    Living close by is a Nancy A Greene, who matches Henry's mother Nancy Elizabeth Reeves Green.  But the reported age makes her only 10 years older than Henry's reported age.  Age reports are wild in some of these censuses.  It appears to be Nancy A Reeves Green, but the age recorded is incorrect.  She should be about 80 years old.

    A genealogy reports that Henry was married twice, first to a woman in Pennsylvania, who died in 1836, when they were living in Ohio.  There may have been some work-related reason for Henry to move from North Carolina to Pennsylvania, then after marrying there, move on to neighboring Ohio.  But this seems a bit far-fetched.  No documentation is offered in this genealogy.

    If this scenario is correct, it would mean that he moved back to his home area, Rutherford County, North Carolina, after 1836, then married Mary, the person we know as his primary wife, and died in 1850 (also reported by genealogies, but undocumented so far).  But I have found no documentation to tie our Henry Green to this Pennsylvania and Ohio scenario.

    Henry Green
    Birth 1790 in Rutherford County, North Carolina
    Death 1850 in Columbus Grove, Putnam County, Ohio
    Marriage to Charlotte Corbin-Green Pennsylvania, Somerset County, Pennsylvania
    Birth 8 Apr 1793 in Huntingdon, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania
    Death 1836 in Hancock, Ohio
    Marriage 2 to Mary Green, Birth 1790, Death <Unknown>

    The 1850 census above seems to make it difficult to work in that earlier marriage.  Details are lacking, but it appears that Henry and Mary had at least one son.  It appears that Lucinda Green in their household is their widowed daughter-n-law, and Willis their grandson,Lucinda's son.  But if they did not marry until after Henry's first wife died in 1836, the oldest child they could have would be less than 15 years old.

    Maybe Lucinda is the wife of one of Henry's brothers?  Maybe the Ballard genealogy has the matter wrong bout the first wife in Pennsylvania?  But the likelihood that two families have been mixed here is further indicated in the genelaogy, which reports that Henry Green died in Ohio in 1850, but is in the 1850 census in Rutherford County, North Carolina, in 1850, and is married to Mary.  So these are two different Henry Greens that have been welded together.  The weld seams attempting to merge these two individuals and famllies are not holding.
