Notes
- -----------------------
Gardner Green's father was John Green, born in Virginia. These Greens are related to Henry Green, who died 1845 Halifax, Virginia. I believe Henry Green to be connected to Thomas Green who was the son of a sea captain and an Indian bride. They married into the Sizemore family prior to migrating to South Carolina.
Supposedly the Sizemores and Greens were Native American. I'm not sure if they were Cherokee or Nottoway. There's a document signed 1611 by Thomas Green, Queen Betty, Nicolas Majors, Peter the Great and one other person I forget his name. The document was disputing the boundaries between North Carolina and Virginia. The settlers decided to ask the Indians to testify because they knew the land, the rivers and the region better than any white man.
They were all Native American tribes from the northern Neck of Virginia. Queen Bettie was the ruler of all five tribes. She was Pamunkey Indian from the Powhatan tribes. Queen Betty was also the mother of the infamous Pocahontas that married John Smith.
