Mary Stevenson, a librarian at Clemson University for many years who did extensive research on the history of families connected to the university and whose papers are now in Clemson Library’s Special Collections and Archives, made notes on Benjamin Green’s 15 January 1802 letter to John Ewing Colhoun. The notes are filed in the Mary Stevenson Collection at Clemson’s archives, in a folder entitled “Pickens, Colhoun, Calhoun” (ms 353, box 9, folder 25). They indicate that Stevenson was puzzled about who Benjamin Green was and why he interacted with John Ewing Colhoun. After summarizing the contents of his letter to Colhoun, Mary Stevenson wrote, “J. Green? See letter from John Green overseer at Keowee plantation.” In other words, since she was certain of the name of the Green man who managed Keowee Heights as it got underway – though she apparently did not know that John Green was the husband of John E. Colhoun’s niece Jane Kerr – Stevenson wondered if the 15 January 1802 letter to John E. Colhoun by a Green man was actually from John Green, and if the initial B. by which Benjamin Green signed that letter was a mistake.
