1 thought on “Alabama Revolutionary War Soldiers – G Surnames”

  1. In reviewing the above list of Revolutionary soldiers under G residing in Alabama, I see that our ancestor is not listed.
    Missing is Jacob Green., founder of Greensport, Ala and the ferryman owning the rites to ferry mail across the Coosa River.
    I know that the 1820 Census has a Goode Green listed, but that is a mistake made during the transcript of the handwritten census. the original has Jacob listed, not Goode.
    Jacob Green is buried in Hopewell Cemetery in Ashville, on 411. Please include him in the list
