I expect the LWT is at the SCDAH; hopefully you can find it online there. http://archives.sc.gov/onlineresearch/Pages/default.aspx
Green left most of his estate, which he inherited from his wife, in his will to provide for a college which would teach scientific agriculture and mechanical arts to South Carolinians. See History, Beginnings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemson_University

A copy of the will would be a good record to add to this profile. Here is the Clemson link http://www.clemson.edu/about/history/tgc-will.html
