Notes:

Microfilmed records of Sandy Run Baptist Church: "Shadrach Green & his wife Martha Green joined by letter" May, 1830 church minutes Any relationship between Shadrack Sr. (b.~1747) and Shadrack Jr. (b.~1766) is at this point still circumstantial. There are no deeds which transfer land between them and refer to Shadrack Jr as "my son" or any other such smoking gun. A relationship can safely be assumed based on the fact that Shadrack Jr was living in Shadrack Sr's house prior to his marriage, he homesteaded on adjacent property to Shadrack Sr. and after Shadrack Sr's death, he had Sr's son "Shady" living with him until he got on his own two feet.

Shadrack Green's Will, dated March 17th, 1846, is recorded in the Cleveland County Will Book A, Page 55. In his will, he made bequests to his heirs as follows: "To my beloved son, Joseph Green, thirty dollars; To my grandson, William M. Wilson, thirty dollars, to make them equal with Cornelius Green, and Marvel Green and Abner Green, which has all ready had that much; also, John Green to have ten dollars; also that Enoch Green to have ten dollars; also Robert Green, son of Elijah Green, ten dollars; also my son Anselom Green ten dollars; also Shadrack Burns, son of James Burns, ten dollars; also Abner J. Dycus, son of Elijah Dycus, ten dollars; Landrum Bandy, son of William Bandy, ten dollars; also Rachel Oens, five dollars. (My Note: meant OWENS) Then if there be any more that it be equally divided between all my children. I appoint W. H. McKinney and Elijah Dycus my Executors to this my last will and testament."



Buried:
in the vicinity of the present Crawley Gin in upper Cleveland County.

Shadrack married Martha (Patsy) Jones on 20 Dec 1792. Martha (daughter of John Jones and Elizabeth Pettypool) was born on 26 May 1773 in North Carolina; died before 1846 in North Carolina. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The 250 acres that Shadrack Green Jr. (b.~1766) sold to Asa Loveless in May of 1834 were a combined plot of 50 acres deeded to Shadrack by the state in 1798 for 25 shillings and 200 he had purchased from John Jones in 1799 for 100 pounds NC state currency. There is no marriage bond issued for the Green/Jones marriage, but at the time those were not needed if both sides were confident that the marriage would in fact occur. As the Green/Jones marriage seems to have taken place in the 1799-1801 period the 1799 land sale probably stood in the place of a marriage bond.
