  Another reseacher and descendant of this Green lineage  reports that Ansel's full name was Ansel Landrum Bandy.  She tells a story about him during the Civil War.
  
  "Landrum Bandy is actually  Ansel Landrum Bandy son of Dicey Green and William Bandy.  Most of his legal papers say A.L. Bandy until after he joined the Union Army.  He went AWOL from his Confederate Army Company...his family disowned him.  He left a wife and child in Tennessee.  He remarried in Nashville to a Mary Ann Burgess during the War.  After the War,  they moved to Kentucky and he started using the name Lee as his middle name.  However, he is the Landrum referred to in Shadrack Green's Will."

  William is missing from the 1870 census.  His wife Dicie is the head of the home, though her occupation is listed as "Keeping House."  He appears again with her in 1880, in the household of their widowed daughter Elizabeth Potter in Chatooga County, Georgia.
