In 1793, Margaret Ross of Ireland was married to Daniel Green of Maryland. They had six children. Of these a daughter, Mary, married Alexander Fife of Ireland on August 2, 1832. It was their daughter Mary Elizabeth Green Fife who married Brutus White on October 30, 1866. Mr. White died in 1916, but Mrs. White lived well into the twentieth century. She died in 1947 at the age of 101. Six of ten children survived her. The correspondence involving those in these three families, Green - Fife - White, comprises much of the collection revealing a great deal of information about the life and times of these families for over a century. For more information consult the genealogical chart is included in these papers. Much is learned of the families by reading the deeds, surveys, and wills. Land exchanged hands among family members easily and often. This was indeed a very loosely 'woven but close knit family.' This is evident in the given names of the children. Each family seemed to have an Alexander, William, Mary, Daniel, or John. In reading through the papers it is necessary to go back to the genealogical chart from time-to-time to further check on who-was-who. Author: Sharon Brown McConnell
