This profile is not the same as Green-11259. That Joseph Greens father left a will in Berkeley County Virginia Devised 12th November 1776 and probated 21st March 1780. Further records at Page 189 & Page 216. The statement in that will, "I will and bequeath to my Grandson William Green son and heir of my son Joseph Green" implies that Green-11259 was alive on 12th November 1776 or William the grandson had yet to receive any part of his fathers estate. William son of this Joseph Green had already received his inheritance by 12th November 1776 and was fighting on the wrong side in the Revolutionary War. His siblings received their inheritance as they reach their majority. The residue of this Joseph Greens estate was distributed by James McAfee, 2nd July 1784 to all his children which was £110 current money of North Carolina.

<a href="/wiki/Green-11259" title="Green-11259">Green-11259</a> and Green-8439 are not ready to be merged because: These profiles need more research to determine whether they are the same person.

Author: Steve Lake
I can only speak to Joseph's alleged origins in Maryland, son of <a href="/wiki/Green-11257" title="Green-11257"> William Green (1695-1779)</a> and probably a son of William's first unknown wife. William's second wife, Dinah Butt (1707-1803) was born in Maryland, which anchor's Joseph to Maryland.<p>Second piece of evidence is the Will of William Green I of Berkeley County, Virginia. 12 Nov 1776: Will book 1,21 Mar 1780."...ITEM I will and bequeath to my Grandson William Green son and heir of my son <b>Joseph Green</b>, One shilling sterling..."
This has historically been the only source linking William and Joseph.</p><p>The author of <i>Frank L.M. Wolford &amp; Laura May Green, Their Ancestors &amp; Descendants</i> Compiled by Loraine Russell Kerns &amp; Alma Wolford Russell 2004, Loraine, writes:"DNA is not strong evidence. I really cannot confirm Joseph is the son of William. He could be a brother or even a nephew and it would still come up with a match. It would be great if there were more participants for this family in Y-DNA testing."I believe this needs to be put in quantitative centi-morgan type DNA verbage with analysis.

<a href="/wiki/Green-11259" title="Green-11259">Green-11259</a> and Green-8439 appear to represent the same person because: both profiles use the same Find-a-Grave profile as sources, these men have different fathers, so either one is attached to the wrong grave, or to the wrong father
Author: Steve Lake
Sandra,<p>This proposed merge has me worried. The three different ideas for origin (i.e. William Green of MD &amp; VA, Rhode Island or unknown) need to be thoroughly researched including DNA evidence. I would welcome help from the Southern Colonies Project. I don't know about the Southern Pioneers, but they have been opposed to this merge, which has been proposed before.

Hello,<p>You may be aware of WT's error report regarding a duplicate source reference (F-a-G) for this profile and <a href="/wiki/Green-11259" title="Green-11259"> Joseph Green (abt. 1726 - bef. 1776)</a>. The details may differ, but the relationships appear to confirm that these are duplicates. I am still vague how the Green's of northern Virginia Berkeley county are related to the Greens of northern South Carolina Tryon county, but it is widely accepted family history on our side.</p><p>I see this as a golden opportunity to merge and preserve two diverse family history versions. The latter profile has some disagreements between the vitals and the facts presented in the biography. The biography content comes from two Green family history books which both center on the descendants of Old William Green (~1695-~1779) through his son, Regnal Green (~1724-~1834) and minimal info on Regnal's siblings, so our version would take a back seat to yours. These profiles have probably avoided obvious duplicate identification due to widely varying date estimates.</p><p>Since the two books were written in 1978 and 2004, our version has shifted from Regnal being William &amp; Dinah's oldest son to Joseph being William's oldest known son from a marriage previous to Dinah, thus moving his birth year estimate earlier. This profile lags behind the current discussion of maturing theories. I would like to begin a discussion so we can outline a plan of action before initiating a merge. We all need to review both profiles and list similarities, differences and potential merge conflicts. Thank you for responding.

It has been thirty days since my inquiry regarding two profiles of Joseph Green referencing the same burial memorial, and I have not received any response. Today I added a research section to the profile of <a href="/wiki/Green-11259" title="Green-11259"> Joseph Green</a> and collected a handful of similar profiles on the internet for evaluation and comparison. The main point which needs to be addressed is origin; the choices are unknown, Maryland and Rhode Island. The Joseph of Tryon county, North Carolina has a wealth of sources culminating with his 1771 Will, so everything after his arrival in NC should be uncontested.

Eric,
<p>Do you think we should put the will in a green framed rolling box?
</p>
Author: Marj Adams
Eric, thank you for the POSITIVE suggestion. I intended my edit (with what I understood was Paula's ok, sent privately so not recorded here) to be info &amp; in no way meant it (as you coined it) a "barbed comment {or} continued harassment." {Is continued interest in accuracy of a profile harassment?--especially when it may have a clue to my husband's Green ancestors.}<p>As to primary sources, FAG, with no headstone photo. doesn't qualify and should be moved to "see also". Of sources listed, only Will qualifies as primary; this PPP needs primary sources for residence, land record, marriage, and age at death. I've found no reliable source of his stated birth--"evidence" would be his residence and marriage which would set it as bef 1735.

Forgive my wordiness but I too have felt harassed on this.

The edit made by you Marg should have gone in the comments, not made through change to the Biography, a Biography that someone took time to write. I will point out here a Family Genealogy Linage book is not a Primary or Secondary Source especially one that is known to contain many errors. They are little better than an Ancestry.com tree. Its up to Genealogists to confirm. I suggest you research your own Joseph which does not even have the correct details or any real Information.
Author: Marj Adams
David and Eric, see below for my contact with Paula about this. She answered "That's fine. Feel free to change it and add your source." I tried to explain in my edit of the profile that the sources that were on this profile were in conflict and did not support a birth location of Rhode Island. I am fine with it now, except for the source of FAG which states he was b 1715 in Maryland and has no photo of grave so it is itself unsourced--not a valid source and should be removed.
Author: David Wilson
Some people apparently don't understand the policy and purpose of a PPP. Not only was there no discussion; but, what has been added is of little value if any and poorly if at all sourced. Why people get into such a hurry to break rules is beyond me!
Author: Anonymous Daly
why are changes being made without prior discussion to a Project Protected Profile. This has been done more than 3 times by the same person with no sources when they have been asked to discuss before changes numerous times. Its just barbed comments and continued harassment
Author: Marj Adams
Paula, there is one more change I think you should make to Joseph-remove the birth location you now have. The source for birth you have recorded states "Kings Town, Providence (nka Kent) County, Rhode Island" but now that you have removed his father as John, in my opinion it would be best to set his birth location as unknown. The other source you list, Find-a-grave, lists his birth as Maryland although that is unsourced.
<p>Thanks.
</p>
Author: Paula J
Marj,<p>Please do not continue to alter the proile of Joseph Greene. I have asked you to wait until after Monday when I would had time to answer your questions, remember?
</p><p>This is a PPP profile and any changes should be discussed in advance with the profile managers. I have added some managers so you would have someone to discuss things with if you cannot wait until Tuesday but please make no more changes to the bio. Allow the PMs to make these changes.

Paula, what is the source for "Colonel Joseph Green Born February 18, 1726 in Potowomut, Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations , North America"? <p>Eric, we are not talking about Rhode Island in this case until 1726--had nothing to do with Virginia at that date.

Thank you! That is very helpful!

The Virginia Colony was first founded in 1607, Plymouth 1620, Rhode Island didnt exist nor recognized until 1644. So at one stage it was all Virgina.
Author: Marj Adams
"Rhode Island part of early Virginia"? <p>Please show some documentation of that. There is no such place as Potowomut, Virginia Colony. You are right--it is on Prudence Island, Rhode Island in Warwick, Kent County..
</p>
Author: Anonymous Daly
Potowomut is on Prudence Island which in turn is part of Warwick Rhode Island. Rhode Island was Part of early Virginia. There are differences with opinion re the birth year, this is because the early records use the Julian Calendar which was used by English Churches. Rhode Island at the time was an English colony and the recorders started the year on Lady Day which is 25th of March. Add one year to the birth year to give the Gregorian Calendar which is what we use in todays method of dating. Eric
