I am also a descendent of Abel Nelson Green, John Willis Green Sr., John Willis Green Jr., Willie Edgar Green, Edwin Alcee Green and me, Thelma Dale Green. At one time my Momma paid for a genealogist to try to go back from Abel Nelson, but they couldn't find any information either; however, that was a number of years ago. (30 or 40 years ago)
