Notes
- Some genealogies appear to have confused two individuals named William Henry Green. I am not sure if I have the parentage of John Landrum Green correct. One genealogy with good personal information on the family of John Landrum Green, reports his father as William Henry Green, whose parents was John Elias Green and Judith McSwain.
That genealogy reports that William Henry's wife was named Didema (Dema). But the dates and information for this William Henry Green do not match those reported in other sources for the son of John and Judith.
Furthermore, the wife is different, with other genealogies reporting Matilda Caroline Bridges, and the birth dates of the children overlapping. Information on Dema Hardin and Matilda Caroline Bridges report that both these women lived into the 20th century.
It appears the three children of Dema reported in the one genealogy as mother of John Landrum Green and two others has the wrong father of her husband William Henry Green, or the wrong husband for Dema.

William H Green 28 M b North Carolina

John Green 6 M b North Carolina
Sarah Green 3 F b North Carolina
Marth [sic] Green 1 F b North Carolina
If the birthday reported in several genealogies is correct, 31 May 1823, then WIlliam was only 27 at the time of the 1850 census, instead of the reported 28.
1860 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 21 July, page 159 (scan 396), Hse/Fam #1143
Wm H Greene 37 M Farmer born N Carolina [b abt 1823]
Didema Greene 37 F born N Carolina [b abt 1823] Cannot read or write
John L Greene 15 M born N Carolina [b abt 1845]
Sarah E Greene 14 F born N Carolina [b abt 1846]
Mary H Greene 12 F born N Carolina [b abt 1848]
Wm A Greene 8 M born N Carolina [b abt 1852]
Marshal C Greene 3 M born N Carolina [b abt 1857]
The child named here as Mary H matches fairly closely the child named Martha in the 1850 census. I would suspect the child was named Mary Martha, which was a common enough double name, except for the initial H in 1960.
