Biographical history
Charles F. Green and his brother Arthur R. Green of Durham County, England, age 21 and 20 years, travelled to Vancouver Island on the passenger steamer "Tynemouth" in 1862. C.F. Green returned to England in 1864 to marry Elizabeth Heppell. They returned to Victoria where the first four of their eight children were born. In 1871 the brothers bought land in the Crescent Island area of Delta; Charles bought District Lot 141 and Arthur DL 142. Charles brought his family to Delta in 1872 where they lived in a small house that they called "Greencroft". The first home was replaced by a larger house in 1890, which still stands today at 5592 River Road. Arthur, who worked as a surveyor, sold his property to Joseph Burr. Charles and his descendants continued to farm on District Lot 141 until 1966 when the farm was sold to George Reifel.
Charles (1840-1917) and Elizabeth (1844-1920) had eight children: Elizabeth E. (1865-1953), Caroline Agnes (1866-1951), Arthur Charles Frederick (1868-1948), Lydia Mary Hepple (1869-1958), Francis John (1874-1965), Ethelind Maude (1876-1960), Constance Muriel (1878-1951), and Muriel G. (1881-1949). Francis John (Jack) took over operation of the farm in 1903 when he married Jessie A. Vallance and his father retired and moved to San Jose, California. Jack (1874-1965) and Jessie (1874-1943) had five children: Margaret Vallance (1904-1905), Reginald James (1906- ), Francis Vallance (1908-1978), Helen Vallance (1910- )and Elizabeth Etheline (1911-1975). Jack and his sons and their families lived on the farm until Jack's death in 1965 and the sale of the farm the following year.
