  [S228] jstor.org, https://archive.org/stream/jstor-4242314/4242314_djvu.txt. DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT GREEN AND ALLIED FAMILIES IN THE STATE OF VIRGINIA. By Holdridge Ozro Collins, of Los Angeles, California. Robert Green, who emigrated to Virginia in 1712, was the son of William Green and Eleanor Duff, of England. It is stated by Dr. Philip Slaughter, at page 138 of his History of St. Mark's Parish, that William Green was an officer in the body guard of William III, Prince of Orange, and this is claimed in the family archives and records of many of his descendants in America. A Roster of that troop, however, shows his name under the title " Yeoman." Whatsoever may have been his rank in the military service of King William, his social position was that of a gentleman. He was a cadet of the family of Green's Norton in Northampton, and descended from the same ancestor as Sir Thomas Green the father of Matilda or Maud who married Sir Thomas Parr, and became the mother of Catherine Parr the sixth wife of Henry VIII. Eleanor Duff, wife of William Green, belonged to the Scotch family of McDuff, and their son Robert always maintained intimate relations with his mother's people. Born in 1695, when only seventeen years old, he went to Virginia with his uncle, Sir William Duff, and they settled at first upon the James river. "In 1732, in conjunction with his uncle, Joist Hite and Robert McKay, he received a patent for 120,000 acres of land in the valley of Virginia, perhaps the earliest patent granted west of the Blue Ridge, and was one of the most active factors in the colonization and settlement of that beautiful region."
