Lawyer, politician, soldier and officer of the Republic of Texas (1802–1863). When the Texas Revolution began, Green enlisted in Isaac N. Moreland's company and during the Battle of San Jacinto, Green helped operate the famed ‘Twin Sisters’ cannons, the only artillery present in Sam Houston's army. A few days after the decisive victory, Houston rewarded Green with a commission as a lieutenant. Green would eventually rise to the rank of Brigadier General of the Confederacy during the Civil War. Handwritten endorsement, signed “Thos. J. Green, Brig. Genl Texas Army,” at the bottom of a one-page manuscript discharge, 7.5 x 6.75, dated November 18, 1836. Document reads, in part: “This is to certify that William H. Murray, a private in the Zavala Volunteers…enrolled into the service of the Republic of Texas, on the 13th day of May last, to serve six months…is hereby honorably discharged from further duty.” Underneath Green writes, “The Zavolla [sic] Volunteers belonged to my Brigade being the first Brigade Texas Army—and I certify to the above facts all coming under my knowledge.” Intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature, a few small separations and areas of paper loss to folds, scattered creasing, toning, and foxing, as well as some light soiling, otherwise very good condition. The Robert Davis Collection.
