GREEN, LEANDER JACK 	1836-???? 	HAMILTON-MARION (FL)

Leander Jack Green was born October 15, 1836 in Bulloch County, Georgia. 
His parents are unknown as is it believed that Leander was adopted. His   
adoptive parents were Lewis Green and his wife, Martha Taylor, who were 
married in Ware County, Georgia about 1835. This date is from an 
application for pension filed by Martha Green for services Lewis gave in 
the Indian wars. It is suspect as other references list her as being born 
about 1824. She would have been only I I years old. Her year of birth is 
consistently as 1824 listed in subsequent census records. Included in that 
pension record is a statement from William Green, known by family tradition 
as a brother to Leander, that he came to live with the Green family in 
1845.
On March 13, 1857, Leander married Nancy M. Bassett, born in 1840 in 
Hamilton County, Florida. She was the daughter of William Bassett and 
Aurora Towler Bassett who were from South and North Carolina respectively. 
Leander and Nancy were the parents of three children all born in Hamilton 
County, Florida:

1. William Richard	b. 3/8/1858, m. Sarah Alice Casey,
	d. 7/26/1934.	1/12/1885 in Ocala, Fl., b. 1/??/1856, d. 6/19/1921.
2. Alice	b. 9/??/ 1861, m. 1. C. (or J. C.) Ellis, 4/24/1882 in Ocala, Fl.
3. Leander Jack, Jr.	b. 2/28/1862, m. Mrs. Mary Louzanna Adams,
	d. 1950. 	12/21/1890 in Lake City, Fl.

Leander served in the CSA and was wounded in the left arm in December of 
1862 during the Battle of Fredericksburg, Virginia.
Nancy's parents lived many years in Hamilton County and later moved to 
Marion County, Florida where Leander and Nancy followed and raised their 
three children. Nancy died July 17, 1906 in either Marion or Columbia 
County,
Florida. It is not known when Leander died. Contributed by: S. Martin
