QUERIES.
Greene or Green.

It is said that General Nathaniel
Greene, Washington''s "favorlte general"
and one 81 the bravest and noblest men
who have adorned American history, was
descended from the English family, De
Greene or Green. In Irving's Life of
Washington, we read that this Revou-
tionary hero, General Greene, was
blacksmths son, and in some short
sketches of him, he Is mentioned MS be-
ing of humble origin. But In the account
given In The Times-Dispatch, 1t is said
that tho armorial bearings Of the Greens
are carved upon their tombstoncs. II this
means that the old pre-Revolutionary
ton,bstones Of tho Greens buried In New
England bear these arms carved upon
them, surely the right of the New Eng
land Greens to coat arlnor is establish
ed. Not that General Greene needed
arn1orial bearings at all. flo was the
equal of any man, and If he Is not au-
chemically proven to belong to the
armor bearing English family, De Greene,
tho DE Grcenes are the losers. OF course,
all families named Green cannot be de-
seconded from the DO Greenes. as that
would involve the statement that people
who lived on or near futile, green places
(and took their surnames thercfrom) were
all blood relations of each other. Only
old records. or pre- Revolutonnry, public,
habitua use of coat armor, can really
prove descent from families entitled to a
coat of arms. But there were, and are,
both in England and America, many FAM

Bumpass.
IN answer to a query for data on the
Bumpass family Of Louisa county, the
following is gathered from the lapse Of
time:
Many years before the short stretch
OF sixty miles of the first Virginia Cen
trail Railroad was built from Hanover
Junction to Gordonsville, there lived
where now stands "Bumpass Station"
a thrifty sturdy, old Engllshman. named
j. r. Bumpass who occupied the farm,
as settled by his Iorefatlers several
generations before. It is not known
whether they descended from English
nobility, or had brought over with them
long pedigree from the Heralds Col
lege, with a dazzling coat of arms. 1t
it presumed not. for they were simple,
plain, honest folks, only intent on rails
ing corn, wheat and tobacco.
a When the surveyors were running the
line for the railroad through Louisa
county. and had reached the farm OF Mr.
Bunpass. the old gentleman vowed that
the road should not go through his
land. for said he 'the cars will run
over and kill all my stock; the
smoke Of the engine will ruin all my
&crops: the noise Of the whistle will run

he would give the right OF way, they
