John's mother, Elizabeth Caroline Green, was my great-grandfather's sister. If anyone has photos of Elizabeth or any of her family, I would love to hear from you. John's siblings were Sarah Jane, Texanna, Rachael, Moorman, and Mary Maud.

Mona, do "we" have any idea where using "Moorman" as a given name starts? I have Achilles Lucian Moorman, M.D. born Mar. 8, 1843 but not where. My paternal grandfather, Morman. B. Stone was born in 1879. I somehow believe my grandfather was named after this doctor who married a descendant of Dilmus Johnson Stone and Permelia Bethany. I read where you identified Granddaddy's middle name as Bonaparte. I do know that my "baby" brother was named for our Granddaddy; however, his birth certificate lists Moorman B. Stone (1934). I have never found how or what the initial stood for. bettye
Good question, Bettye. There are certainly a lot of men in the area named Moorman, Morman, Moman. Achilles is another name found here and there. My GG Uncle was Eddie A. Harbor, with the "A" standing for Aquilla which I wonder was a derivative of Archilles? His son was named Aquilla but was called "A".
John Denton Green is my maternal grandfather and I am interested in any information about him or my grandmother Verna Cowden Green.
