1882 HISTORY OF LA GRANGE COUNTY INDIANA
F.A. Battey & Co., 1882

        JAMES GREEN is a native of the city of New York, and went to
Columbiana County, Ohio, in about 1833, where he was married, May 28, 1842,
to Miss Ann Brown, a native of Loudoun County, Va. In 1848 or 1849, he came
to Clay Township, and bought 120 acres of timbered land, which he afterward
cleared. The log cabin which he occupied when he first came to the county
is still standing. In 1851, he built the first steam saw-mill in the
township. This was burned in 1866, and rebuilt that year on the same site,
a circular saw being substituted for the muley saw in the other mill.
During the first year after coming here, they suffered a great deal from
chills an fever, in getting acclimated, and experienced the other trials
during the early history of the county. Of a family of nine children, only
three are living, viz., Lucinda J., now Mrs. Cherry; Mary W., now Mrs.
Doney; and Icey V. Mr. Green owns 200 acres of land, and is a man of
sterling abilities, and a first-class farmer in all respects.
