GREEN L. KEY, a prominent farmer of Bullitt County, Kentucky, was born in that county April 
22, 1824, and is a son of George L. Key, who was born in Jefferson County in 1797.  Thomas 
Key, the grandfather of the subject of this sketch, came from Virginia, and was among the 
earliest pioneers who settled in the State.  Green L. Key's mother was Avarilla (Alexander)
Key.  Green L. Key was reared on the farm and has always been engaged in that pursuit, and 
is now one of the substantial farmers in the county. Of late years he has been devoting his 
time to the growing of fruit, etc.; and he has also fine deposits of granite on his farm.  
He was married March 17, 1844, to Miss Minerva Chappell, a most estimable and Christian
lady, having been a life-long member of the M. E. Church, as has also Mr. key.  She died in 
1887.  Mr. Key, with the exception of a few years' residence in Louisville, has always lived 
in Bullitt County; while in the city he was extensively engaged as a stock dealer.  Mr. Key 
has born in his family eight children: Cordelia Ann, Roxunna, Sarah M., Corban M., Baxter,
Marcus L., John T., Clarence E., George W. and Hallie H., deceased.  Mr. Key owns in his 
home farm 300 acres.
