Welcome to the Greenhow’s Family Web. Whether you were a Greenhow, are now, will be, or are just related to one, this site is for you. I have come to learn much about the sur-name Greenhow. Within this surname, which originally came from "green-hill", are many important people.
John Greenhow who in the mid 1700’s settled in Williamsburg, Virginia became famous for his general store. His ship named the Robert, frequently traveled up river selling and trading. His store is amongst the many restored businesses in colonial Williamsburg.
Another famous Greenhow was
Rose O’Neal Greenhow. She married Dr. Robert Greenhow in 1835, who was
related to John of Williamsburg, mentioned above. After becoming a
widow, she became interested in politics. When the Civil War broke out,
she began sharing Union secrets with Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard, which
he credits helping him win the battle of Bull Run. She is also credited
with assisting the Confederate Army in winning other battles.
(Picture of Rose) (Biography
of Rose) Rose went on to travel in Europe where she published 4
books about her experiences.
