The principal correspondents of the additional papers of the Green Family of Worcester, Mass., are William Nelson Green (1804-1870) and his sons, William Nelson Green, Jr. (1843-1864) and Timothy Ruggles Green (1844-1932).
William Nelson Green, the son of William Elijah Green (1777-1863) and Abigail Nelson Green ( - ), was a lawyer and judge of the Worcester Police Court during the twenty years of its existence, 1848-1868. He was also a surveyor, an elected member of the school committee of Worcester, Mass. (see Crane ...), ardent huntsman, fisherman, and orchardist. In 1840, he married Sarah Ball Staples ( - ) of Northborough, Mass., a widow with a young daughter, Sarah. They lived on Summer Street until moving to property (presumably the Crawford Farm) which he owned on Green Hill near the Millstone Quarry.
