 The grandfather, or original fataher, of this large family was a grandson of General Green of revo- lutionary fame. He and his wife were the parents of seventeen chil- dren, fourteen of whom they were successful in rearing to manhood and womanhood. One remarkable feature is that there were seven boys and seven girls in the number left and who are still living.
 The following is list of the orig inal children, together with the number of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren:
