Research Notes
- Revolutionary War
- On 30 Oct 1832, Benjamin Green filed a Declaration in connection with his application for a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War. He stated that he was born in Sussex County, New Jersey, in 1755, but the bible record of his birth had been torn out. He served under the following officers: Col. Summer, Maj. Lane, Capt. Samuel Cox and 1st Lt. Robert McClain.
- He was living in Louden (sic) Loudoun County, Virginia, when he entered service as a volunteer about the end of June, 1777. He marched to Bellhaven, Virginia. He served about 2 months, being released the end of August of the same year. He was drafted in September 1778 and served another two months in Leesburg, Virginia, where he guarded prisoners. In August 1781, he was again drafted and marched to the siege of Cornwallis (the Siege of Yorktown) under the commander of Maj. West. He was present at the taking of Cornwallis and was marched as a guard for some of the prisoners to Nolen's (sic) Ferry on the Potomac River. He was then discharged in October 1781.
- He stated that after the Revolution, he moved to Allegheny County, Maryland, then moved to Ohio about 33 years ago, and was currently living in Union Township, Licking County, Ohio. Michael Beam (brother of Catharine) signed a statement attached to the application, testifying to accuracy. His pension was approved for service of six months.

Thanks for making the changes.
I would appreciate it you would look at the format and sources of my recent edit. I am not sure those are in proper form. The facts are right. But this is not my husband's Green line (DNA at FTDNA) which I can prove on the paper trail only from IRA abt 1820 in neighboring Franklin County OH. in Columbus from then until now. But before is a wall so I'm always looking at other Greens in early Ohio. Hope you will let me know if I goofed in the editing.
Note that the wikitree Category for the cemetery is also incorrect. If you want any more information, please "yell" as people say around here. Thank you.
