I have been unsuccessful in trying to find a connection between
Joseph Buck and George Green. That is, besides the fact that they were both framework knitters, luddites, and George was a witness to 4th great-grandpa Joe's marriage to Lydia Pilkington in 1801.

Thanks to cousin Dean for this. |
I guess they were just chums. Best buds. Co-workers. Hold the phone! I just stumbled onto something that might shed some light on old George. I found this very interesting article at
Trove about a court case, Wilson v Sturgeon, concerning some of George's property. It seems that he didn't leave a will.

You will have to click on the image to read it.
It looks like poor George was a hunchback! The article mentions some family members so now I will have to do more searching. And I was just about ready to give up!
