Biographical sketches of Walter Woolfolk Greene and Walter Hamilton Greene
Scope and Contents
This series collects other items related to the history of the Kendall and Greene families. Of particular interest is a collection of locks of hair, including a mixed sample from Amos Kendall and his first fiancée, Mary Lawrence. (Amos’s engagement to her was broken when he moved to Kentucky to take a teaching job; he ended up marrying Mary Woolfolk instead.) Other samples present include locks from Sarah Hamilton Garrard, Ms. Roberts’ maternal grandmother; and Mary Burton Hamilton, her great-grandmother. This collection also includes copies of family lists from the Kendall family Bible; copies of Amos Kendall’s and Mary Kendall Greene’s wills; and biographical sketches written by Ms. Roberts, covering Amos Kendall, her father, Walter Woolfolk Greene, and her brother, Walter Hamilton Greene.
