  GREEN(E) Marriages In Western NC Counties
  GREEN, Elias m. HAMRICK, Rebecca - 22 Dec 1827
  Bondsman Richard Champion
  s/o Henry & Nancy Reeves GREEN
  --  http://www.redbirdacres.net/greenmarriagesNC.html
  
  I found two sources that had the same children of Henry and Nancy, but each had some the other did not have.  I have some questions about the children listed in this family, and suspect that some belong to other families.

  John Greene provides this tidbit:
  "According to an article written for the Boiling Springs Historical Awareness Committee by Virginia Green DePriest, Henry Green built the oldest home now standing in Boiling Springs, NC in about 1797.  The log home is currently owned by Forrest Hamrick and is on the east side of North Main Street."

  [This would be a different Henry Green, sicne this perons, the son of William Marion Green, was born in only 1775.  We are not satisfied who this King's Mountain hero named Henry Green was.]
  
  Various sources attest to the participation of William in the Revolutionary War as a Tory.  Though a citizen of the State of North Carolina, he accepted a British commission.  When he was captured at the famous Battle of Kings Mountain, along with the British contingent, he was held and convicted to be shot as a traitor, since it was claimed he had sworn allegiance to the United States and the State of North Carolina.  He and his comrade escaped from captivity.
