Greene died after 27 June 1842, Chambers County, Alabama, date he wrote his will. Records will follow.
The compiler wishes to note that this Greene Sorrell has been mistaken by some family researchers as the son of Nancy Newberry and Samuel Sorrells on DAR papers. Greene's son, Green J. Sorrell, the grandson of George Sorrell, has also been mistaken as the son of Samuel. It is hoped this book will help to clear this up.
Greene Sorrell was on the October 1789, Wilkes County, Georgia militia list, along with a John Sorril, and Archibald Whatley. Greene was not on the first Wilkes County tax list of 1785-90, but he was listed on the 1796 and 1797 Oglethorpe County tax lists in the same district as George Sorrell. The 1800 Greene County census is lost, as well as all other 1800 and 1810 Georgia censuses, except the 1800 Oglethorpe County census. He was not listed on the 1800 Oglethorpe County census, and may well have been in Greene County running the mill as later provided for in George's will, probated in 1803. As noted previously, Greene drew in the 1805 Lottery from Greene County, but he did not win a prize.
Greene is listed on the 1820 Gwinnett County census; 1830 Meriwether County census, both in Georgia, and the 1840 Chambers County, Alabama census. The name of his son-in-law, Joseph Foshee, appears below Greene Sorrell in the 1830 census, and Joseph is also listed in the 1840 Chambers County census, and named in Green Sorrell's probate records.
