GREEN - James Green emigrated from N.C. in 1797 and settled first in St. Louis Co., where he remained 2 years. In 1799 he removed to St. Charles co. and settled on what has since been known as Green's Bottom, where he obtained a Spanish grant for 800 arpents of land. Mr. Green, who was a plain, honest farmer, had a passion for running for office, and was a candidate at nearly every election. He was always defeated, but did not seem to mind that, being satisfied, apparently, with the pleasure it afforded him to be a candidate. The largest number of votes he ever received at an election was 70, and the smallest, 11. He married in N.C., and raised 5 children: Robert, John, James, Squire and Elizabeth. The next settler in Green's Bottom was JAMES FLAUGHERTY, who came there in Oct. 1799. He received a Spanish grant for 600 arpents of land. The next settlers in Green's Bottom that we have any record of, were PETER, JOSEPH AND JAMES JERNEY, who came there with their families at a very early date. All received grants of land, and the liberality of the Spanish authorities soon filled the Bottom with enterprising settlers.
