Green, John                   Pen. 166                    1784-1795
Colonel-6th Virginia Regiment
Culpeper County

Col. John Green having applied for an Examination for a pension find that a ball 
passed through the Hind of the right shoulder and the spine of the scapula that 
there is great loss in the substance of the Bone, that a paralysis of the join 
is formed in such manner as to prevent his being able to put his coat on and off 
without assistance.  The Col. says the wound was received at a place called 
Marrow's Rock, the state of New (word missing) the year 1776--the use of the 
right arm is so greatly curtailed that I am of opinion that the Col. could not 
obtain a full subsistance by hard labour only and not from his sufferings he 
merits an allowance from his country.  Signed: William Foushes, November 20 1780


  I do, with the advice of council, hereby certify that John Green,Esq. of 
Culpeper , late a Col. in the 6th Virginia Regiment, appears to have been 
disabled in such a manner while in the service of The United States as to 
entitle him to the sum of one hundred pounds yearly; which allowance accordingly 
made him, to commence on the first day of January 1786.  Given under my hand as  
Governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia, at Richmond,this 29th  day of November 
1786.
                                  (Signed)   P. Henry

November 18, 1783--John Green died; eighty seven pound, ten shillings paid to 
the executor of his estate in full to Moses Green.
