Update on Jeremiah W. Green

 Long time no post. 

Disappointing that until recently there was no new information on Jeremiah W. Green. Thanks to FamilySearch's new Full Text feature, I have found several new pieces.

If you want to check them out or the links below don't work, then search on "Jeremiah Green" or "Jeremiah W. Green" in Shelby County, AL

1. Jeremiah Green was in Shelby County at least by 1835. He shows up in a Shelby County land grant document, dated July 1835

2. Jeremiah served as a constable.

3. He borrowed money from John W. Roper in 1839. John McClanahan was associated with the deal.

4. McClanahan, John W. Roper, Elijah G. Lawley, Benjamin F. Randall, Thomas Toomey, and David N. McClanahan were associates.

5. Jeremiah W. Green was occasionally referred to as "Jeremiah Pilgreen" or "Pillgreen."

6. Jeremiah was involved in Shelby County business until at least August 1842 as proved by this document in which Henry Cormac basically tells him to pay up.

7. He was alive till at least May 17, 1842, when he personally appeared in court.

I wish I wish I wish I wish he had been alive for the 1850 Census. Would have cleared up a lot. But alas! He disappears from the available Shelby County records after 1842. I haven't been able to find him anywhere after that. Still a death after 1842 would explain why there are Green children living in other households: Britta Ann with Mary Ann Green & John McKinney in Shelby. Nancy Green with Teresa Rives/Reeves in Shelby. DNA proves that these two people are related, though it's not clear how. 

Anyway, that's the latest. 

Happy hunting!
