The article on Green's Path in Johnson County, NC discusses the role of 
3 of my ancestors along Green's Path.
 
Francis Bettis is my 5Greatgrandfather. He was married to Mary Evans. The 
property he owned was later sold to Mary Evans father, Charles Evans.
 
Wilson's Mills was the home of John Wilson's mill. John Wilson's daughter 
Mary Wilson was married to John Bettis, Francis Bettis' son. John and Mary 
Bettis are my 4Ggreatgrandparents who later resided in Cumberland Co. NC 
and Edgefield (old 96) SC.
 
Averasboro was founded by Thomas Avera, whose son Henry married Francis Bettis's 
daughter Judith Bettis.
 
I haven't any information on the Mr. Green who traveled the path. However, I 
know that Francis Bettis's father moved to Pasquotank Co. North Carolina from 
Virginia. There are many Green's found in Virginia counties that the Bettis's 
resided in, such as Henrico, James River County, Charles River County, and the 
Williamsburg and Richmond areas. Maybe the Bettis's initial contact with 
Mr. Green occurred in Virginia.
