James Green emigrated from North Carolina in 1797, and settled first
in St. Louis County, where he remained two years.  In 1799 he removed
to St. Charles County and settled on what has since been known as
Green's Bottom, where he obtained a spanish grant for 800 arpents of
land.  Mr. Green, who was a plain, honest farmer, had a passion for
running for office, and was a candidate at nearly every election.  He
was always defeated, but did not seem to mind that, being satisfied,
apparently, with the pleasure it afforded him to be a candidate.  The
largest number of votes he ever received at an election was 70, and 
the smallest was 11.  He married in North Caroline, and raised five
children: Robert, John, James, Squire and Elizabeth.
