Son of John GREEN & Mary SAMPSON.

Life History

Notes

• Information for the father of Meshack Green is confused in the sources.  The date of 1721 was for an Isaac Green in Baltimore, but this is too late to be the father of Meshack born in 1720.  That date in 1721 was originally the date for William, based on a genealogy from a cousin, Glenda Pool.  She had mainly gathered information from disparate sources.  When I analyzed the details and options, and compared with other sources, the conflicts were difficult to resolve.  The working reference was the date of birth Glenda had for Meshack, which seemed reasonable at Abt 1720.  Glenda had the 1921 date for Meshack's father, buthad his name as William.  There were also generational gaps in this and other sources.
  
  I have not yet found a William that will match.  The Isaac in severalgenealogies, with the 1721 birth date, matches in some ways, but thishas to be a different Isaac, due to the birth dates of not only Meshack but other children that seem to be form this same family.
  
  There are several Green families with children names Shadrack (Shadrick, etc.), Meshack and Abednego.  It appears that our Meshack's fatherwas Isaac, and he might still be from the Greens of Baltimore, but the details are still unclear.  His father may have been in the group that had already moved to the Carolinas.
  
  The children I include here may represent two different families.  There were several Greens with similar names in the eastern states in the 1700s.  Many Shadrack Greens with various spellings, several Isaacsand Thomases, and a few Meshacks.  I have only run across this one Abednego, said by sources to be the son of either a William, a Thomas oran Isaac Green(e).  The reconstruction of these families is all over the map in the various resources.
  
  I have found uncertainty, no detail and no commentary on the father of Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego and their supposed brother Thomas.  One somewhat credible genealogy in One World Tree (Ancestry.com) namestheir father Isaac.  In this genealogy, there is no name of William in these generations.  I note that Glenda Pool says the name might by Thomas.  A Thomas of the proper age and relationship is also not foundin the more extensive genealogies.
  
  OWT genealogies have some problems but report a long line back to England in this Green lineage.  The OWT set provides names of some other siblings besides the four reported by Glenda Pool in the initial information I received on this generation of Greens.  I am working with others on verification research to clarify this line and these 1700s generations.
  
  The dates of birth and death given by Glenda Pool for Meshack W Green, son of William Green, are very close to those provided for Isaac Green, father of Meshack, and his brothers Shadrack, Abednego and Thomasin OWT.  Since she has the will of Meshack, his death date in 1799 seems correct.  But the birth date may be that of Meshack reported in OWT as the son of Isaac.
  
  One discrepancy is that the OWT that reports so much detail and givesIsaac as the father lacks Thomas as a son.  Glenda Pool had a child named Thomas as a son of her William, father of Shadrack, Meshack and Abednigo.  But there was no information like dates or places.  This maybe the misplaced son of Shadrack (b 1800) born in 1848, as reported by OWT sources.
  
  One genealogy reports only the son Shadrick, but has some informatonion Isaac and his arents
  
  I found more specific details on an Isaac Green sho appears to match our Isaac, in a genealogy of the Wilhelm Family, but no source information is provided in this genealogy.
  
  Isaac Green, born 1 September 1721 Baltimore, Maryland; died 24 June 1800 also in Baltimore.  His wife is unnamed here, and one son is reproted as Shadrick Green, born 1747 and died in 1820.  Isaace is reported as the son of John Green and Mary Sampson.  John is reported as also born in Baltimore in 1698 and dying there  3 December 1720.  But this John Green is reported as the child of Robert Green and Susannah Vernon.
  
  There are several lines of Greens with very similar names and dates.I have found that individuals from these various lines are mixed in some genealogies.  I have had trouble sorting out the lines and am uncertain about some of the individuals in the Greens here in this era of history.
