Biography

Elizabeth (WOLVERTON) GREEN has been placed as a daughter of Charles-2 WOLVERTON on a speculative basis and in order to connect her to the WOLVERTON family.

There is much controvery over the parents of Elizabeth WOLVERTON, wife of Richard GREEN. The LDS Archive sheet for Richard GREEN gives Elizabeth's parents as Charles and Margaret WOLVERTON (i.e., Charles, b. 1698, son of Charles WOLVERTON the immigrant). It is thought that Charles-2 did not marry Margaret until about 1730 (Macdonald & McAdams, "The Woolverton Family"), which would mean that Elizabeth was either Charles-2's (or Charles-1's) illegitimate daughter, or Charles-2's daughter by an unknown first marriage. But I have other sources that say that Charles and Margaret were married in 1720 or 1723 which means that Elizabeth could be their daughter if she was born later than 1716.

The main evidence for the 1716 birthyear for Elizabeth WOLVERTON is her gravestone in the Rosemount Cemetary, Hunterdon Co., NJ. However, one correspondent, who looked at the gravestone, said that the date was very blurred and could possibly be 1726. This would make Elizabeth only 15 at the birth of her daughter Mary GREEN in 1741, but would make it more likely that she was a previously unknown daughter of Charles and Margaret WOLVERTON. The fact that a subsequent GREEN daughter was named Margaret, gives some credibility to the suggestion that Elizabeth (WOLVERTON) GREEN was a daughter of Charles-2 and Margaret WOLVERTON.

Although Elizabeth is not named in the will of her putative father, Charles WOLVERTON, which names only his widow Margaret and sons Morris and John, one of the witnesses to the will is Richard GREEN.

According to David Macdonald, there is no evidence to link the purported Elizabeth Wolverton with the family of Charles Woolverton.
