A few years ago, I corresponded with a Margaret Green of Waco, TX about the
Green families of Tryon/Rutherford County, NC. We had two Green lines (mine
was Greene) that were in the same place at the same time, and the two
individuals were born within a few years of each other. I had speculated
that they might be brothers, but found no proof. Margaret Green did provide
me with a family sheet for her line. I believe it ties into the above
mentioned individuals, and may link to others mentioned in your previous post
about Rutherford County.
Per her sheet, she has:

Joseph Green b. ca 1720-1730, will written 29 Sept. 1771 Tryon County, NC
+ Mary McEntire d. 16 April 1817 age 82, bur. Old Brick Yard, Bostic,
Rutherford County, NC
1) William b. 16 May 1753 d. 1832 bur. Bostic, NC mar. #1Drucilla #2 Mary
Hooper
2) Anne b. ca 1755 d. GA mar. Robert McAfee
3) Abraham b. 1760 d. 1820 bur. Buffalo Bapt Cem. York Co, SC mar. #1 Mrs.
Anne Lashley Bridges #2 Hannah
4) Isaac b. ca 1762 d. 1831 Greenville SC mar. Phoebe West
5) Mary b. ca 1765 d. Hall Co., GA mar. Benjamin Whorton
6) Jacob b. 1767 lived St. Clair Co., AL mar. Frances Acre/Eaker
7) Joseph b. ca 1769 d. Cass Co. GA mar. Bellariah Twitty


My line is:
William Greene b. ca 1725 d. ca 1770
+ Nancy Justice b. ca 1730 d. ca 1780 mar. #2 Thomas Potter of Polk County
1) Jarvis b. 1750 d. 19 Aug. 1782 Licking River, KY mar. Sarah Griggs b.
Wales
2) George b. ca 1755 d. 25 July 1834 Menard Co., IL mar. Lucy Jones 1784 NC
3) James b. ca 1760 d. May 1821 Bond County, IL mar. Sarah Hix/Hicks
4) Mary b. 1755 d. 1827 Madison County, IL mar. John Rotan/Rattan
5) Esther b. ca 1757
6) Nancy b. 6 Feb. 1768 d. 1856 Menard County, IL mar. Robert Armstrong
7) unknown dau. b. 1770 mar. Absalom Matthews Sr.

let me know if I can be of further help,
Sue Green
