     Biography of Green Berry Townsend:

"Greenberry followed the trade of carpentry around Arredonda between Gainesville and Archer, Fla. He married Annie Foxworth and to them was born a son, Sidney, who died young in a railroad car coupling accident. They also had a daughter, Missouri, who died at eight or ten years of age, leaving Greenberry without descendants. He was a four-year Civil War Veteran and is buried in the Townsend Cemetery, Hawthorne, Fla." ⁴

"Green Berry was never married so far as I know. He was a Sgt. in Co. K, 10th Regiment, S.C. Infantry, C.S.A. He died Feb. 20, 1895. and is buried in the Townsend Cemetery west of Hawthorne, with a U.D.C. tombstone on his grave. The only recollection I have of his being mentioned by someone who knew him, is an incident concerning him, which my father related. It seems that Green Berry was a small man and as the story goes, he became angry at a large negro woman and said, "If you do that again I'll slap you down." To which she replied, "Maybe-e-e you can't do it." He Just spluttered and went elsewhere.⁵
