was considered a “desertion” by one of the older Green descendants. Possibly some of the younger Green children did NOT want to leave their home and older siblings, or Samantha’s new husband, John Rhodes, did not want the responsibility of raising them. For more information on Samantha, her other two marriages and the children by each, see our research on “Mary Samantha Cameron of south Mississippi and Louisiana.”
This paper was initially typed in January 1974. Since then, we have collected additional information on this family that is now being included in this second rendition. You may have noticed that we have not given complete citations for every piece of information, especially census records. The reason simply being, it would have taken much longer to complete this history. There is enough information here that any “rookie” genealogist can find the specific source if they make even a half-hearted effort.
If anyone thinks this report is “perfect” they will be disappointed. This type of research is much too complex. Much of the above information was supplied by close family members and was often done from “memory.” Because of this there are possibly some mistakes, especially with those bom around 1900 and later. This is not to mention possible typing errors and mistakes we found in some of the many sources used. Can someone do better than what we have presented - of course, and we welcome anyone who is willing to help. If you find an error, it was most likely one of your own relatives who gave it to us. Rest assured, 99.9 % of the information in this paper is accurate!
In our forty years of researching this family, we have collected many documents to support the information in this paper. Whenever possible we used original sources such as bible records, census records, church records, etc. In some cases we used information found on the internet that applied to those individuals bom after 1900.
