Here are the references for "Greens" in the Scott book: Bear in mind that his writing in 1884 was somewhat confusing as he skips from the past to the present in the same sentence (and he dearly loved commas!!): Camden 1811-1817: The War of 1812 "Camden contributed two companies to this regiment - The Rifles, Capt. Chapman Levy, and The Artillery, Capt. James Blair - not the giant General and member of Congress, of the same name, who shot Tom Evans in a duel, neary killed Duff Green with a cudgel and finally blew out his own brains at Washington." Columbia 1817-1822: when Scott, who was in his teen, ran away while he was apprenticed at Barrett's store " And needing to ascertain whether Barrett had the power or disposition to arrest and punish me as a runaway apprentice, which was what I dreaded, I got out of the stage in the suburbs and went to the Law office of Col. James Gregg, about where Cap Carroll's barber shop is, to consult him as to my rights but he was engaged and never could bear interruptions, so he gave me no satisfaction, and, without more ado, I walked down to the stage office, at Dr. Sam Green's Hotel, opposite the Stage House and took a passage for Augusta." Columbia 1860's: " At the corner across Lady Street was then, or soon after, a drug store owned by Dr. Sam Green and kept by Dr. F. W. Green, recently deceased and still later by Dr. Samuel Percival. Dr. F.W. Green's wife was a daughter of William Briggs, the builder of the Columbia Bridge, and her sister was first married to Hugh McLean and afterwards to Henry Davis. Dr Green built the Red Bank Cotton Factory in Lexington, which is in successful operation and gives employment to 40 or 50 hands. He left a large family, his sons all seeming to have inherited a turn for mechanical business." " Across Gervais Street at the corner of the State House lot,dwelt Gresham Chapman, successor of Dr. Sam Green as Postmaster, in a dwelling afterward kept as a boarding house by Maj. Benjamin Hart." " Next North of Russell's garden was the tavern of Dr. Sam Green, Postmaster, and, for several terms, Intendant of the town, who had the habit of exclaiming "Ah!" whenever addressed. He presided at a public meeting on the death of ex President Monroe, and when Col. Gregg,rising to present the resolutions,said, in his blunt way,"Mr. Chairman, Mr. Monroe's dead," the Dr. responded with a prolonged "AH!" that excited the merriment of the crowd and added nothing to the gravity of the occasion." "Mrs. Herring lived on the Northeast corner of Taylor and Assembly Streets, where Henry McGowan now resides. She had one son and two beautiful daughters,the elder of whom, Eliza, married Dr.---- Green." Lexington 1830's: This deals with a Rev Yost Meetze, a German born resident, who apparently interfered with the military in some way: "If he joined General Green's forces at Bacon's Bridge, near Charleston, as some say he claimed to have done, it must have been because he regarded ours as a just cause and intended to cast his lot with us." Chapter on the War with Mexico: the college riot: "In 1856, and outrageous riot of the students in the college threatened the peace and safety of the place for a short time. The mayor, Edward J. Arthur, seeing the hostile demonstration, ordered the alarm bell to be rung, and when the citizens assembled, Jesse E. Dent, the Sheriff summoned them to protect the people and keep the peace. I saw 30 or 40 of them ranged, under arms, in front of the guard house, with Sheriff Dent, who was unarmed, at their head while a mass of students, withing 15 or 20 feet, some showing guns, pistols and sticks, cursed, defied and dared them to fire. When two or three cocked their guns, amd were about to shoot into the crowd, the Sheriff, by his coolness, prevented a bloody outbreak, ordered them to act on the defensive and wait till they were attacked. Meanwhile Col. R.H. Goodwin and Dr. Alan J. Green placed themselves between the parties, and ,at the risk of their lives with uplifted hands, in loud tones, earnestly adjured them to forebear. Finally, it was said, Dr. Thornwell appeared upon the scene and calling upon the boys to follow him to the college, was obeyed." Blanche
