge:
6. Sarah Green, born about 1793, married a Hendrickson:
7. Elizabeth Green, born about 1795, married a Stapleton: ### NOTE: here is the rub!
8. Esther (Easter) Green, born 1801, married Elijah Bingham:
9. Lewis Green, born 1804, married Tabitha Arnett:
10. Robert Green, born 1807, married Comfort Howard.

Years Spent Quietly
The later years of the old Revolutionary soldier were spent quietly and happily on his farm between Tanbark Hill and Calloway. There children grew up and married and there he lived until his death in 1835. Some descendants still reside in the same section on part of the old property. the puncheon of the log house said to be the first built on the Cumberland River is still preserved by members of the Green family.

Lewis Green and his wife Esther have several thousand descendants in Bell and adjoining counties.

Examination of birth places suggest Lewis Green, his wife Esther, and their first 6 children moved to Kentucky from Virginia (with a stop in Tennessee) about 1794.

"The following is quoted from "History & Families-Bell County, Kentucky", Turner Publishing Co., PO Box 3101, Paducah, KY 42002-3101, copyright 1994, Bell County History Book Committee. It was published identically in the 1976 article noted in the quote:

"Lewis Green, a Revolutionary War Veteran and a native of Virginia, was the first settler to ever visit and build on the Cumberland River. He located in the vicinity of what is now called Calloway, KY and built on the land that is now known as the old Parson's farm.

Article from 'Middlesboro Daily News", July 2, 1976 pertaining to Lewis Green's declaration for Revolutionary War pension:

"DECLARATION In order to obtain the benefit of the act of Congress of the 7th of June 1832 - State of Kentucky, county of Harlan, on this 4th of November 1833,

personally appeared before the undersigned and acting Justice of the Peace for Harlan County, Lewis Green a resident of the Cumberland River; in the County of Harlan, and the State of Kentucky age 82 years the 5th of May last, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to benefit of the promissory made by the act of Congress, June 7, 1832, that I enlisted in the spring of 1776, as well as I remember, in the county of Russell and state of Virginia on the Clinch River, about nine miles from the county seat, for and during the Revolutionary War, under John Blakeman, William Moore; Lieutenant Joseph Moore; brother of William Ensign, Isaac Shelby.

I was forted at Blakeman's Fort on the Clinch River. Afterwards I was forted at Duncan's Fort also, about ten miles higher up on the Clinch River.

Our constant business was to guard the frontier from the Indians. I can give no distinct history of my service for it was one continual employment from these forts to scout the surrounding country and spy out the hiding places of the Indians, and keep them from annoying the frontier settlement. I served seven years, and was discharged when the war was over, which was in 1783.

I have no record of my age as I have lost my discharge. I need a written discharge for my services in the Revolutionary War, signed by Shelby.

I never was in a general battle, but many of the times, when in the discharge of my duties as a spy in reconnoitering the surrounding country, that my fellow soldiers, when least expecting it, fell by my side.

I do not know of any soldiers by whom I could prove my service. If Congress had passed this law a few years earlier, I cuold have found witnesses a plenty, but now, if any with whom I served are living, it is unknown to me.

After my enlistment, I served under different captains, but I remember none other than Shelby.
I was living in Russell County, Virginia when I enlisted in the Revolutionary War.

I am known to Rev. James Hall, Jacob Salor, Parker Howard, William Howard, and many others who would testify to my character and veracity and their belief of my services as a soldier of the Revolutinary War.

Sworn to and submitted the day and year aforesaid. (signed) Lewis Green

When he came to Harlan Co., KY he surveyed 1000 acres and purchased this land for about 5 cents an acre, which was the cost of the survey. He owned the first tannery in this section. He had six sons and four daughters. The family did all the work at the tannery and when a load of skins were ready, they were piled on oxen sleds and taken to the settlements to trade. This trip was slow and it took several weeks to make the round trip.

Here is some information from my files. (David Hoskins -
Lewis Green Jr. was a Revolutionary War Veteran from Virginia. He was one of the first settlers on the Cumberland River. He lived in what is now Calloway, Bell Co., Kentucky. He was buried at what used to be Old Meeting House Branch, now Calloway. During US119 construction in 1960 in the Calloway area, his grave was relocated on land which belonged to John Matt Pursiful, just outside of the private cemetary known as Newt Creek Cemetary. He had been in Kentucky with some of Daniel Boone's scouting parties, and returned there as a surveyor and acquired the property from the top of Pine Mountain to the Cumberland River. Tan Yard Hill was part of his property and got it's name from the tanning vats used in curing animal skins. He was an Indian spy and Scout.

Lewis Green II married Esther Kilgore and settled on the Cumberland River near present Calloway, Bell Co., KY. His grave is now located just outside the fence of the Creech Family Cemetery in Calloway. It was relocated in the 1960's for the construction of new Hwy. 119. Lewis II's children and grandchildren married into the Wilder Family.

The connection to the Lauderdale Family was for many years unknown until a descendant of Zachariah Green (son of Lewis I) made the family bible records of Zach's son, Col. Lewis Green public. In these records is revealed the maternal ancestry of this Green Family.

HI Tony,
I would be interested to know if you have the text of that will. It was my understanding that Lewis Green dictated an oral will to his son, Zachariah, in 1784 when he was near death on the road to Nashboro (now Nashville) Tennessee. This will was supposedly proven in Davidson Co., TN.
