- Pension application states that he enlisted in the Va. Militia in Charlotte Co., VA in 1777. He enlisted twice in the VA Militia during the Revolutionary War for two separate three month periods. He fought in the pivotal battle of Guilford Courthouse NC on 15 March 1781 After the war, due to the British law of primogeniture, where the oldest son inherited all the property, he not being the oldest, didn't inherit so sought his future Georgia and moved south. He lived in various locations in N.C. and GA., and was involved in several land lotteries until he finally settled in Monroe Co. GA. At one point he worked for the Indian Agency while he and his family lived in Jasper Co., GA.
He married Mildred Appling of Wilkes Co., GA. Their union resulted in five surviving daughters and four surviving sons. Thomas was buried in the Green family cemetery in what is now in Lamar Co., GA, near Liberty Hill.
