Notes

John Green and Judith Moore McSwain gave four of their children the middle name of McSwain:
George McSwain Green
Hannah McSwain Green
James McSwain Green
Judith McSwain Green

Four additional children are reported by a McSwain-Green-Moore genealogy on RootsWeb:
Eunice Green b 1819 Rutherford County, North Carolina
John Green b 1832
Joseph G Green b 30 Dec 1833 Rutherford County, North Carolina
Thomas Green b 1836 Rutherford County, North Carolina
-- McSwain-Green-Moore, http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=:2944410&id=I374

This same source also reports John's middle name: John Elias Green. This source has deciphered the gravesite death date as 1793 rather than 1798. The 8 and 3 are often difficult to distinguish on old gravestones. The date of 1793 matches the census records for Elias Green in the 1850 Cleveland County, North Carolina, census, where he is 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 and Green households in Cleveland County, North Carolina.

1850 Federal Census, Cleveland County, North Carolina, 27 August, page 296-297 (scan 148-149), Hse/Fam #473
Elias Green 57 M Farmer $1000 Real Estate born North Carolina [b abt 1793]
-- page 297 --
Judea [Judith/Judy] Green 52 F born North Carolina [b abt 1798]
James M Green 23 M Farmer [No Real Estate value] born North Carolina [b abt 1827]
John Green 17 M Farmer born North Carolina [b abt 1833]
Joseph Green 18 M Farmer born North Carolina [b abt 1832]
Thomas Green 14 M born North Carolina [b abt 1836]
Nicy Green 12 F born North Carolina [b abt 1838]

Nicy here matches Eunice Green in the genealogy. Nicy/Nicey is a common nickname in this period for the name Eunice. It also appears as Eunicey or Unicey.
