BIOGRAPHY: John Green married Susannah Hollopeter, daughter of Mathais Hollopeter, a wealthy German landowner. John was disowned by the Quakers for this marriage. John and Susanna left York County, PA and went to Washington Co, PA in about 1783 where they lived until 1802 when he moved to Mercer Co., PA. John and Susannah had at least 6 children, and possibly more. (Info from Charles Green <cgreen at clover.net> 6/24/01(via others))
