John Calvin Green, born in\u00a0Forsyth,\u00a0Georgia\u00a0on March 10, 1847 fought in the Civil War as an infantryman and was a master carpenter and skilled brick mason. His marriage to Mary Lou Browning, born June 29, 1856 in Forsyth was on September 14, 1873. In the early 1880’s, this family moved to\u00a0Texas\u00a0and settled in the Enon (now Sunset) Community where John Calvin helped operate the industries powered by the Mill Branch Water Wheel located near\u00a0San\u00a0Pedro\u00a0Creek\u00a0as it runs into the\u00a0Grapeland\u00a0Club\u00a0Lake. He built wood cabinets and brick chimneys and flues for a trade. One of Mr. Green’s sisters married Henry Ingram and they lived near the Greens in\u00a0Texas. John Calvin, an accomplished violinist, often entertained his grandchildren with his “fiddle”. Although a dapper young man in his youth, he settled down in later life to become a self-appointed morals tender for the community. He wasted no time in deriding a young maiden for wearing lipstick and the dresses were always too short. His favorite “swear” word was “confound it”. He and his wife and children were charter members of the Sunset Christian Church in 1903. Mary Lou Raney Browning, a very beautiful young lady with big brown eyes, was the daughter of Mary Ann Shockley, born September 11, 1821, and Eli J. Browning who was born March 27, 1822. Mary Lou did her part in teaching the many young grandchildren to read early in life. One of Mary Lou’s brothers came to\u00a0Texas\u00a0and was a mail carrier, living in Grapeland with his wife and three daughters.

Julia Green married Jim Brimberry and had: (1) John A. who married Lillie Spruill; (2) Elmer Lee married Eula Rail Driscoll; (3) Bert who married Opal Pennington; (4) Stanley Odell who married Valley DuBose; (5) George Frank who married Juanita Radford and Bernice DeZelle; (6) Julius Everett who married Stella Mims; (7) Seth Olan who never married; (8) Nana Lou who married Clayton Dominey, Bernice Yates and Coy Clark; and (9) James Woodrow, a bachelor.
