A Brief History
Family in Noi
THIRD INSTALLMENT
Almost all the members of the family
in North Carolina have been farmers.
None have grown wealthy or famous.
but by patient industry and
wuiiuiuj tucj Jiatc mauc a W'UUUUt'Ut*
ble living. Like most of the people of
the State, they have been content tc
give their children only a common
school education, and few have entered
the learned professions. A few
school teachers have been found
among them. The most distinguished
member of the family in North Carolina
is Judge L. L Greene, of the Superior
Court. He is a great-grandson
of Richard Greene. Of the same generation
is J. II. Greene Esq., a prominent
lawyer of Bakersville. He is a
grandson of the noted John Moccasin.
There have also been several
preachers.
They have not been wanting in patriotism.
Several members of the
family fought in the battle of Guilford
Court House. There is a tradition
that there were three brothers in that
battle named Shadrach, Meshacli. and
Abednego, but these brothers have
not otherwise been located. John Moccasin
was there at the age of IS.
When the war of wpwinn began,
many were ready to volunteer, and
they fought bravely through the war.
Henry Clay Greene, killed at Santi
ago July 1, 1.898, was of the fifth generation
from Jeremiah Greene, one
of the. first settlers of Watauga. This
young man was born.on Meni. Canm
in that county, 'out his father carried
him to Texas in his childhood and afterwards
to New Mexico. Here he
joined the Rough Riders and met his
death in the ranks. His grandfather,
commonly c a lied John Flatty*'
Greene, recently died at his old home
on Meat Camp.
The first John Greene who came
over from England was a Quaker, and
some of his descendants continued in
the same faith. But most of those
who remained in Rhode island have
been Baptists, in New Jersey, Pennsylvania
ami New York they are
mainly Presbyterians and Quakers,
but some are Baptists in these states
also.
In North Carolina they are almost
all Baptists. During" the year 1785,
old Jeremiah Greene, his wife. Mary,
and several of their children joined
Jersey Church and were baptized. At
that time the old man was living on
Abbott's Creek. In 1701 he and his
wife got letters of dismission, but two
years later they brought they back
unused Was it because there was not
full fellowship between the two
chui elves. Abbott's Creek being a Separate
Baptist Church 7 Or was it simply
because they had decided to move
back to Pott s Creek and thought it
unnecessary to use their letters? In
1794, the younger Jeremiah was received
into Jersey Church by letter,
apparent ly after he had moved to Watauga.
It would be interesting to
know from what church he brought
that letter
He docs riot seem tc have been a
valuable member, for the next year
Bro. J. Greene, Sen., was appointed
to cite Bro. J. Greene, Jan., to the
next church meeting." At the next
meeting he was excluded front fellowship.
Probably he had gone away
to his mountain home, grown absorbed
in clearing the forests, and so
neglected his duties to his church.
- - -
?.?v?w "lilUT IK* ,t!Ul tllS
wife, Polly, were received by 'otter
into the fellowship of Cove Crook
Church in Watauga. A few ycai*s afterwards
they took letters from Cove
Crook, remained away a year or two.
and came back again.
Richard Greene and his wife. F.lcnr.or.
were the first of the name re-!
ceived into Jersey Church. In 17S9.1
they were dismissed by letter, and I
the next year, with six others, they j
organized Three Forks Church, not I
far away from Boone.
Joanna Eggers was probably baptized
at Jersey before she was married,
and was or.e ot the constituent
members of Cove Creek Church when
it was organized in 1799. For many
years she was a sort of deaconess of
that church without the name. When
any of the younger sisters got wrong,
as they sometimes did even in those
old it was quite common to
appoint. Sister Joanna Eggers to see
them about the matter. Her son,
Hugh, was long a prominent member
of this church, but her husband, Landrine
Eggers. did not join the church
till he was quite old.
The family has furnished several
Baptist preachers. At least five belong
to the branch of the family descended
from Jeremiah Greene Jr.
He had a son named Jacob, who was
a preacher, and for many years a
leading member of Cove Creek Baptist
Church. Tnis man has a son still
living, also named Jacob, who is a
preacher; and he a son named Wiseman.
who is a preacher. David and
Solomon, for many years active in
the ministry, are from the same
orancn or the family.
Of the descendants of Richard
Greene, there are C. L. Greene, now
a missionary to the Indian Territory,
and G. W. Greene, a missionary to
Canton, China, both of the fifth generation.
There are also several minSisters
of the name in Mitchell County,
but their names and their genealogy
have not yet been fully ascertained.
