"Mr. Samuel S. Green, of No. 19 Dan- iel street, this city, is the son of Mark Wentworth Green, [usnally known as Mark Green], who was born in Ports- month in the year 1762.


Hle [Mark Wentworth Green] was on board of the U. S. Ship Columbus, baptized in Queen's Chapel-now St.


John's church-his sponsor being Mark Honking Wentworth. The interest of the latter gentleman in his godchild took shape in a proposition to send the young man to England to be educated.


Young Green was a patriot, however, and declined the generons offer, and shipped on board a Portsmouth privateer. This vessel was fortunate in captming three or four prizes, but was in turn captured by three British men- of-war. The youth was sent, a prisoner, to Hali- fax; but was exchanged not long after, and sent on a cartel to Gloncester, Mass. Like his shipmates, he was penniless, and together they returned on foot to Ports- month.

Portsmouth Daily Chronicle, April 2, 1889.


,lohn Green, stated above to have served on the "privateer 'Rambler' under Paul Iones," is believed by his grandson, Mr. Samuel S. Green, to have sailed from Portsmouth on the "Ranger." Nov., 1, 1777. He was, however, certainly on the U. S. Frigate "Alliance," as the name of ",John Green, Carpenter's Mate," appears on the "Roll of the Officers and Crew of the Frigate ' Alliance.' Captain Peter Lan- dais, October 3d. 1779," printed in "Sher- burne's Life of John Paul Jones." The "Alliance" was then one of the vessels of Commodore Jones' squadron, and was present when he captured the "Serapis." Sept. 23, 1779, but took little part in the action. Mark Green, not long before his death, received prize money dne his father for captures made by the "AAlliance."


"Interesting Revolutionary Documents. -Our readers will recall a reference to the services of Mark Green of Portsmouth, in the Revolutionary army and navy, in a recent number of the Chronicle. In con- nection therewith several interesting papers have turned up, the quaintness of which entitles them to a passing notice. 'Two of them are here presented. The first bears the file-inscription : Mark Green's discharge,' and reads thus :

Mark Green always made his home in Portsmouth. During his enlistment in the army the encampment for winter quarters was at one time in a large walnut grove on the Hudson river, near West Point. He related that they com- meneed entting trees, building bnts, and making roads, so that before leaving they had to go a mile or two for their fuel.


Mr. Samuel S. Green is also a nephew of Thomas Harvey, whose Revolutionary service is given on later pages.

When Lafayette visited Portsmouth in 1821 an interesting scone occurred in the hall of andience. Harvey was introduced to the General as a sokher who had fonght under him. . Do you recollect. Marquis said Harvey ,, who bore you on his back, after being wounded at the battle of Brandywine, to the surgeon's quarters?' 'He was called Tom Harvey,' said the excellent Lafayette. What took place thereafter, if we know, it is not proper to relate."


Portsmouth journal, February 1, 1837.


Thomas Harvey was born in Ports- mouth in 1752 of 1553, and served gal- lantly in the Continental army during seven years of the Revolutionary war. He crossed the Delaware with Washing- ton. and was at the battle of Brandy- wine, Sept. 11, 1777. lle died in Ports- month, Jannary 18. 137.


When Lafayette visited Portsmouth. Wednesday, September 1, 1521, and was given a public reception in Franklin Hall, at least thirty soldiers of the Revolution, who had served under him, and many of whom had come from a great distance for the purpose of seeing him, were present.


Among those who pressed forward to shake hands with the illustrious visitor was Thomas Harvey. While retaining the General's band the veteran asked him if he remembered who carried him off' the fleld severely wounded at the battle of Brandywine?


"I do," instantly replied the General- 10 "It was a New Hampshire soldier named gallant service."


" Y os," said the soldier. "It was Thomas Harvey, and -- with a military salute-1 ! am the man."


The General recognized his friend of the battle-field, and manifested great pleasure at meeting him again after the greeted him with a cordiality and a

warmth of manner highly gratifying to the patriot soldier.


AA newspaper of the the says : old friend Thomas Harvey found It dIlli- enlt to restrain himself; the sight of Lafayette recalled all the scenes of the Revolution and well nigh overcame him."


Harvey was always very patriotic and could ill brook a Tory, as was a eitizen of Portsmouth, whose hired man he was for a time. The story is told, that one ! morning he was with him at the old Spring Market, with his basket, when

The reply was - "Because he is a gentleman !"-"And am I not a gentle- man?"- The answer was -- "No""-with a capital N so forcibly given, that a sympathizing citizen, standing near, put half a dollar in llarvey's hand.


In his later years Harvey was not over- burdened with this world's goods, and was bent nearly donble, but he received a small pension, and was always hapny and contented, and quick witted also, as the following incident will show.


The Benevolent Society of the then town of Portsmonth had a committee ap- pointed to visit the poor one hard win- ter to ascertain their wants.


Among others Mr. Harvey was visited. and the gentleman apologized for his visit, by saying-"You look very com- fortable here, I am a sort of a spy go- ing around"-Harvey interrupted him ex- citedly by saying,-"I don't like spies, we Ing one (AAndre ) in the Army, and a handsome man he was too!
