Green left most of his estate, which he inherited from his wife, in his will to provide for a college which would teach scientific agriculture and mechanical arts to South Carolinians. See History, Beginnings https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clemson_University
A copy of the will would be a good record to add to this profile. Here is the Clemson link http://www.clemson.edu/about/history/tgc-will.html
