Notes |
- (Research):I think I may have tracked down the right Elizabeth who was Joseph Greenwood's (1755-1836) second wife . We think the marriage of a Joseph Greenwood to an Elizabeth Anderson 1814 in Wilson Co., TN. is him. I believe this was Elizabeth Anne Robertson who married Erikus Anderson of New Castle Co., DE. No date of marriage but probably in Russell Co., VA where she is shown with him on a deed in 1801. He died in 1811, supposedly in Wilson Co., TN. But to me, the piece of evidence which is pretty convincing that this is the right "set of dogs" is that Erikus and his son, Peter, are also in the 1809 Mississippi Territory census that Joseph Greenwood was in. So he may have met them in Wilson Co., or who knows, maybe even Delaware, then they all went to Alabama.
