plus Kemp, Bull and Wright

Samuel Green, an English immigrant and a surveyor in Gloucester county, was married three times. His first wife, Margaret Kemp died before Green moved to Amwell Township in Hunterdon County. His second wife Sarah Bull was a member of the Bull family of Gloucester County. She died before Green moved to Sussex (Warren) County. His third wife, Hannah Wright, was the daughter of a Dutch couple who moved to Amwell Township from Bergen County.

I have very little information on families that did not establish themselves in Hunterdon County. And please keep in mind, those of you who have worked hard on this family, I have not—I only know of them as they relate to my articles.

First Generation:

(1) Samuel Green (c.1675 – 1760)
m. 1) Margaret Kemp (c.1675 – c.1706), daughter of Edward Kemp, proprietor and surveyor
m. 2) Sarah Bull (c.1680 – c.1726), daughter of Thomas and Sarah Bull
m. 3) Hannah Annatie Wright (1716 – 1808), daughter of John (Jan) Wright (Reyt) and Orcha Bras

Second Generation:

(1) Samuel Green and 1) Margaret Kemp
|     (2.1) Johann Samuel Green (1695 – 1775) & Anna Abigail Light (1710 – 1791)
Johann Samuel Green, Jr. did not stay long in Amwell Township. He moved with his father to Sussex County in 1738, taking his daughter with him. The other children were born in Sussex, so their children will not be included in this tree.

(1) Samuel Green & 2) Sarah Bull
|    (2.2) Sarah Green (c.1708 – after 1760) & Benjamin Severns (c.1710 – 1792)
|    (2.3) Margaret Green (1711 – 1775) & John Opdycke Esq. (1710 – 1777)

|    (2.5) Ann Green (c.1715 – after 1789) & Joshua Opdycke (1713 – 1789)
All of these children remained in Hunterdon County.

|     (2.11) George Green (c.1750 – 1777)
|     (2.12) Rebecca Green (c.1751 – ) & Francis Glover (c.1728 – 1796)
I have very little information on this family because they moved to Sussex County right after Hannah and Samuel married.
