He was a devoted member of various charitable and benevolent institutions. He was an officiating Deacon in the Federal Street Church for nearly fifty years, first under the ministry of Rev. Dr. Channing and subsequently under Rev. Dr. Gannett. His steady and sincere adherence to the Liberal faith through all the fluctuations of time and opinion was remarkable. He was a faithful worker in the American Unitarian Association. He was elected a Representative from Boston to the State Legislature in 1838, 1840, 1841, 1842 and 1843.

     Bartholomew Green I was born circa 1589. He married Elizabeth (Unknown).^1,2 Bartholomew Green I came to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1633 freeman 14 May 1634.^1,2 Anderson writes: "Samuel Green took over the printing press of Matthew Day, and gave rise to a dynasty of printers in Cambridge and elsewhere (NEHGR 104:81-93) He is supposed to have told his children an improbable story of the early hardships endured after the settlement 'upon their first coming ashore, he and several others were for some time glad to lodge in empty casks to shelter them from the weather" (NEHGS 102:81)The claim has been made that this family arrived on the "Griffin" in the fall of 1633 (NEHGR 104:81) This is certainly plausible, but not proven."^1,2 He died in 1677.³

Printer of the Boston News-Letter.² He was born on 26 October 1667 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.¹ He was the son of Samuel Green and Sarah Clark.¹ Bartholomew Green II married Mary Short, daughter of Clement Short, in 1688?¹ Bartholomew Green II married secondly Jane Toppan, daughter of Lieut.

     Bartholomew Green III was born in 1699 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.¹ He was the son of Bartholomew Green II and Mary Short.² After serving his apprenticeship as a printer with his father, Green Jr. set up for himself in 1725 From then until 1751 he printed occasionally on his own and sometimes with other printers, including his brother-in-law, John Draper, and John Bushell. Green printed the Boston Gazette from 1725 or 1726 until 1732. The quality of the work done by one firm with which he was associated, that of Bushell, Allen and Green, seems to have been high. Isaiah Thomas, in The history of printing in America, remarked that they used handsome types, and printed on good paper."

In February 1744/45 Green was commissioned second lieutenant in the train of artillery to besent to Louisbourg, Île Royale (Cape Breton Island), in the expedition commanded by William Pepperrell. According to Green, "a disposition to Serve His Majesty and (my) Native Country put (me) out of good Business," which he could not regain. In 1748 he therefore petitioned the General Court of Massachusetts to take his case under consideration and appoint him doorkeeper of the General Court.

In 1751 Green moved to Halifax, arriving there in September aboard the sloop Endeavor. He proceeded to erect on Grafton St (north of Duke St) the first printing office in what is now Canada, but died sometime in October. He may have issued a prospectus concerning the publication of a newspaper, which was actually initiated by John Bushel as the Halifax Gazette.
