Jeremiah must be between 36 and 40 in 1830, assuming the Census takers were accurate. If he were 26 in 1820, he would be at least 36 in 1830. And if the male in the 1830 Census is between 30 and 40, then Jeremiah is between 36 and 40. This gives approximate birth years of 1796 to 1800, plus or minus a year or two, depending on the accuracy of the census taker. The same goes for Mrs. Green.

• In March 2019 I went to the Shelby County, AL, Courthouse, looking for Green and Pilgreen land/estate records. I found this indenture in the Shelby County Deed Book H, Pages 112 and 113. For your sake, I won't transcribe all of it, but the important parts to me were:
1. In the margin indexing "J. W. Green & J. M. McClanahan/H Page 148"
1. ...This deed of trust between Jeremiah P Green the debtor and John M. McClanahan the trustee and John W, Roper the creditor witnessed that whereas the said J. W. Green is justly indebted to the said J. W. Roper in the sum of one hundred dollars due the 1st day of January next which he is desirous to secure...the said Jeremiah PillGreen...the said Pillgreen has granted and sold to the said McClanahan...a certain bay mare and six head of cattle...this 20 September 1838...Before me Thomas Looney an acting J.P. in and for said county personally appeared before me J. W. Green, John McClanahan, & John W. Roper...
Italics are mine.
This document clearly establishes that Jeremiah W. Green and Jeremiah Pillgreen/Pilgreen are the same person, and that Jeremiah was known as a Pilgreen.

As does the son of S(amuel) McClanahan. Right next door. And the father of John Roper.
There are no good candidates for Shelby County's Jeremiah Green in the 1850. If you search on "Jer* *Green" born 1790 - 1800, you get four results. Two are female, which eliminates them. The two males are enumerated in New England states—which doesn't necessarily eliminate them, but seems unlikely given the general direction (south and west) of our Jeremiah's migration. If you search using Jer* Green" born 1790 - 1800, you get eight results. Five are female. The males are all in New England. If you search "J. Green" born 1790 - 1800, there is one male candidate in Tennessee. Not impossible, but not likely, either.
It is highly likely that Jeremiah Green died between 180 & 1850. Possibly in Shelby County, AL.
So far that is all I have found out about Jeremiah Green. In the next post, I'll examine where the evidence leads.
