Notes for ANDREW MCCLURE GREEN:
History of Texas Together With a Biographical History of Tarrant and Parker Counties (pg 107) Montgomery Co., TX Library: R 976.453 His.

Andrew M. Green, one of the oldest settlers of Texas and one of Parker county's most respected citizens, was born in St. Louis county, Missouri, February 21, 1829. He is the oldest son of Zidkiah (Zedekiah) Green, a native of North Carolina, who was taken by his parents to Kentucky when he was two years old. In Kentucky he grew up, and then removed to St. Louis county, Missouri, where he married Susanna McClure, who was born in Kentucky and was raised in that State and Missouri. In 1849 he came with his family to Texas and settled in Fayette county, where he died in 1872, at the age of seventy years. His wife survived him until 1888, when she passed away at the age of seventy-four. They reared a family of seven children, five of whom are still living.
      Andrew M. remained with his parents until he reached his majority and came with them to Texas, landing in Fayette county with only a dollar in his pocket but with plenty of energy and ambition and a determination to succeed. He soon found himself able to buy a little farm for himself, and from that he made a start in life. Misfortune, however, overtook him. He sold his farm and bought stock with the money, and when the war came on he lost all he had, and had to commence anew. During those troublous days Mr. Green took for his stand the side of the Union. He did not believe in dividing the Government. He hauled large quantities of cotton to various points, and the last trip he made he drove five ox teams, twenty-eight yoke of cattle, and ran the rebel blockade with forty bales of cotton. With the $1,000.00 he received for his cotton he purchased a fine farm of 200 acres, the price of land then being very low as the Confederates supposed the Yankees would confiscate all Southern property and they were glad to sell at any price. Mr. Green, being a man of good judgment, made his investment in the nick of time. A few years later he sold out for $6,500 in gold. In 1872 he moved to Parker county and bought land seven miles northeast of Weatherford, where he lived thirteen years and from whence he removed into Weatherford. Here he was for some time occupied in buying and selling land, but of recent years he has been living more retired. He still owns a good farm and has considerable town property, which he rents.
      Mr. Green was married in 1853 to E.J. Huff, daughter of Henry Huff, a native of Tennessee, who moved to Texas about 1840, when Mrs. Green was 2 years old. Mr. Huff died in 1878, at an advanced age. There were eight children born to Mr. and Mrs. Green, six of whom survive, as follows: Martha E., wife of L.F. Wright of Weatherford; Susanna E., Wife of John F. Rhea, of Weatherford; Francis T., wife of Henry Gordon, of Veal's Station, Texas; William E., a minister, of Oklahoma, Indian Territory; Zedkiah W., a farmer of Palo Pinto county, Texas; Mollie J., widow of John H. Stone, a former merchant of Weatherford; Andrew F. who died at the age of two years; and Emma F., who died at the age of seventeen years.
      Mr. Green has had his ups and downs in life, has been broken up no less than three times, and notwithstanding all his misfortunes he has finally won his way to a comfortable competency and is now in the enjoyment of all the comforts of life. Although he has passed his sixty-fifth milestone, there are no silver threads among his locks and he would easily be judged twenty years younger than he is. Note: This article apparently was written by Andrew M. Green himself. Evidently he was a proud and somewhat arrogant man.

Andrew Green was a successful cotton farmer. His sales during the Civil War were apparently in Mexico, and the blockade he spoke about at the border. In later years because of his sympathies, he was called the "Yankee Grandfather". Fayette County, including the Huffs, was a German community. The children were heavily influenced by this culture, rather than becoming Americans. This situation was upsetting to Andrew Green and lead to his departure for Parker County in 1873. On August 24, 1877 Andrew Green signed a petition with his wife and two children to the Red Oak Presbytery requesting permission to form a Cumberland Presbyterian Church to be known as Union Congregation. This was the first Presbyterian Church in Parker County and he was elected Elder of the new church. Andrew McClure Green is buried with his wife Eliza Jane in the City Greenwood Cemetery In Weatherford, Texas.
