I agree we need to figure out what is going on here with the Lewis Green profiles. I am willing to help, as I am really interested in busting my brick wall down regarding my apparent genetic Green progenitor, and obviously inaccuracies, even small ones, lead to big problems in confusion, etc. My dad is Q-FT374125 Y-DNA haplogroup, and he is closely matched with Thomas Green of Wilkes, NC who married Fanny Martin, as well as Joseph Green b. 1793 NC/SC and d. 1860 MS. These Greens seem to be genetically related to Lewis Anderson Bear Green, subject of this profile, as well as Williams Green/Eleanor Duff descendents, the "Red" Greens of Culpeper. The connection is unclear on the paper trail, but obvious in the genetic trail. The issue seems to stem back to a mix up with the other Greens, of New England, pointing to a mix up in the North Carolina Greens and the New Jersey Settlement Greens previously from New Jersey: either the NJ line is the same line as the likely "Q" Greens previously listed, or there is a mix up in the genealogical understandings. Furthermore, I also descend from a prominent Greene line of Rhode Island that and I share an ancestor with the Famous Nathanael Greene and his lineage, who were in Rhode Island obviously, and then there is yet another Green lineage in Malden, Mass., and another still in Virginia (Thomas "Seagull" Green) and there seems to be more lineages still that we could perhaps work to identify, given the common-ness of the names, regionally speaking who the various lineages were and are given the activities of their families. For example, at least one of these lineages held slaves, travelled to the Tennessee and Natchez district and was friends with Andrew Jackson (one Thomas Green requested attorney services from him lol) and fought in the War of 1812 as well as the Revolutionary War, and other lineages seem to have been in the Revolutionary War as well. There are lots of Green families that came to America, but I think we also tend to forget that Green was a common name in England, and still is today. A lot of our research seems to be American based, something I just realized when actually an English Green person kind of brought to my attention when discussing this very thing. I am going to start trying to organize some of the Data using new genetic clues.
I am particular interested in the Scots-Irish/English Greens who were the signers of the Cumberland Compact, fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain and were on the frontier in Tennessee in the mid 1700s along with Sampson Williams of Blount Fort Tennessee, today in Jackson County, Tennessee. I saw on one description of a particularly awesome Green man: 'how can this man have been in two places at once' referring to an Overmountain Man !!! These stories need to be told and understood: those Scots Irish early Tennesseans were brave enough to travel: first to the frontier and built forts, then over the mountain to stop the British from punishing them for pushing into the frontier... anyways, suffice it to say, there are some easy improvements and others are not so easy. I would recommend saving the research needed elsewhere so you can be able to prove and also easily reverse any further mistakes made, etc. for the future.
