One or more sources had some confusing information, listing Nancy Green, who appeared to be this Nancy Green, as married to David Hamrick Green. It appears, however, that David Hamrick Green in this source is the same person that several other sources list as David Howell Green. Sources for David Howell Green, usually listed in sources only as David H Green, is reported as the son of John Elias Green and Judith Moore McSwain. The source for David Hamrick Green has him with the same parents as the other sources show for the parents of David Howell Green. I am considering that this source has misunderstood the middle name. All the listings I can find in censuses or genealogies for David H Green match the information for David Howell Green.

This matches the 1880 entry for E J McSwain. The 1900 census reports her, though, as Louisa J McSwain. Her mother is living in the household in the last two censuses, designated as mother-in-law, so we are sure EJ and Louisa are the same person. Some genealogies say her nickname was Liza Jane. This may explain where the Louisa came from. The enumerator might have heard Liza Jane as Louisa Jane. 1900 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 5 June, Sandy Run, Township 7, District 58, page 2B, Hse/Fam #20 McSwain, Geo W Head W M July 1855 44 Married 22 years NC NC NC Farmer Owns McSwain, Louisa J Wife W F Dec 1861 38 Married 22 years 3 children/3 living NC NC NC McSwain, George B Son W M Nov 1882 17 Married 0 years NC NC NC McSwain, Ella Dau-in-Law W F Jan 1885 38 Married 0 years 0 children NC NC NC McSwain, Ollie L Dau W F Aug 1898 1 NC NC NC Hamrick, Emeline Mother-in-Law W F Jan 1832 68 Widow 2 children/2 living NC NC NC The mother-in-law's full name is given here, Emeline.

I have found no documentation of Bruno's first name. Official records always refer to him only as Bruno Hamrick, except for the 1910 census where he is Ortho B. Even his WWI draft card and his death certificate have only Bruno Hamrick. Various genealogies have his first name as Orthro, Ortho, Othro or Otto. The most common is Orthro. Amelia Hamrick says the spelilng in Bruno's mother's Bible is Othro. "The spelling of Bruno´s first (Othro) is in his mother´s family Bible that Carolyn R.

The wife of Joseph Green in the 1860 census is reported as Sarah, age 24, and thus born about 1836. This Sarah appears to be Sarah Hamrick, born about 1836. I found this person in the Hamrick data pages. There were many Sarah Hamricks, but this is the only Sarah Hamrick in that source to match a birth in that year.

The children's ages are as expected. In the 1880 census, we find that Sarah Green is the head of the household. This tells us that her husband Joseph G Green died after the 1870 census. Her daughter Patience is married to George G McSwain, but though they do not have a new family number, she is listed as George's wife, rather than Sarah's daughter.
