Wait a minute! Richard GREEN s/o Henry GREEN & Elizabeth
[GRIFFIN?] was b. ca 1742 and the deed is dated 1754 and you have to be 21
so which Richard GREEN is this or is the after 1742 birthdate off by 10
years? In fact I think Stephen GREENs birthdate must be off as well as the
will of Henry GREEN calls him third son meaning he was born bet. 1724-1731
and I have 1742 as the birthyear for Stephen GREEN. I think those birth
years for Stephen & Richard GREEN that are in common use are in error based
on the land deeds.
Any feedback?

Stephen b. bet 1724-1731
Richard b. after 1731 because he is called youngest son and the nex
youngest bot is Frederick b. ca 1731. Where in the world did Stephen GREEN
b. 1742 and Richard GREEN b. after 1742 birthdates come from?

Here is transcript of the will so you do not have to dig thru your paper to
locate it:

Lunenburg Co. Virginia. Deed Book 1. 477-478. Will of Henry GREEN.
--Eldest son John: 157 acres, to include the plantation whereon he now lives
--2nd son Henry, 157 acres to include plantation whereon Abigail GREEN,
relict of my borther John now lives

formerly lived
--4th son Frederick, 157 acres at lower end of the grant I now hold
--to wife Elizabeth during her widowhood the 157 acres remaining, including
the plantation where I now live, or to youngest son Richard if she dies or
marries
