Hi, Debi,  I am the 6th generation great grandson of William Green, b 1745
who settled in Barnwell County, then Winton District in the 1770's.  He  was
very influential in the the development of the county and his ten children
established many descendants.  My wife, Peggy is 6th generation great
grandaughter of William Wroten from Barnwell County.  The spelling of the
surname can be seen spelled in various ways on documents and census records.
Ex: Wroten, Wroughton, Roughton, Rhoden, Roden, Rhoaden.  I have not as yet
found Elizabeth Wroten's parents are John Green's parents.   I have the
Wroten line back to its English origin.  Gerald Fletcher Greene.

 I'm searching for information on the Green and Wroten families of Barnwell
> SC.
>
> John Green was born abt 1788 in SC.  He is found on the 1810 Barnwell
census

through

Also
> receiving passport at this time was Ziar Green and the William Wroten
family.
>  William was possibly Elizabeth's father.  I have seen research that
suggest
> William was the son of Henry but I have no documentation to back that up.

> Elizabeth had two brothers I know of named Wiley and Nehemiah.  They all
> settled in the Lawrence Co., MS. Some showing up in the Pike Co. census.
> Before 1850 several members of both families migrated to north Louisiana.
It
