Reverend Jacob Green was born at Malden, Massachusetts, in 1722. He graduated from Harvard in 1744 and set out for Georgia with Reverend Whitefield. When they reached Elizabethtown, New Jersey, Green decided to remain there where he studied divinity under the Reverend Jonathan Dickinson; he became the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey, in 1746. Despite being a member of the clergy, Rev. Green took an active role in political issues, throwing his support behind the Whig party and the independence movement. In May 1776, Green was elected as a representative from Morris County to the Provincial Congress of New Jersey. Besides law and the clergy, Green was also well versed in medicine, and pursued business interests by owning both a gristmill and a distillery. In the 1860s, Green was one of the first Trustees of Princeton College, resigning the post in 1864. Jacob Green died in May, 1790.
