JAMES R. GREEN,
one of the oldest settlers in Mahoning county, is an adopted son of
the commonwealth of Ohio, being a native of her majesty's kingdom of
Great Britain, born at Southampton, July 25, 1799. His parents
were Joseph and Catherine (Sherman) Green, who were also
natives of England. James R. grew to mature years in
his native land, and when he left the parental roof he went to sea.
He entered the navy, and while in the service had the distinction of
participating in the battle of Waterloo. He visited the
important ports of the East Indies, and made twenty-three trips
across the Atlantic.
In 1833 he determined to abandon the water, and came to
the United States, settling in Mahoning county, Ohio. Here he
engaged in mechanical and agricultural pursuits and became one of
the most progressive and prosperous husbandmen of the township.
There were many privations and vicissitudes to be endured on the
frontier, but his life as a sailor had developed that true grit
which has always been strongly characteristic of those who have gone
before and made the way for the forward march of civilization.
Mr. Green was united in marriage in 1833 to
Catherine Mastin, who bore him one child, James Green, an
officer on board a man-of war in the English navy. Mrs.
Green died in England in 1861.
