GREEN, GEORGE (1810-72) arrived in New Zealand from Sydney in 1838 and spent some months in the south, making purchases from Maori chiefs which included Centre Island, Stewart Island and bays on the mainland, an area at Catlins, and Quarantine Island in Otago harbour. Returning to Sydney, he prosecuted his claims with the Government of New South Wales without success and in 1858-59 visited New Zealand for the same purpose. From 1860 till his death (on 30 Aug 1872) he lived in Sydney. In 1870 a small grant of 5,000 acres was made to him.
