Taken from the Watuaga County Heritage Book.JEREMIAH AND HANNAH (HUNT) GREEN FAMILY

Many Watuaga County natives can trace their ancestry through one line of another to Jeremiah Green of the Jersey Settlement, located in what is now Davidson County, as five of his children settled in this area (Watuaga) after the Revolutionary War.
Jeremiah was one of the younger sons of William Green of the Trenton, New Jersey area, whose story is in Volume I. About 1740, Jeremiah married Hannah, who probably was a Hunt and about ten years later joined the large migration along the 'Great Wagon Road" though Shenandoah Valley, and into North Carolina, drawn by the promise of large amounts of good land at reasonable prices. Some of the New Jersey group purchased land near Poots Creek and Swearing Creek, and early on this area was known as the Jersey Settlement. Jeremiah bought 541 acres of Poots Creek, less than a mile north of present Linwood.
These pioneers quickly set themselves building their homes and getting the land ready for crops. They also formed their "Jersey Church" and by 1755 at least, Benjamin Miller, a Baptist minister, visited and preached there.
A peaceful rural life was soon interrupted as rumors of trouble with the Cherokee Indians spread. The French, motivated by their ongoing feud with the English, finally convinced the Cherokees that the English planned to conquer them and take over the land. As time passed, the Indians were incited to more and more violence. In April of 1759 about twenty-five warriors of Seltico went out on a hunting expedition. They divided into separate parties, and a few days later the real nature of their hunt was known as they killed fifteen settlers on the Catawba and Yakin Rivers. The French continued to goad, and the violence increased, causing many of the alarmed settlers to move out of the area. At least once in 1759, Sergeant Jeremiah Green, with Captain Morgan Bryan's scouts, went out to find and punish the Indians. This "war" came to an end only when British regular troops, combined with a large South Carolina force and assorted scouts destroyed many of the Cherokee towns in 1760 and 1761.
Jeremiah Green died between July and October of 1762. This writer's research leads to the belief that the children of Jeremiah and Hannah were (not necessarily in order of birth): 1-Richard b. ca 1742, married Eleanor or Elender Sullivan. They moved to the mountains about 1790 and owned many acres near present Blowing Rock. Their children were Jeremiah, married Anne Hartley and moved ca 1810 to Hawkins County, Tenn. Richard married Francis. They moved to Tennessee before 1840. John married Elizabeth Coffey and lived in the Globe Area. Eleanor, who perhaps married a Baker and moved to Ohio. Amos b ca 1778, married Elizabeth Searcy. They lived in Rutherford County and the Cherokee County, Georgia where he died in 1857. Joseph, born ca 1782, married Elizabeth Shearer and second, Celia Elrod. He died in 1861, Benjamin, then to Joseph, married Mary Elrod. Isaac b ca 1786, married Susan Gragg. While Richard did not live long enough to apply for a Revolutionary War pension, the records of which are used by many to substantiate ancestor's participation in that war, he probably was also involved. At any rate, he was a militiaman assigned in September 1778 to guard prisoners of war at Salisbury jail.
