GREENSVLLLE.
The founder of Greensville, and the man after whom Green township was named, was Ephraim Green, whose ancestors came to America in the famous ship "Caledonia."
Mr. Green was a Quaker, and settled at Greensville, within hail of the Quaker colony in Warren County,(5*) but when his settlement was effected at the point named is now altogether a matter of conjecture, for none of his descendants can be found in Green township. That he settled there before the opening of the Revolution is certain, inasmuch as it is of record that during that conflict he carried on a tannery at Greensville and manufactured shoes for the use of soldiers in the Continental army.
Samuel Dildine, one of Green’s journeyman shoemakers, and the owner of land also in Green township, lived to be a very old man, and is yet remembered by a few of the dwellers in the township. He belonged to the militia, and, telling once how he and other militiamen were sent out to chase Moody the Tory, said that all hands stopped en route to decorate their hats with sprigs of pine; so that by those tokens each would know the other, and in case of a scrimmage with the enemy there would be no mistaking friend for foe.
