GREEN, LEANDER JACK - VOL. IX; Leander was b. 10/15/1836. His mother was 
Defila Green, who lived in Hamilton Co., Fla. and Echols Co., Ga., possibly 
as late as 1900 according to tax rolls found in Statenville, Ga. It is now 
believed that Lewis Green, with whom Leander and his brother William lived, 
may have been closely related. Leander d. 7/17/1916, Columbia Co., Fla, 
while living with his son, Jack, Jr. Leander is bur. Providence Baptist 
Church Cem., Union Co., Fla. His wife, Nancy (Bassett) Green, is bur. in 
Providence Cem. The dau. Alice, was Barbara Alice, b. 2/14/1860, Ellaville, 
Madison Co., Fla., d. 10/12/1946, Anthony, Marion Co., Fla., bur. Anthony 
Cem., Marion Co. Her husband's name is Isham. C. Ellis, Jr. In Leander's 
Confederate pension record, he states he has two daughters and two sons. 
The other daughter is somewhat a mystery, as the only listings found are 
two census records listing Martha Green. Martha is too old to be a daughter 
of Nancy, but may be related to Leander by blood. She has not been found 
after the 1870 census.
