Green Berry LANEY is believed to have been the son of Julius LANEY and Susana (GROVE) LANEY. He married Minerva J. MILLER on Nov 27, 1843 in Madison Co., TN. They had 11 known children. He died at the age of 61.

There is some question as to whether Green Berry LANEY had a wife before Minerva J. MILLER. James A. LANEY, his first son, was supposedly born in 1840, before his marriage with Minerva.

Green Berry LANEY originally had a large, heavy light-colored elaborately carved stone. A bush was allowed to grow behind the stone, pushing it face forward. In 1992 the stone was at about a 45 degree angle, and could not be easily righted, but it was still possible to photograph. Later cemetery surveys report that the stone has been pushed too far forward to be read.
