Six years prior to the American Constitution and three months prior to the creation of the Declaration of Independence the "Halifax Resolves" were written making it the first document in the American colonies promoting a full and complete separation from Great Britain.

The 4th North Carolina Provincial Congress met in Halifax on April 4, 1776 where a selected committee consisting of Cornelius Harnett of Wilmington, Thomas Burke of Orange County, Allen Jones of Northampton County, Thomas Jones of Chowan County, Abner Nash of New Bern, John Kinchen of Orange County, Samuel Johnston of Edenton and James Green, Jr., of New Bern compiled a Colonist grievance report which they completed on April 12, 1776. This document refered to as the "Halifax Resolves" was unanimously adopted by all 83 delegates present, and signed by the secretary of the committee James Green, Jr., making it the first official colony action calling for independence from Great Britian.

The Halifax Resolution was presented to the Colonies through their respective delegates assembled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the Continental Congress followed by similar recommendation from Virginia. The Continental Congress met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on July 4, 1776, at which time the Declaration of Independence was adopted that included the signatures of the North Carolina Delegates William Hooper, Joseph Hewes, and John Penn.

The adoption date of the "Halifax Resolves" is memorialized on the state flag of North Carolina. The original "Halifax Resolves" is protected by the National Archives in Washington, DC and a copy is on display in the State Archives located in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Less than 20 years for having children with Hannah. His son James did marry Mary Edmondson. How many James Greens married Mary's in this time period?

END Note from Debra: The death dates do not match this James Green or Mary Edmonson.  James Green left his wife Mary land and other thing in the will so she must have still been alive and not Mary Edmonson?

Court Minutes, Third Tuesday in April, 1716, records the above transaction and the deed of gift from Capt. Richard Graves and Hannah his wife of 290 acres to James Green.
