From the Theta Delta Chi Handbook: "Green was born in Utica, New York on February 5, 1830. After preparing at Utica Academy, he entered the sophomore class at Union in 1846. He was of medium height, erect and of florid complexion, genial, kind, and bright. He is described as a man socially inclined, but of high moral principles, suited to choose the right sort of companionship in the organization of Theta Delta Chi. After teaching school in Powhatan County, Virginia, he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1851. In 1854 he accepted the job of Advocate of the U.S. Pacific Squadron, which took him on a two-year cruise through the Atlantic and Pacific. In 1856 he resigned his position and, after traveling through California, returned to New York State to practice law until his retirement in 1905. He and his wife then spent eleven years in Detroit, returning to Hartford, New York in 1916. Elected to Phi Beta Kappa after graduation, Green was given an honorary degree by Union College in 1912. He died in 1918 and is buried in New Hartford. His son, Andrew Heatley Green, Jr., was initiated into the Gamma Deuteron Charge (University of Michigan) in 1917, becoming the only known relation of a founder to join Theta Delta Chi."
