John Baxter Green, a farmer and stock-raiser, residing on section 30, Marshall Township, was born in Franklin County, Ohio, November 19, 1822, and is a son of Thomas and Sarah (Marsh) Green. On the paternal side he is descended from the Irish, his grandfather having been born in Cork, Ireland, in 1756. He emigrated to America six weeks prior to the birth of his son Thomas, and located in the Keystone State. The father of our subject was a farmer by ocupation, and in 1800 removed to Marietta, Ohio, noted for having once been the home of the Mound-builders. During the War of 1812 he served as a member of Col. Cass's regiment, and was in the army of Gen. Hull, which surrendered to the British General, Brock, at Detroit. After being kept prisoner for some time, he was finally paroled and sent to Cleveland, Ohio, whence he wended his way on foot through the wilderness back to Marietta. In that village, in 1813, he was united in marriage with Sarah Marsh, whose father was an intimate acquaintance of Gen. Washington and served under his command during the Revolutionary War. He died in Franklin County, Ohio, at the advanced age of ninety.
To Thomas and Sarah Green was born a family of twelve children, eight of whom are yet living, the youngest being fifty years of age, and the eldest seventy-three:
