Thomas GREEN's great-grandfather was Robert Green, the first of the family who came to America. He was a son of William Green, an Englishman, an officer in the body-guard of William, Prince of Orange, and arrived here about the year 1712, and settled with his uncle, William DUFF, in King George County, VA. He was born in the year 1695. When a young man, he married Eleanor DUNN, of Scotland, and settled in Culpeper, St. Mark's Parish, near what is now Brandy, a station on the Washington City & Virginia Midland Railroad. He had seven sons: William, Robert, Duff, John, Nicholas, James and Moses. The grandfather of our subject was Col. John GREEN, of the Revolution, a native of Culpeper County, VA. He married Susanna BLACKWELL, who bore him eight children, viz.: William, John, Robert, Duff, George, Moses, Thomas and Elizabeth. Thomas GREEN, Sr., was born in Culpeper County, VA June 30, 1775. In 1815 he came to Kentucky, settled in Louisville, and engaged in merchandising for one year. In 1816 he removed to Christian County, and engaged in farming, continuing the same to the time of his death, which occurred on the 21st of October 1821. He was one of the wealthiest men of the county, at the time of his death owning about 2,000 acres of land. He served as Captain in the war of 1812. He married Lucy PEYTON, a native of Stafford County, VA--the homestead Stoney Hill. They were the parents of six children, viz.: Edward, Ann, Lucy, Mary, John and Thomas (our subject, the only surviving child). He was born in Christian County, KY on the 20th of September 1819. His early life was spent in assisting to till the home farm and receiving such an education as the common schools of the county afforded. Arriving at manhood, he commenced his career in life as a merchant in the firm of Green, Edmunds & Green of Hopkinsville. In this business he continued for about two years; then moved to his present home, where he has since been enggaged in farming, making a specialty of tobacco and wheat. His farm, called "Liberty Hall," is one of the best of the county, and contains 1,150 acres. Mr. Green took an active part in getting the railroad, a project that has done more to develop Hopkinsville and Christian County than any other one thing. He was married February 24, 1842 to Caroline Venable, daughter of Dr. George Venable. She died on the 17th of September 1857, leaving four children: Mrs. Elizabeth (Bankhead) Dade, Mrs. Lucy (Randolph) Dade, George V and John R.
