Just completed revision of my second book, Black Minqua The Life and Times of Henry Green. The book is about my Pennsylvania ancestors who resided throughout the Delaware Valley. A new chapter titled, Along the Great Minqua Path has been added. My Davis and Green Ancestors are featured throughout the book. In 1808 George Green (a Mulatto), is living in Concord Twp., Delaware County and running a Saw Mill. Also living there was Cornelius Green, Robert Green, and Isaac Green, all Mulattoes. Cornelius Green was a Revolutionary War Soldier out of Lancaster County. In Delaware County he was a Millwright, someone who sat up the Saw Mills and other Mills in the area. This is a fascinating depiction of People of Color in the Region. There is a 20% Discount on the book for the month of December.

The area where they lived is now part of Ridley Park in Delaware County. My understanding is that parts of the Mill George Green Operated still stands.
