Inscription.
Sherwood Green (1766-1840) came to Tennessee in the late 1700s from Warren County, North Carolina as a member of a team charged with surveying Revolutionary War grants. The group was headed by his father-in-law, Col. William Christmas, who became Tennessee Surveyor General and Entry Taker in 1803. Green, an active Methodist layman and Freemason, brought his family here in 1803. They lived in this two-story house, and owned 1,689 acres in the county. His remains, those of his wife, Martha Christmas Green, and other family members rest in the nearby cemetery.

Erected 1996 by Williamson County Historical Society.
