Greenwood had come from Delaware after the Revolution. Intermarried with Eden, Evans, Wood, Anderson, Sherrill, Loy, Clampet. Hoping to meet others interested in these names. a fellow researcher https://www.blogger.com/profile/08553966662146348159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-995796962606376349.post-1484603372083632042018-04-25T08:15:47.537-07:002018-04-25T08:15:47.537-07:00Jena, Fort Boonesborough was built in 1775.
