JOHN GREEN W. 11590 BA-J/MLB
Dear Madam:
Reference is made to your letter in which you request the Revolutionary War record of John Green, who was pensioned from Butler County, Pennsylvania, and of John Hogeland, who served as captain in the Revolution, was killed in service and whose widow, Jane Hogeland, made application for pension from Washington County, Pennsylvania.
The Revolutionary War records of this office have been searched and no claim for pension or bounty land was found which was made to the United States based upon service in the Revolution of the John Hogeland described by you. Such claims are the source of Revolutionary War data furnished by this office. The application for pension of his widow, Jane Hogeland, may have been made to the state from which the soldier served.
The record was found of a John Green, of Butler County, Pennsylvania, and is given herein as obtained from the papers on file in pension claim, W. 11590, based upon his service in the Revolutionary War.
The date and place of soldier's birth and names of his parents are not stated.
John Green enlisted in December, 1776, in Marsh Creek, York County, Pennsylvania, served as private in Captains Hopes' and Walker's company, Colonel Hartley's Pennsylvania regiment, was in the battles of Trenton, Brandywine, Paoli, Germantown and Wilmington and in two engagements with the Indians up the Susquehanna River, and was discharged in 1781.

He was allowed pension on his application executed November 13, 1818, at which time he was aged sixty-four years and a resident of Clearfield Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and was still living there in 1820. He was pensioned also by the State of Pennsylvania.
John Green married July 20, 1808, in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, Elizabeth Lowe, whose age in 1820 was given as forty years. She was sometimes called Lettitia and Letty.
He died December 16, 1823, in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and was buried on the "Wonderly Place", there.
John Green's widow, Elizabeth, married February 22, 1827, in Butler County, Pennsylvania, Thomas Taylor who died August 18, 1859, and was buried in the "Peter Henry's graveyard" in Summit Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania. At the time of their marriage, they were both residents of said Butler County.
Elizabeth Taylor, while residing with a Mrs. Henry in Butler County, Pennsylvania, applied for pension that might be due her as the former widow of John Green. Her application was executed August 23, 1859, in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and her claim was allowed. One Elen Henry made an affidavit in behalf of Elizabeth Taylor in her application for pension, but did not state any relationship, or show whether she was the Mrs. Henry with whom the widow lived.
John Green and his wife, Elizabeth, had four children whose names were Mary Ann, Nancy whose age in 1820 was given as five years, Elizabeth Green, and Hannah Green, all of whom died prior to August, 1859.
In 1859, one Samuel Lowe made affidavit in Butler County, Pennsylvania, that John Green and Elizabeth Lowe were married at the home of his (Samuel Lowe's) father, in Butler County, Pennsylvania, but did not state his relationship to soldier's wife.

Sir Sir
I send You the application of Polly Green the widow of John Green deceased who was a Revolutionary Soldier and Pensioner up to the time of his death, for the arrearages of the Pension coming to her Husband at the time of his death. I met with the Pension Agent in Pittsburgh in giving me instructions how to proceed - mentioned that I would require some sanction after such a lapse of time, before the arrearages could be paid. In consequence of these instructions I have forwarded the papers to You in the first place, You will perceive from the Certificate of John Green that he drew his pension from the Philadelphia agency, It would be inconvenient to have these small arrearages to be drawn, and would consume them in doing it. Will You have the kindness to direct the Agent at Pittsburgh to discharge these arrearages. The cause of the widow not claiming them before this time, was her ignorance of her rights, and it was only discovered when she was about to become a charge upon the Township in which she lives.
Yours With Great Respect W. H. Alford Gilmore

Dear Sir,
The pension Certificate of Elizabeth Taylor widow of (her first husband) John Green Rev Soldier, - I rec d a letter from the Depart-ment that as soon as her pension was adjusted her application for Bounty land Warrant would be favorably rec d .
Will you see that the warrant is issued as it now needed, no money can be drawn on her pension Certificate until March, and she is exceedingly poor.
Yours Respectfully Samuel M. Bridman

Dear Geo. Whiting,
Brother,
I write you just
have an application made of the claim of Elizabeth Taylor by right of her first husband John Green for (Revolutionary soldier and pensioner of U. States) for pension - She is very old poor and in destitute circumstances - She is now living upon the liberality of a widow lady Mr. Henry and they are talking of putting Mrs. Taylor under on the land of John Green a poor soldier. An application has already been made to the clerks of Summit

but nothing has been done but unless she gets something to maintain her, the order will be made and she must go on the lowest  lowest  list  list which will be repulsive to her —
Will you considering her peculiar position have her matter acted on immediately *
Yours Respectfully Alma M. Bradin
