Dr Green to Emma Perrin West~1905

Transcribed by Fran West




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 **S.M. 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 J. D. 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.
