Ummm Should I leave you two in charge of asking all the clues for this question?
If Shining Son has looked up the answer too, then that's another of the regular players in this thread down! (Unless you just don't want to answer it for some reason, SS?)
I'll add some more clues to the ones above to jolt some more players into action.
QUESTION - Most people know that Jade and Obsidian are the children of the super-hero Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and the super-villain Rose & Thorn (Rose Canton). But did you know that Rose Canton had another super-powered child? Please name this half-sibling of Jade and Obsidian.
CLUES:
* They are more closely associated with an Earth-1 team/property than with any Earth-2 ones. * This character is/was a member of a team, though not one that ever had their own title. * The character in question is fairly obscure. * This character has some sort of connection to Thanksgiving. * This character and their mother share a similarity. * While not a villain, this character was cast as an antagonist in most of their appearances. * This character was created pre-Crisis but died just a few years after it.

Yes, I looked it up, and just as well, because I never heard of this character.
Also, for years I was thinking that Phantom Lady was Jade and Obsidian's mom. Must have been just a fan theory, but haven't run across any mention of it at all, even as theory.

Even though my only exposure to this group was their final appearance in Suicide Squad, I'm really sorry this team didn't last longer.
I think their names, costumes, powers and raison d'etre were all quite interesting and memorable and could have been milked for a lot more stories than they were. Oh well.
Over to you, Q.

Bob Rozakis named it Earh-B in honor of Bob Haney, who in the Brave & the Bold would write out-of-continuity stories.

Right. I think he coined it in his "Ask the Answer Man" column. Marvel-DC x-overs were also said to be there, as I recall. Some fans thought the Super Friends comic was set there, but E Nelson Bridwell always argued they were Earth-1.
okay, then...
There is a character who appeared multiple times in the 1970s/80s DC Comics Presents series, yet was supposed to have one more appearance that never saw print.
The missing story was referred in another series, along with a footnote telling readers to watch for an upcoming DCCP story, but it wound up never seeing print.
Name the character (and bonus points for naming the circumstances of the cross-over reference).

Unlike Jon Ross, he was a 'headline' character, with his own logo alongside Supes under the DCCP banner.
