Lewis Green of Prince George Co., Virginia

Our Green line has been associated with the early history of Prince George County ; Bailey Creek area for more than the first 100 years of its history. Our first emigrant is unknown and has not been determined due to lack of records. William Green most likely the father of Lewis Green I – this conclusion was reached after great research and finally a process of elimination. The only other William Green imported was done so after 1636/37, which is several years after the birth of Lewis Green I. As there are no importation records for a Lewis Green, one must assume that he was born here.

The first Lewis Green was found in Charles City Co., VA in 1656[i], as well as a James , Peter , and William . “We have never found when Lewis was imported, but have James, William, and Peter.” – Mrs. Ward

William Green

A William Green imported ca. 1620 is said to have lived at

Jordan

’s which was one of the few places to have escaped annihilation during the Great Massacre of 1622. Jordan ’s is now in Prince George County , which was formed in 1704 from the part of Charles City County situated on the south side of the James River . William is a Green name that was carried forward from one generation to another but as it was such a common name, no great significance can be attached[ii].

However, even though William was a common name, it was carried through the direct line of Lewis Green for several generations. This would lead us to believe that William Green was indeed the father of Lewis Green I .

There were close ties between the Greens and the early Grigg, Gowers, and Parhams; it is possible that the mother of Lewis Green I (wife of William Greene ) was from one of these families[iii].

Lewis Green I

Lewis Green I , possible son of William Green , b. ca. 1625[iv]/1630, Prince George Co, VA.

The first Lewis Green was found in Charles City Co., VA in 1656[v], as well as a James, Peter, and William. “We have never found when Lewis was imported, but have James , William , and Peter .” – Mrs. Ward

The first mention of a Lewis Greene is in the Dec 3, 1659 Court of Charles City County (from which Prince George County was formed in 1704), VA which reads: “Att a Co’rt holden Att Westo’er Dec. 3, 1659 Walter Brookes age 36 yeares or thereabouts exai’ed and sworne Saith – That Jarvis Hicks called to the Dept. and sayd there was a fellow agst whom there was a hue and cry issued, whereupon the Dept. put forth with his boat and Robert Ffarmer , the Dept. servant and pursued the fellow, who turned into a creeke whereupon the dept. called one Lewis Green, a neere neighbor to come with his cannon (canoe) to help apprehend a man who was disturbing the peace.[vi]” [Note: the present Prince George County was formed in 1702 from part of Charles City County . The area of Ward’s Creek was 1) in part of Westover Parish that was on the south side of the James, 2) briefly a part of Jordan ’s Parish, formed from the south side of Westover, 3) part of Westover again when Jordans and Westover reunited, and 4) part of Martin’s Brandon when that Parish was enlarged in 1720[vii].]

Att a Cort Holden Att Merchant’s Hope on 9 br. 10: 1660 Lewis Green for wolf 0100 lbs tobacco[viii]. Merchants Hope Church was built in 1657.

1. Lewis Green I I
2. Susannah Green , b. bef. 1645; probably m. to William Grigg , son of William & Miss (Burwell) Grigg.[ix]

Lewis Greene II (Lewis Sr./signs as Lewis L Green )

I. Lewis Greene II , son of Lewis Green I [x], b. ca. 1645[xi]-/1650, Prince George Co, VA {Charles City or Henrico Co[xii]}; d. 28 Apr[xiii] 1730[xiv], Prince George Co, VA; m 1^st to possibly a Miss Parham or Miss Grigg [xv]; m 2^nd to Susannah Grigg , daughter of William & Miss (Burwell) Grigg [xvi], b. 1668[xvii], Baly’s Creek, Westopher Parish, Charles City, VA[xviii]. Lewis Green II & his first wife had children, the total that are attributed to each wife is unknown however

Frances

is known to be the daughter of Lewis & Susannah Green .

“Lewis II must have been a very complex person. He acquired a really large amount of land and not all of it has been accounted for in the deeds found to date. Prior to 1704/05 new land was granted on the basis of 50 acres for each new person imported into the colonies/colony but after that date it was possible to buy new land at the rate of 5 shillings for each 50 acres. In the list of land patents by Nugent, Lewis II is shown acquiring land for the importation of several persons but all in probability he purchased these head rights from someone else. It is interesting – and amusing – to note that when Lewis II deeds property to his sons he reserves a life right in the property; he sells 212 acres to his son-in-law William Richardson for 5 shillings. The deeds to William and Nathaniel are dated 13 Sept 1725[xix] and to Richardson 18 Sept 1723.[xx]”

In 1704 only one Lewis Green appears in the Quit Rents of VA, with 149 acres in Prince George Co[xxi]. [Other Greens in this area were: John , 125 acres Prince George Co; Edward Green , 200 acres, Surry Co.; Thomas Green , 500 acres; Thomas Green, 50 acres; & William Green , 100 acres all of James City Co.[xxii]]

There were 2 mills owned by the Green family, the first was on Easterly Run a tributary of Bailey’s Creek; the second was located at Stoney Point in Jones Hole.

“Beginning in 1704, Lewis Sr. acquired well over 2000 acres of land in various parts of Surry and Prince George Counties , much of it new land along the Nottoway River .” [xxiii]

Some of the earliest land acquisitions made by Lewis Green (II) of Charles City County in 1702; and Lewis Green (II) of Prince George County in 1704 were:

1702 Apl: Lewis Green 203 acres known as “High Peake” on So. Side of Bayley’s Creek; also 95[xxiv] acres at Jones’s Hole. Also later in 1719, 425[xxv] and 375[xxvi] acres in Surry[xxvii]; followed in 1720 by 145[xxviii] and 200[xxix] acres also in Surry. [Note: Bayley’s/Bailies Creek forms the dividing line between Prince George County and the present city of Hopewell and is crossed by two state routes – 10 and 156. South of where Rt. 156 crosses Bailey’s Creek, the land rises sharply and a portion of that land, along Sandy Ridge Road , is still known as “ high point acres”)[xxx].

“Lewis Greene , 203 Acs., C. C. C., at the head of Wm. Ditties , which sd. W. D. bought of James Warradine called high Peake on the S. side of Baylys Cr. Run(n)ing into the woods S. by E. of mr. John Georges Land 130 po. & E. by N. along the woods 250 po. The land was due: formerly granted to James Paddon by Patent 10 Mar 1662 & deserted & to L. G. by orders of the Gen’l. Court, 22 Oct 1701 & fofr trnas. Of 4, not maned, 25 Apr 1702. Note at foot of the Patent: four rights paid for the Wm. Byrd, Esq. Auditor.”

[land at High Peake. This land was located on a ridge of land overlooking a portion of Bayley’s/Bailies creek and the present City of Hopewell . This area has continued to be known as High Peake until the present day. Lewis Sr . left this land to his daughter Mary who had married Edward Epes with the stipulation that it be passed on to her sons.[xxxi] It is interesting to note that currently (10-2001) the Federal Reformatory is located on this property.]

Land Grants Issued Between 1705 and 1723 to Lewis Green

Lewis Green was issued five (5) land grants between 1705 and 1723 in Prince George and Surry Counties , VA.

· 21 Feb 1719, Surry Co., VA [425 acres on the North side of Nottaway River; Beginning and extending on the land lately surveyed for the use of the Glebe of the parish of Southwark. Land Office Patents No. 11, 1719-1724, p. 57 (Reel 10).

· 21 Feb 1720, Surry Co., VA [200 acres on the North side of Nottaway River , Beginning on the river adjoining his other land; also the Woodyard Swamp . Land Office Patents No. 11, 1719-1724, p. 58 (Reel 10).

· 20 Feb 1723, Surry Co., VA [135 acres on the South side of Nottaway River . Beginning and extending by the side of said river a corner of Ephraim Parhams Land . Land Office Patents No. 11, 1719-1724, p. 311 (Reel 10).

On 4 March 1706, Court held at Southwarke for the County of Surry [xxxv]: Thomas Thrower appearing in Court & acknowledged a deed of a parcel of land to Lewis Green , the same are admitted to be recorded. Mary the wife of Thos. Thrower , appearing and relinquishing her right of dower of a parcel of land _____ by her said husband by order of lease and release to Green, the same is ordered to be recorded[xxxvi].

Bet. 1706-Jul 1710: Court held at Southwarke for the County of Surry : Judgment is granted to Lewis Green against the estate of David Peebles (who hath privately departed this county) for 5 lb 7 shillings. John Green , Henry Mitchell and George Pasmore , or any 2 of them, appt’ed to appraise the goods of David Peebles, retuned attached by Lewis Green, and report their proceedings to the next Court [xxxvii].

In the will of Edward Parham , “Lewis Green is to have his son Gower, to bring him up, and use his ost. Until he is 21 years old.”[xxxviii] Lewis Green Jr. is appointed one of the overseers of the will. Lewis Green Sr. signs as a witness to the will dated 12 Mar 1709, prob. 5 Jul 1709. [xxxix]

On 6 Apr 1710 there is a complaint filed by Lewis Green indicating that David Peeples owes him £5, s7 and has left the county, please attach estate.[xl]

On 12 Jun 1716 – Sarah Green is mentioned in the inventory of the estate of Samuel Tatum as being due 10 shillings: This is not an inheritance, rather an amount due for services rendered (my interpretation-AJG). The inventory of the estate of Mary Tatum , dec’d was entered in court the same day[xli].

It is interesting to note that Lewis IV & Lewis V each name a daughter Sarah as does the William Green who goes to North Carolina [xlii]. As far a is known none of his sons in the Surry/Sussex area use the names Sarah and Lewis and to me (AJG) this suggests a division within the family.

Deed to William Gower

On June 1717: Another indenture between the same parties and for the same land as above. This time William Gower apparently sells the land to Lewis Green for sixteen pounds current money[xliv].

On July 1717: Lewis Green Sr. of Bristol Parish, Pr. Geo. Co. and Ephraim Parham of Southwark Parish, Surry County, for £50, to Lewis Green Jr. of Bristol Parish, Pr. Geo. Co., one half of water mill with one half the appurtenances, the mill being on Easterly Run in Parish of Westover, Pr. Geo. Co. Witnesses: Robert Poythress , Essex Bevill , Thos. Leeth , Robert Meloney [xlv].

Water Mill on Easterly Run

On 5 Oct 1717 Received of Lewis Green 10 shillings, full value of one acre of land on northside of Easterly Run where Green’s Mill now stands, which are, according to order of Charles City Court June 3 1702 was laid out by surveyor of county, Mr. Robert Bolling Jr., and valued by Mr. Thomas and Capt. Joshua Wynne , and said Green thereof possessed towards his encouragement of building a water mill. John Thweatt , Daniel Sturdivant , James Parram (Parham ).[xlvi]

Lewis Greene and his son-in-law, Ephraim Parham (husband of Frances ) owned a mill on a tributary of Bailey’s Creek called Easterly Run. Easterly Run I later known as Manchester Creek (Prince George Co., VA). They also had interest in a mill located on Stoney Creek . 1722, finds Lewis deeding land to his children. He gives land to Lewis Green III for “love and affection”, reserving a life right to the property and stipulating that the land could not be sold until 2 or 3 years after his death. Lewis Green purchases 50 acres of land from his brother (in-law???) William Grigg .

The Prince George-Hopewell Story, p. 65, states that in 1739, it was decided to build a ‘chappel of ease’ (for Bristol Parish) at Jones Hole…to be convenient to a spring on a branch of Jones Hole Creek. It was to be situated one mile north of the presnt Reams Station and just east of the Dinwiddie County line. The site was changed three times, however, before the chapel was finally built it was sometimes called Harricane Church .

When Bristol Parish was formed in 1643, it extended from the mouth of the Appomattox River (present day Hopewell ), along both sides of the river indefinitely to the west. Other parishes, including Dale in Chesterfield County were later created out of Bristol

Martins Brandon Parish when first created in the mid 1600’s extended from upper Chappokes Creek (now the eastern boundry of Prince George County ) to Flowerdew Hundred. Jordan ’s Parish was between Martins Brandon Parish and the mouth of the Appomattox , which marked the beginning of Bristol Parish, Jordan’s was later united with Westover Parish for a short time but in 1720 it became part of Martins Brandon when that parish was enlarged.

22 Feb 1722/3: To a survey for Lewis Green Sr. on both sides of Nottoway River Road , adjoining the county line – 294 acres[xlvii].

In 1722, Lewis Green II, gives his Homeplace to his son, Lewis Jr. /III . This was land that was purchased from his “brother” William Grigg and from William Gower . It was located on the Appomattox River and on City Creek[xlviii].

Deed to Lewis Green Jr. [xlix]

To all whom these presents shall come, know ye that I Lewis Green Senior of Prince George County, for and in consideration of the naturals love and affection which I bear unto my son Lewis Green Junior , hath given and granted, and by theses presents doth give, grant and confirm unto the said Lewis Green Junior all that seat or tract of land whereon he now dwells seituated lying and being in the Parrish of Bristol and in the County of Prince George, and bounded as followeth Vizt: beginning at the corner tree of Thomas Lewis on the West side the City Creek, thence West one hundred and twenty poles, thence South one hundred and sixty poles, thence East seventy eight poles, thence north seventy nine poles, thence East sixty eight poles, thence down the said creek to the corer tree of Thomas Lewis aforesaid, containing in the whole one hundred acres of land, be there more or less, To have and to hold the said one hundred acres of land, with all the houses, oarchards, gardens, profits, priviledges and advantages thereunto belonging unto the said Lewis Green, Junior and his heirs for ever.

The above written Deed for land (Indented and Seald) with livery of seizing thereon was in open court acknowledged by Lewis Green the Subscriber thereto to be his act and Deed to his son Lewis Green , on whose motion the said Deed (and?) livery of seizing by order of the Court are truly recorded.

Deed to Lewis Green Jr. [l]

12 Mar. 1722: Lewis Green Sr. deeds to Lewis Green Jr. , three tracts of land: (1) the one on which he (Lewis Green Sr.) now dwells; (2) …as also that seat or tract of land I purchased of my brother, William Grigg s, which is bounded on the plantation I now dwell on and on Appomattox River containing fifty acres of land, and (3) …as also that …land I purchased of William Gower (bounded by Green’s Plantation and City Creek) containing seventy acres more or less. However, Lewis Green Sr. reserves the whole use of all the mentioned tracts of alnd during his natural life and the right to dispose of them by his last will and testament if he thinks fit for the space of two years to commence from the day of his death.

Lewis Greene Jr. / II is listed in Prince George Co., records ca. 1720-1738 as a member of the bar.[li] He was also apparently active in the church serving as a churchwarden at the old Blandford Church in Bristol Parish[lii].

On 20 Jun 1744 John Whittington to Richard Jones , a parcel of land lying south of the Nottoway River – 220 acres – being part of 320 acres purchased by the aforesaid John Whittington, of William Jones , of Surry, as by one certain conveyance of lease & release, bearing date 13^th & 14^th of July 1741, duly recorded in the Court of Surry, also, all that tract lying on the southside of the River Nottoway containing 95 acres, part of a tract of 135 acres, granted to Lewis Green , late of the County of Prince George, by letters patent bearing date at Williamsburg, the 20 Feb 1723[liii], & by the aforesaid Lewis Green, by his last will & testament, devised to said John Whittington. Wits: Lewis Parham , Arthur Freeman , W. Edwards , John Whittington, Elizabeth Whittington , (Green?).[liv]

“Prior to his death he provided land for all of his children (also some of his grandchildren) and several of these deeds are dated in 1722. When deeding his holdings in Prince George to Lewis Jr . in 1722, he not only retained a life interest in them but made this curious provision: . . . that he reserved the right to otherwise dispose of them by his last will and testament for a period of two years following the date of his death. One gets the impression that he was preparing to move to a new area, perhaps with one of his children or grandchildren, where communications would be slow at best.”[lv]

The location of the lands owned and occupied by Lewis Green Sr. and Jr., were partially identified in a land transaction that takes place on 3 Jun 1788. [See Burwell Green ]. The area known as Broadway/Broadway Landing was one of the earliest settlements in present Prince George County and was near City Creek. According to p. 51 of The Prince George-Hopewell Story, by Lutz, the Huguenots who settled at Manakin first landed at Broadway and were then taken to the area in present Chesterfield County that had been set-aside for them.

James Green

1.11. James Green [cclxxii], possible son (but not much proof) of Lewis Green II [cclxxiii].

“Lewis Jr. had a son James and there may have been only one by this name. On p. 1543 of the Valentine Papers, John Scott, Jr . of Pr. Geo. Co. reported a conveyance of land from James Green to his son, Lewis Jr., on 22 Mar. 1722, recorded on p. 583 of the Pr. Geo. Records. As it stands, this is incorrect. There is no Green conveyance on p. 583; on p. 588, on the same date, there is a conveyance from Lewis Green Sr. to his son, Lewis Jr. and John Scott Jr. is a witness. It may well be that a James Green had a son, Lewis Jr., to whom he deeded land; this would help to explain some of the different Lewis greens mentioned later. On the other hand, this could be nothing more than an error that creeps into the best of published works.”

Burrell/Burwell Green and James Green were both shown in the records of the Courts of Prince George as early as 1714. They were the sons of Lewis Green , though no records were left to prove the relationship. - AJG
