Some day he will send a full history of his life. In 54 he visited Cal. and was seen by Win F. White whose Grey s Picture ofPion. Times, 124-31, contains a good account of G. s life and in 55 he writes to Larkin from N.Y. that he had settled with Mr H. (Howard ?); that Mr B. (Brannan) had settled the Penn. affair; and that he is about to start for Tenn. He is understood to have rejoined his 1st wife and to.be still living in 85. In the S. J. Pion. of Apr. 21, 77, it is stated that G. had been for some time asst sec. of the U.S. senate, and that he visited Cal. in 76. Lieut Maddox accused Green of dishonorable conduct in 46-7, and there are some slight indications that his Penn. defalcation was not his only transgression; but his Cal. record, as a whole, was excellent.

They served in Sutter s force 4J3 ; Bryant met the old man in Lake Co. 46, when he claimed to be 83 years old; Britain was with the 2d Donner relief of 47, and lived in Mendocino Co. 84; S. S. Greenwood, apparently one of the 3, is said to have been a nat. of Nova Scotia, to have come with Fremont, and to have been justice of the peace and assessor at Sac., where he died in 78. John served in Co. E, Cal. Bat. (v. 358), and had a trading-post in Greenwood Val. 48.
