Livingston Co.

W.H. GREEN, Livingston County.  The paternal ancestors of Mr. Green were
Hollanders, and the first trace we have of the family is in 1776, at which
time Conrad Green came from his native country as a soldier in the British
army, in the war of the Revolution.  He was captured by the Americans
shortly after landing, and afterward joined the patriot army, in which he
served until the close of the war.  He settled in Virgina as a planter, 
and died in that State in 1817.  His son, George Green, subject's
grandfather, was born in Virginia.  He came to Kentucky in early manhood
and settled in the northern part of Livingston (now Crittenden) County,
where he died in 1879.  His wife was Polly Crider, daughter of Jacob
Crider, a native of Virginia and an early settler of Livingston (now
Crittenden) County, locating here about 1812, and dying in Caldwell County
in 1861.  Jacob Green, subject's father, was born November 13, 1817, where
he still resides.  He is a large farmer and stock raiser, and one of the
leading citizens of Salem Precinct.  He was married September 10, 1837,
to Miss Elizabeth Bennett, by whom he had eleven children, the subject of
this sketch being the eldest.  Mrs. Green died July 15, 1856, in
Livingston County.  W.H. Green was born October 31, 1839, in Crittenden
County.  He was reared on a farm, and spent the first fourteen years of
his life in Lyon County, to which place his father moved when he was in
infancy.  W.H. enlisted in 1861, in the First Kentucky Cavalry, 
Confederate States army, under the command of Col. B.H. Helm, with which
he served one year.  He particiated in the battle of Fort Donelson, where
he was captured and taken to Columbus, Ohio, and later to Johnson's Island,
remaining in confinement for six months.  From the latter place he was 
exchanged, and immediately rejoined his company, which had been reorganized
and attached temporarily to the Eighth Kentucky infantry, with which he 
served in the Mississippi department, under corps commanders Johnston,
Van Dorn and Pemberton; and in 1863 was transferred to the command of
Gen. John H. Morgan, and participated in the principal battles in which
the Tennessee army was engaged, including Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge,
and others.  He was with Morgan in his southwest Virginia campaign and
Kentucky raids, and at the battle of Cynthiana was again taken prisoner
and kept in confinement on Johnson's Island until the close of the war in 
1865.  After the war he returned to Kentucky, and engaged in farming in
Livingston County, purchasing his present beautiful farm in Salem Precinct,
three and a half miles south of Salem Village.  He owns a farm of 200 acres
and makes stock raising a specialty, in which he has been successful.  He
was married December 14, 1865, to Miss Susan C. Miles, daughter of Col.
Richard and Kittie N. (Woods) Miles, of Livingston County.  The fruits of
this marriage are five children, namely: Charles B., Kittie M., Ida D.,
William N. and George, all of whom are living.  In 1879 Mr. Green was 
elected to represent Livingston and Crittenden Counties in the legislature
and served one term of two years.  He is a member of the United Baptist
Church, as is also his wife, and holds the office of deacon in the
Pinckneyville congregation.
