Note: See also notes for Edward Smith, Sr. Lettice Green was daughter of Ann and William Green. She (M) 2nd Burr Harrison, born 1637, died 1706 Stafford County, VA. Burr Harrison Married 2nd: Jane Calvert From A. D. Smith Aug 2005: "Starting on the Edward Smith line, I noticed: 1. EDWARD1 SMITH1 died 1698 in Stafford Co., Va.1. He married LETTICE GREEN1 Abt. 1685 in Stafford County, Va.1, daughter of WILLIAM GREEN and ANNE SCARLETT. She was born 1637 in England1, and died 1709 in Stafford Co., Va.1. My thought is I wonder if this Green could connect to the Elizabeth Green who married William Duff, Jr.? Born in Ireland a son of Sir Wm. Duff, Sr., Wm. Jr. arrived in VA in 1712 from England. He was accompanied by Robert Green, a nephew of Duff's wife, Elizabeth Green. Robert later became executor and sole heir at law of Wm. Duff; the inventory was 2 Dec 1743; Will probated 5 Jul 1745. [Wm. Duff, Sr. had son Wm. Duff, Jr. m Elizabeth Green, who had nephew Robert)] Wm Duff, Jr. held land patents with Jost Hite and Robert Green totaling over 30,000 acres in the Scotch-Irish settlement in Augusta Co, VA; 23,321 A on the north and south branches of the Shenandoah River in the northwest of VA and 7,009 a on the north side of Linwell's Creek on the west of the Blue Ridge. Land Grant 26 March 1739. ROBERT McKAY, JOST HYTE, WILLIAM DUFF, ROBERT GREEN, 1264 acres in Orange County "... on the West Side of the blue Ridge of Mountains ... on the West Side of the naked Creek about thirty Poles above where the Irish Path crosseth the said Creek ..." There are 2 additional grants for these four people dated 26 March 1739 in Orange Co. [A. D.'s ancestor Ann Duff married Tully Choice, and they had Abigail who married Samuel Bolling]
