Thomas Green (captain)
Thomas Green (1679/1680 1705) was an English sailor and alleged pirate, who was captain of the ''Worcester''. He was hanged on Leith sands in Scotland along with two of his crew on 11 April 1705. Green was celebrated in a contemporary ballad: The ''Worcester'' was seized, probably at the bequest of the Secretary of the Company of Scotland (Roderick Mackenzie), when she came into the Firth of Forth simply to weather a storm; Green and his crew were alleged to have boarded a ship, the ironically named ''Speedy Return'', off the Malabar coast in India, killed the crew and its captain Robert Drummond, stolen the goods on board, then sold the ship. However, the evidence against Green has been considered flimsy; during the trial, the ship in question was never named, and neither the ship's owner nor any next of kin of the alleged deceased came forward. Furthermore, the exact time and place of the incident were never specified ("upon one or other Days of the Months of February, March, ...

Thomas Green Clemson (July 1, 1807April 6, 1888) was an American politician and statesman, serving as an ambassador and United States Superintendent of Agriculture. He served in the Confederate Army and founded Clemson University in South Carolina. Historians have called Clemson "a quintessential nineteenth-century Renaissance man." Life and education Born in Philadelphia, Clemson was the son of Thomas Green Clemson III and Elizabeth Baker. He was descended from Quaker roots, and his mother was Episcopalian. Partly because of this mixed religious background, Clemson's personal religious belief is not well documented. In 1813, his father died, and his father's second cousin, John Gest, was appointed guardian over him and his five siblings. Clemson was one beneficiary of his father's life savings of $100,000 ($ today), which was split among him and his siblings. Little is known about his home life, but his schooling started in the winter of 1814, as he, as well as the older Clems ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
