The Greene pedigree is under research and construction, an d should be
considered highly speculative at this point. Th at Thomas Green was the
husband of Jeane Green has not bee n proven. Further research on the
Green / Greene family i n early Lower Norfolk County, VA, is needed.

arly settler on this creek, and a James Smith seems to b e a relative of
