Our knowledge of Isaac Green is limited. Therefore this page will have a different format from the others. The core of our knowledge comes from Rebecca Green/Sexton, Guion Miller # 43075, the daughter of James Green and Elizabeth Boyd. In her application she states that her grandparents on her fathers side were Isaac and Anna Green and her grandparents on her mothers side were John and Dice Boyd. On her father’s side she writes that the children were James Green, Hugh Green, and ‘several others’. On her mother’s side she correctly names all of John and Dice’s children. Most importantly, she also states that her parents were first cousins.

   After a considerable amount of searching, Marie Winburn of Henry County drew my attention to a delinquent tax list which listed a Hugh Green as “Gone to Mexico”. Following a hunch I discovered that he was in the Mexican American War of 1847.
