An American Family History

The George Green Family

Baltimore County, Maryland was founded in 1659 and included most of northeastern Maryland. The original county included parts of Cecil, Frederick, Harford, Carroll, and Baltimore Counties.

George Green was born about 1720 in Baltimore County, Maryland.

He married Sarah Musgrove and they lived in Baltimore County, Maryland.

George and Sarah's children probably included;

Thomas Green (1740, married Helen Wright),
Isaac Green (1742, married Elizabeth Ricketts),
George Green (1746, married Lettice),
Charles Green (1755, married Mary),
Elisha Green (1757, married Priscilla Chamberlain),
Clement Green (1758, married Sarah), and
Millicent Green (1761, married Edward Ricketts).

Thomas, Isaac, George, Elisha, and Clement settled on the waters of Standing Stone Creek in Pennsylvania some time between 1780 and 1785. George and Elisha brought enslaved people with them.

He bought Green Mount which was 422 acres and 62 perches in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania on December 3, 1784. It was bounded by land of Matthew Carswell, Jeremiah Ricketts, Joseph Long. He built a mill there. He brought enslaved people to Pennsylvania.

In 1784, Thomas Long applied for a warrant for 300 acres on Login's Branch joining James Dearmond and George Green.

In 1788 Clement Green was in Little's company.

On July 4, 1795 his children sold a tract of 400 acres on Warrior Ridge to Edward Ricketts. It was surveyed for George Green on December 3, 1784.

Slavery is an immoral system of forced labor where people are treated as property to be bought and sold. It was legal in the American Colonies and the United States until the Civil War.
