Kimberly!
You are officially my new distant relative/best friend...
My father has been researching our history for years, and has some lineages going back to the 1600's, which is why I was kind of disappointed having another look at my ahnentafel he sent me to find that every single line stemming back from his own mother finishes at the 3rd-great-grandparent point. I don't know whether or not he has already been in contact with you at some point and not let me on on it, but if not, I bet he would be super interested in what info you have!
Robert Lenton Green, born ~1784 in Sudbury and who married Mary Stammers on the 18th May 1809 (and had about 15 kids!), is my great-great-great-grandfather... but this is as far back as we have traced that line, to my knowledge. I don't think we even have any information regarding his siblings, although from him and his children downward my father seems to have quite a reasonable amount of info.
Dad has been recording some stuff on this site:

Your earliest Green marriage does wonders in explaining why the names Lenton and Ewin pop up in later generations as both middle and first names and would take what we have back a generation or two - would love any information you have regarding Ewin Green and Elizabeth Linton and their children/grandchildren?
Thanks so much,
Sophie
