This same source also reports John's middle name: John Elias Green.This source has deciphered the gravesite death date as 1793 ratherthan 1798. The 8 and 3 are often difficult to distinguish on oldgravestones. The date of 1793 matches the census records for EliasGreen in the 1850 Cleveland County, North Carolina, census, where heis 57 years old.
I found Elias Green, with details matching John or John Elias Green,in the 1850 census, in a line of houses including many McSwain andGreen households in Cleveland County, North Carolina.
