Biography

Jeremiah Green migrated from Rowan Co., North Carolina to Hawkins Co., Tennessee.

Jeremiah Green was born on 22 June 1774 ^[1] most likely in Rowan County, North Carolina ^{[2] [1]}. He was the son of Jeremiah Greene Jr. ^[3] and Mary (Wiseman) Greene ^[2].

On 2 April 1790, presumably at the age of 16, he married Anne Hartley. They were married in Rowan County, North Carolina ^{[4] [5] [6]}

His tombstone reads: "First Greene Family in Hancock County TN", The back of his gravestone lists the names of children and their spouses. The children of Jeremiah and Anne are ^{[2] [1]}:

1. William (b1791) m. Ruth Slaton, the daughter of Captain John and Mary Slaton
2. John (b.1793) m. Orpha Slaton, another daughter of Captain John Slaton and moved to Ketucky ^[7]
3. Richard (b.1796) m. Virginia 'Jane' Trent
4. Naomi (b.1801) Zachariah Trent
5. Eli (b.1802) m. Elizabeth Slaton, another daughter of Captain John Slaton
6. Joel (b.1800) m. Nancy Slatton, the daughter of Edmund Slaton (the brother of John)
7. Benjamin (b.1805) m. Mary Slaton)
8. Ranson (b.1810) m. Lydia _____
9. Lewis
10. Alfred (b.1811)

Family stories say that there was at least one set of twins in the family and that the Greenes were all "large" (heavy-set) people ^[2]

Jeremiah died around 1820 near Duck Creek, Tennessee and is buried on his farm there ^[1].

Research Notes

The ten children of Jeremiah Greene included in this biography are fairly certain. I have dismissed the names of 13 other potential chidren found on FamilySearch.org due to lack of documented proof. on 9 Jul 2021, Travis Collins added Rebecca (Green) Valentine (b.1794) as a potential child in the gap 1793-1796,

It is possible (no proof yet) that Lewis (or Louis) Greene married Nancy Morgan and served in the Army during the war of 1812 ^[8]. This Lewis may have been born in the 1793-1796 childless gap.

There were two sources included in the original profile that Adams commented seemed to be on the wrong profile -- It is about Lambert Woodward. However, while scanning the source, I thought I saw something about Jeremiah Greene, so I have left the references here to researchh later: 1. The Burroughs Family, ^[9] and 2. this one
