Daughter of Reuben Hamrick GREEN & Judith McSwain GREEN.

Life History

Notes

• She is referred to most in public records as Parthena.  But the nameon her death certificate is Parthenia.  In genealogies I find herlisted most often as Parthenia.  On her son Bruno's death certificateher name is spelled Parthenia.  But the certificate does not haveBruno's first name either, so these records were also pretty informal.

  Burial 01 May 1955 Boiling Springs Cemetery, Boiling Springs,Cleveland NC
  By Lutz-Austell, Shelby, Cleveland NC
  
  The informant on this death certificate was Parthenia's son, Bruno.But note that he reports her father as John R Green.  All other publicrecords and family genealogies and records I have seen report herfather as Reuben Hamrick Green.  Reuben was the first cousin ofParthenia's mother Judith (Judah or Judea) McSwain Green.  They had ason name John and one named Joseph R Green.  Judith's father was JohnElias Green.
  
  I have been unable to find any info on a John R Green that might be insome way related or even living int he area.  It seems likely thatBruno confused the names from his memory.  Note that Parthenia'sfather Reuben died in 1907, so Bruno should have been able to rememberhim personally.  He would have been about 15 when his grandfatherdied.  So I cannot account for this report that Parthenia's father wasnamed John R Green.
