Excerpt from Life and Letters of Samuel Fisk Green, M. D: Of Green Hill
The first and second generations of the Greens of Green Hill had passed through the latter stage of the Colonial Period with its institutions framed and guided by the mother country; and the third had entered upon that epoch of conflict ing opinions, which culminated in the Revolu tion - in which they were not inactive participants. William E. Green was born in the period between the Declaration of Independence and its con summation and acknowledgement by Great Britain. For several years it was, therefore, uh determined whether he was to remain a British subject or become an American citizen. The Revolution when completed still left unsettled, questions which chafed the patriotic spirits of the infant Republic and led to the hostilities of 1812; and though much bitterness was cherished against England after that time, yet the modes of thought and the habits of domestic and social life were still largely modelled on 'those of that country. Official life was attended with ancient forms; the sheriff walked the streets with cockade and sword, the judges were conducted to court with marked ceremony, and the clergy were given precedence even in leaving the house of worship.
