Colonel John Green (4th. son of the first Robert ), was born in Culpeper county about 1730 . He m. Susanna Blackwell ; was chosen collector of St. Mark's Parish 1761 ; made churchwarden with his brother Robert in 1764 . In 1776 Richard Yancey was chosen vestryman "in place of John Green , in Continental service." Colonel Green entered the military service of Virginia as Captain 1st. Va. Bat., Sept. 4, 1775 . When his command was mustered into the Continental Line, he was re-elected Capt. Jan. 20, 1776 , at which time he was under the command of Gen. Andrew Lewis at Williamsburg . In the fall of that year he served under Washington in New York ; was engaged with his troops at Mamaroneck in the attack on Major Roberts of the British Army, Oct., 21, 1776 , when he was wounded in the shoulder.

"A detachment of our men under Col. Haylet surprised Major Rogers and his regiment at Marinack last night. * * * We have two men killed and twelve wounded, among them Major Greene , of the 1st. Va. Reg't., an officer of great merit." (Force. ) Col. Tench Tilghman , in his report of the action, says: "Gen. Washington detached Major Green , of Va. , with 150 men of the 1st. and 3rd. Va. Reg'ts., and Colonel Haslet , of Del. , with 600 men to support them. * * * We had 12 wounded, among them Major Green , in the shoulder." (Force. ) In 1777 (Carrington says) "a portion of Greene's Va. Reg't. joined the garrison at Fort Mifflin ," and took part in the gallant defence of that post. Col. Green was promoted by Congress Jan. 26, 1778 , to be colonel of the 6th. Va. Reg't., with which command he acted with conspicuous bravery at Brandywine and Monmouth . At Gilford C. H. , he covered the retreat of Gen. Greene , but to his own personal dissatisfaction. When Gen. Greene decided that his safety lay in withdrawing his troops from action, "Col. Greene of Va. , was ordered to withdraw his regiment from the line, and to take a position at some distance in the rear, for the purpose of affording a rallying point to the fugitives, and of covering the retreat of the two regiments which continued in the field." (Marshall , IV. 431.) Gen. Lee , in his memoirs, describing the battle, says: "Colonel Green , one of the bravest of brave soldiers, with his regiment of Virginians, was driven off without having tasted of battle, and ordered to a given point in the rear for the security of this movement (the retreat), which was performed deliberately under cover of Col. Green ."
Col. Green was much dissatisfied with the General's selection of his regiment for this service-though esteemed among the most honorable--so anxious was the veteran officer to be led at once into keen conflict. When it was announced upon the first of the retreat that the British were close advancing he became better humored, but soon the pursuit was discontinued, and his sourness returned. His friends would often console him by stating his selection as an evidence of the confidence reposed in him as a soldier. This would not satisfy the Colonel, who never failed to reply that he did not like such sort of distinction; and he hoped the Gen. would upon the next occasion attach to some other regiment the honor of covering his retreat. Getting to the General's ears he took the first opportunity of telling the Colonel, whom he much esteemed and respected, that he had heard he did not relish the part assigned to his regiment the other day. "No, that I did not," replied the old Colonel. "Well," rejoined Greene , "be patient. you shall have the first show the next time." This delighted him, and he always reckoned upon the promised boon with pleasure.--[The publishers are indebted to Rev. Horace Edwin Hayden 's "Virginia Genealogies" for the above information relative to Col. Green 's service in the war of the Revolution.]

Colonel Green 's sons were William , m. Lucy Clayton Williams ; John , killed at Valley Forge in a duel; Robert , m. Frances Edmunds ; Moses m. Fanny Richards ; Thomas ; m 1st. Miss Miller , 2nd. Lucy Peyton .

There has been a continuous succession of vestrymen in this family, from Robert of 1731 , who was a member of the House of Burgesses , to Major J. W. Green , late a leading member of the Culpeper bar.
