On November 16, 1905, two years after his return to Wilmington from Baltimore, Dr Green married Miss Emma Perrin West, thus uniting another old Cape Fear family with the Greens, Iredells, Harrisses and Meares. Mrs Green is the daughter of Henry P West, wholesale merchant. Her grandfather was SM West, also a native of Wilmington and Civil War veteran and the son of James West. Her grandmother was Emma (Perrin) West, daughter of Henry R and Elizabeth (Jennings ) Perrin.
Mrs Green's mother was Rebecca (Love) West, daughter of John D and Mary Orme (Nutt) Love; the former the son of William James and Marie Teresa Love; the latter, the daughter of JD and Rebecca Vance ( Dickinson ) Nutt. The Wests and the Loves have been residents of this part of North Carolina since pre-Revolutionary times and largely have been engaged in business or farming in preference to the professions. John D Love, maternal grandfather of Mrs Green, was a planter and farmer and a large section of the northeast part of Wilmington once was a portion of the John D Love plantation. Two children have been born of the marriage of Dr and Mrs Green. They are Emma West Green and Mary West Green, both at home.
