The 1860 federal mortality schedule for Grimes County, Texas, lists B.S. Green next to his brother S.K. Green, stating that B.S. Green died of “Disias of the hart” in April 1860 in Grimes County, after an illness of 21 days.[1] The mortality schedule states that B.S. Green was aged 66 at the time of death and was born in South Carolina. This gives Benjamin S. Green a birth year of 1794. The mortality schedule listings show that at the very end of his life, Benjamin’s brother Samuel had either gone to live with his brother in Texas, having lost his lawsuit in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, against his son Ezekiel, or was visiting Benjamin in Texas at the time of his death. Samuel died in Grimes County in March 1860 of pneumonia, and his brother the following month.
