The Green Family Tree

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‚ÄîI only know of them as they relate to my articles.

First Generation:
