Any idea who Sallie Greenfield’s parents were? Her daughter Penny was my grandmother’s great-grandmother and I am trying to trace this line for my family. Thanks
Unfortunately, no. The Greenfields seem to just pop up out of nowhere in the early 1800s, Sallie among them. I am not descended from her or Gray, but have many cousins who are.
I sincerely hope your still interested in the Greenfield legacies
I am indeed. Hope all is well!
