  Buried	Tombstone Inscription "W. R. Green, c1817 October 5, 1887"
  Notes	William and Fanny are listed in the 1880 Cleveland Co. census #8 township, house #242. James B. Bridges and Martha Jane are living next door. In the 1870 census they are living in #8 township (Camp Call) house #54. In the 1860 Rutherford County census William is listed as 25 years old, the same age as Fannie, and lists his birthplace as NC. (Research):CENSUS: 1860 Rutherford Co, NC, Oak Spring PO, Sandy Run Dist, p. 8(8) 7 Jun 1860 54/53 Green, Wm R 25 M Day Laborer 00 50 NC Fannie 25 F NC John 4 M NC Mary 2 F NC (This may not be the correct William Green, but he is not in his parent's household in 1860 and he is in the neighborhood, and the age is about right.) CENSUS: 1870 Cleveland Co, NC, Twp 8, p. 8 53/54 Wm Green 38 M W Farmer NC Fannie 37 F W Keeping House NC John 13 M W Attending School NC Mary 12 F W Attending School NC James 9 M W Attending School NC William 6 M W At Home NC Sarah 4 F W At Home NC Marion Marcus 1 6/12 M W At Home NC CENSUS: 1880 Cleveland Co, NC, Twp 8, ED 72, p. 24, 25 (596b, 597a) 242/242 Wm R Green W M 54 Md Farmer NC NC NC Fannie W F 44 Wife Md Keeping House NC SC SC Mary J W F 21 Dau S NC NC NC James W M 18 Son S Works on Farm NC NC NC William W M 14 Son S Works on Farm NC NC NC Sarah P E W F 13 Dau S NC NC NC Joseph W M 6 Son S NC NC NC George E W M 4 Son S NC NC NC Augustus W M 1 Son S NC NC NC NOTE: William should be about 43-45, not 54. The Tombstone at Camp Creek Baptist Church has 1817 as the birth year. I believe that this may be a mistake. He has a brother and several nephews buried here. The year of death appears to be correct and there is no wife buried near by. There are no other William R. Green's to be found in the county. There are no other William R. Greene's known to have lived in the area. Everything else points to this being the correct William R. Greene. BUT family tradition says that William went to SC to sell goods and died on that trip and was buried in SC. Need to keep looking to be sure.
