In 78 he gave me a narrative of the Adventures of a 47er, containing many interesting details of early S.F. annals; still living in S.F. 82, and I think in 85. There is some confusion in the records between him and H.A. Green, at Soncma in 47-8. G. (Alonzo), 1848 (?), doubtful date of a Sonora settler. G.

In 47 he was at Sonoma, being a member of the town council, v. 668, and employed in preparing material, under a contract with Larkin, for houses which were erected at Benicia in 48. v. 671-3. There was a Mrs G., perhaps his wife, at Sonoma in 47. G. (H.F.A.), 1848, at Mont., ace. to consulate arch. G. (Hugh W.), 1847, purser on the U. S. Independence. G^J Jacob), 1846, Swiss trapper at N.

Early in 42 he entered Larkin s service at Mont, as clerk; and in May 43 made a contract to carry on L. s business for one year for $400 and 5 per cent of the profits. This arrangement was contin ued to the end of 45, and in Jan. 46 G. made a contract for 3 years to take the business, with 10,000 worth of goods, for one third of the profits, v. 55- 6. I have much of his business corresp. In 44 he got a renewal of his pass port, possibly naturalization; in 46 served on the 1st jury, v. 289, and wa-s Calif ornian. In 48 visited the mines. From Jan. 49 he was a member of the S.F. firm of Mellus Howard, a prosperous and popular man of business, mem ber of the town council, and taking an active part in polkical affairs. He married the widow Montgomery, of the Stevens immig. party of 44, by whom he had a son, in 85 state librarian at Sac., his mother, now Mrs Wallis, being a resident of Mayfield. In 51 Green, being then a prominent candidate for mayor, was recognized and denounced as Paul Geddes of Penn. ,^a default ing bank clerk, who had left a wife and children in the east.
