Many of the "Green" names and dates for the descendants of Abel Green came from Barbara .........
Almost all of the information I have on the Green family I got from the book "Genealogy of the Smedley Family" by Gilbert Cope. It's a huge book with lots of Greens named. I only have a small number on my Family Tree Maker Home Page. I also made contact with another Green decendant, Cathy Cunningham, e-mail address: doctorslick@email.msn.com. She's also interested in sharing information.

From Lolly Fendall, via ____ Smedley
It is assumed that Abel Green,son of Thomas and Sarah,was the Abel Green who married Jane Regester,widow.If he were the youngest childhis age must have been at least 42 years when the marriage took place.However,there seems to have been but one Abel among the taxables at that time.By deed of Dec.28 and 29,1735 he purchased 276 3/4 acres of land in in Thornbury township,part of 500 acres formerly of William Bostock.Of this he sold 100 acres to Stephen Ogden,Jan.30,1735-6. From Thomas Williamson and wife Annhe obtained 109 acres,115 perches in Edgmont, Feb. 9, 1742, and removed to that township.In 1746 he had 180 acres. He was not in membership with Friends,though he probably attended their meetings. The will of Abel Green,of Edgmont,is dated 11 mo.(Nov) 25,1788. He devised to wife Jane Lb.100,horse,saddle and bridle, a bond for Lb.50 against Daniel Regester;also a home and maintenance:To son Abel Green Lb.5:To son Robert 150 acres in Edgmont,bought of Jacob Yarnall,and 30 acres of another tract, bought of the executors of Peter Worrall, he paying Lb.9 per annum to his mother:To son George, the homestesd and the residue of the Peter Worrall tract, he providing for his mother: To son Abel 150 acres in Thornbury during life and then to be divided amongst his children:To dau.Margaret Burn and her children Lb.50:To dau.Esther McGowan Lb.70:To dau.Jane Baker Lb.100:To dau.Sarah Green Lb.80:To gr.son Joseph Pratt Lb.30 at 21: To gr.dau.Mary James Lb.20:To Jesse Reece,son of Lydia Minshall Lb.20: Sons Robert and George,executors.³

     Jane Williamson was born on 30 June 1725.^3,1 She married Robert Regester on 9 September 1743.^4,1
Jane Williamson married Abel Green, son of Thomas Green and Sarah Searle, on 28 July 1755 at Edgemont, Delaware Co., Pennsylvania, USA.^1,5

Jane Williamson died on 1 November 1797 at Edgemont, Delaware Co., Pennsylvania, USA, at age 72.^3,1
Jane Williamson was buried on 3 November 1797 at Middletown Friends Meeting, Lima Township, Delaware Co., Pennsylvania, USA.¹
      ; Was Jane Williamson born Jane Smedley? There is
confusing / conflicting info in Albert Lamborn Green's
letter of August 5, 1939 to Miss Hanna.

"Abel being a son of Thomas and Sarah (by her second
husband Abel Green), her maiden name being Smedley and her
second husband being Abel Green, the name of her first
husband having been "Register".

David Regester purchased 200 acres of land in Edgmont from Robert
Barber, of Chester, attorney for George Deacon and Daniel Leeds, of New
Jersey, by deed of 7-16-1699.The court records show that Robert Barber,
as attorney for John Williamson, executed a deed to him about the same
time for 200 acres more in Edgmont. John Hoskins, sheriff, acknowledged
a deed to him for
210 acres, April 26,1702. This was in the eastern part of the township. John
Broomall and wife Ann,and Mary Broomall ,widow of John Broomall Sr.,
conveyed to David Regester a messuage and 100 acres in Nether
Providence ,by lease and release, June 9 and 10,1731; and David
Regester and wife Lydia conveyed the same ,March 8 and 9, 1733-4, to
William Gorsuch. George James ,of Springfield, in his will, 1720, mentions
his kinsman ,David Regester, as one of his executors. The will of David
Regester, of Edgmont, is dated Jan.13,1750 ,and proven April
24, 1751. His wife was probably then deceased.
