Biographical / Historical
John Cleve Green (April 14, 1800 – April 29, 1875) was a wealthy China trader. A Lawrenceville native, he attended Maidenhead Academy (now The Lawrenceville School) as a boy. He is considered a member of The Lawrenceville School's class of 1816. He was a great benefactor to the School and many members of the Green family are recognized as the "founders" of what is now known as The Lawrenceville School.
