GREEN REGINALD DUKE (25 Jul 1825 – 8 Feb 1897) was born in Lindale, Floyd County, Georgia the son of Charles Duke and Nancy Elliott.
Green married Nancy Emeline Sharp on 2 Sep 1847 in Floyd County, Georgia.
Green and Nancy had eight children of record before Nancy’s untimely death in 1864:
- Albert Duke (1846 – 1852)
- Joseph Cornelius Duke (1848 – 1930)
- Nancy Elizabeth Duke (1849 – 1925)
- Martin Miller Duke (1852 – 1935)
- George William Duke (1854 – 1895)
- Alfred Duke (1859 – Unknown)
- Julia Ann Duke (1860 – 1944)
- Emeline Duke (1863 – 1864)
Green served in Company C 1st Ga. Regiment Infantry of the Confederacy. He fought in the Battle of Chickamauga and suffered injuries to his hand. After recuperating back at home in Rome for this injury, he returned to battle and was wounded two additional times. His injury haunted him the remainder of his life.
In early 1864, during the height of the Civil War, Nancy died not long after giving birth to daughter Emeline. Emeline also died in that year, both deaths of unknown circumstances.

Greetings.
I am Jason Duke. Son of James David from James Albert from Henry Jackson from Joseph Cornelius from Greene and Nancy. Was wondering if both wives are buried with him as it seems a large plot. Also was wanting to connect and exchange any genealogy info. I would like to clean the headstones to make good rubbing. Contact me via email @ duke30105@hotmail.com if you’d like
