Notes

"The Col. moved his family to Natchez, Mississippi and became involved with the international dispute of the land claimed by Spain and the state of Georgia. In November of 1784 Col. Thomas Green presented a petition to the state of Georgia asking that the Natchez District be made the county of Bourbon. Many of his family were planned to be the officials of the new county. The scheme failed and Gov. Gayoso endeavored to arrest Col. Thomas Green. Spain ceded this territory to the US in 1795, but the Spanish Army did not leave the area for 3 years, and no one appeared to be anxious for them to leave due to the trade factor.

It was this Thomas Marston Green that persuaded the state of Georgia to pass the Bourbon Act of 1785 that created the largest county in American history. You may recall that Natchez was held by the Spanish at that time, having received it in a secret treaty in 1763 just before the French admitted losing what we call the French and Indian War.

Col. Thomas Marston Green bravely arrived in Natchez as a Commissioner of Georgia and told the Spanish, who had just announced the closing of the Mississippi River to American shiping, that they should leave the area, as it belonged to the state of Georgia. The Spanish Governor promptly threw Col. Thomas M. Green into jail, but he was later released, and did become very prominent in the Natchez area. History records that Col. Thomas Marston Green married Andrew Jackson and Rachel Donelson in the plantation home of his son in 1791. This plantation stands today as Springfield Plantation on the Natchez Trace.

The article in Volume 6, series 2 of the William & Mary Quarterly does not give the end of the story, except to say that Gen. Andrew Jackson married Rachel Donnilson in 1791 in Col. Thomas Green's home. The article says that Col. Thomas Green married the future President of the United States in his capacity as a territoral official. Col. Thomas Marston Green died in 1805 and is burried in Natchez, Mississippi." TBGreen3 EMail: [email protected]

"In about 1772, Col. Thomas Marston Green, the grandson of Thomas "The Sea Gull" Green, came to the Natchez area to visit his friend, Col. Anthony Hutchins, who had received a 250,000 acre land grant from the British, after serving in the French & Indian War. Anthony Hutchins was not at home when Col. Thomas Marston Green arrived, so for some reason, he left his 11 year old son, Abner Green with the overseer of the plantation and went to Georgia
to persuade the legislature to pass the Bourbon Act, which they did in 1785, making Bourbon County, Mississippi the largest county ever created in America. Col. Green then returned to Natchez and told the Spanish, who had taken over the area since he left, to leave. Not only did the Spanish throw Col. Green in jail, for his efforts, but he found that his son, Abner Green had
married Mary Hutchins in 1784, and they had built a brick plantation home on part of the Hutchins Plantation in 1785, and it is believed to be the oldest brick home in Mississippi. Andrew and Jean Peabody purchased Oakland Plantation in 1955 and have restored the old brick home as a Bread & Breakfast. They have also restored a large frame home next door to the old brick home, which was originally built by Abner and Mary Hutchins Green for their son, William Green, but William died before the home was completed, and his three sisters lived in the home for many years.

These were the homes where Rachel Donelson came in 1789 to escape the jealousy of her husband, Lewis Robards. Rachel was related by marriage to the Hutchins family, and Andrew Jackson was a business partner of several of the brothers of Abner Green."

Notes

The Orkneyinga saga says that Hrolf Ganger, son of the Norwegian Jarl Rognvald, was the founder of Normandy. However, a norman source (Dudo ?) says that Rollo, the founder of Normandy, was a dane. Douglas held a low view of the latter, and so tended to favor the former. Stewart Baldwin has several times posted his reasons for thinking Orkneyinga saga may be confused, and in error. (Take a look at the archives.) The question remains open.
