Can anyone help me? I am looking for information on Nathaniel GREEN (born about 1750 ?) who married Elizabeth MCALLEN (possibly about 1778) in Franklin County PA. The children were: Catherine, Elinor, David, William, Jane, McAllen, Thomas, Nathaniel, Elizabeth, Mary, Alexander, Hugh. The family moved to Lawrence County, IN about 1820. I am trying to trace the parents of Daniel Green (born 1822) in IN. I think that he may be a grandson of Nathaniel. Any info would be much appreciated. I understand that there may be some published info. on this family. Shelley Green SDGreen715@aol.com
