[The Green genealogy has been revised and added to by the
publisher of this book, from reliable data in his possession,
the work being done in December, 1899 .]
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.
