For any descendents of Col John Green, 1730-1793, I came across a wonderful old book (1883) called "A Brief Sketch of the Life of William Green, LL.D., Jurist and Scholar" by Phillip Slaughter. William Green (1806-1880) was the g/grandson of Col. John Green and apparently was quite a character. He was a judge of the Va.Court, a Law professor at Richmond College, and a prolific writer. He spoke only Greek, kept an office in his yard away from his house, wore a dressing gown and slippers most of the time, loved cats and frequently carried kittens around in his pockets. He ate his meals in silence while reading and would only eat when his family had left the table. He told a colleague that he would go for as long as six months without speaking to anyone but his cats.Judge Green was married to Columbia Slaughter, I presume a relative of the author, so apparently no one held his strange behavior against him!! The book also reviews many Judge Greens legal opinions, religious treatises and personal reminiscences. It's really interesting.
