Thomas Hodge Green

Thomas Hodge Green b 22 Aug 1920 Wayside, Jones County, Georgia, d Spring

Creek, Wakulla County, Florida 20 Jan 2001, age 80 years.

Not only were Thomas' ancestors in every major U.S. war - American

Revolution, War of 1812 (Capehart), Spanish American War, WWI, but Thomas

was a hero of WWII. While a Chief Petty Officer on the battleship USS

Mississippi before and during WWII, he fought in the Atlantic and most of

the Pacific battles. He experienced every type battle anyone could

experience, including at least one hit by a kamikaze(?) plane.

The first ancestor I have been able to come up with so far is William Green,

signer of the Second Virginia Charter in 1609 and arrived in Virginia 1612,

barely escaping the 'massacre if 1823'. His gr gr gr grandfather Georg Peter

Zoellner (Zellner), as an Ansbach soldier ranked private, fought with the

British in the Am-Rev, then deserted and continued to live in the U.S.

Sincerely submitted,

Thomas' sister Betty Green Polombo
