butchering in London, and continued in it for about five years.
In 1835 he emigrated to American, locating in Rochester, New

he continued about six months, after which he engaged in
farming. In 1837 Mr. Green returned to England for
the purchase of some Southdown and Leicester sheep. He
remained in England about six months, when he returned to
America with the sheep he had purchased while absent. He
settled at Rochester and engaged in sheep raising. In

Barker, daughter of Lyman and Mary Barker.
Mrs. Green was born in Monroe County, New York,
May 10, 1817.
Mr. and Mrs. Green remained in Monroe county,
New York, for two years. In 1839 they came to Ohio and
located in Monroe township, Knox county, on the farm now owned
by Thomas Harris. He still continued at sheep
raising, having brought with him thirteen of his Southdown and
Leicester sheep, they being the first sheep of the kind ever
brought into Knox county. Mr. Green remained on the
Monroe township farm for about two years, when he purchased and
removed to a farm in Delaware county, Ohio. On this last
named farm he remained about six years. In 1847 Mr.
Green purchased the farm in Monroe township now owned by
him, where he and his family have resided ever since.
Their first residence was a hewed log house, twenty-four by
thirty, which stood on the north side of the road from where his
present residence stands. The old log house served them as
an abode until 1859, when he erected his present frame
residence.
Mr. Green continued in the sheep raising
business until 1867, when he sold his sheep and gave his
attention to feeding cattle. This business he has since
followed in connection with farming. He owns about two
hundred and fifty acres of land in Monroe township. He has
cultivated his land, and enriched it so highly, that he can
raise forty bushels of wheat, and seventy bushels of corn to the
acre. He has everything arranged for convenience on his
farm. He has an engine, a corn-sheller, a French burr, on
which he grinds his own feed for his cattle. He also has a
saw mill, which he runs by the same engine, and it is so
arranged that it furnishes the power for threshing his grain.
In fact it is one of the most convenient arrangements that can
be found in the county for farm use.
Mr. Green is known all over the county as being
one of the leading farmers.. He is the father of four
children, William H., Maria, Mary, and Charles,
all of whom are living and married.
