George Green papers, 1835-1939, (bulk 1844-1880).

Surveyor's field notes, both originals and true copies from the Texas General Land Office, surveyor's sketches, business correspondence, legal and financial documents, and blank official forms document the business of a deputy surveyor in Milam County and Central Texas from soon after the Texas Revolution through Reconstruction. Photographs of Green, Battle of San Jacinto veterans, a friend and San Jacinto veteran George Erath and a memorial on the San Jacinto Battleground dated possibly between 1881 and 1885 are also of interest. Granddaughter Alice McGehee's handwritten notes concern Green's field notes.
