Cousin Phil Green - Info on John R. Green

It's been a while since I posted........but this does not mean I haven't been busy researching!
I have connected with a new cousin! Phil Green, in Boaz, Alabama. He has been researching since the 1970’s, well, really since he was a young boy, but he says no one would ever tell him anything!
He has done a lot of work on the Greens, it was a joy to talk to him. Hopefully we can meet up in North West GA sometime.
He has sent me a map (snail mail) of where Lou Allen Green’s grave is located. Very exciting to be getting that information. He is connected to Leroy “Buck” Green, who was Lou Allen Green’s brother. Their father was Jeremiah Green. Somehow they are connected to Balis/Balous Green and John R. Green also. We have yet to figure that mystery out.
I have also emailed with Mitzi Soward, in Tennessee. She is connected though William Jasper Green, another one of Lou Allen Green’s brothers.
The following is from Phil Green, Boaz, Alabama.
