In the 1600's there was a population of about 800 natives. Today, there is an estimated 150 mixed bloods still residing in the region. Chief Japasaw was the leader of the tribe, and brother to Chief Powhatan, father of Pocahontas. Pocahontas' mother was a member of the Patawomeck Tribe.”

The first high sheriff of Green County was Nathaniel Owens. He was a farmer of good education for the times, and of a high order of native intellect He was a man of untiring perseverance and industry, and acquired considerable wealth. He bestowed great attention to the education of his children, sent them from home to the best schools, and occasionally employed in his family a private teacher for their instruction. He was among the earliest pioneers to Green County, and participated largely in the hardships which the first settlers had necessarily to encounter. He was thought by many to be selfish in his disposition, and like the old
woman, who, after keeping house many years, bought her a tea-kettle, and determined from that period that she would
neither borrow or lend. He was a close, economical, money making man, but punctiliously honest in all his dealings. He
dispensed but little, if any, of his property to his children in his life-time, but they and their descendants received it all
after his death. Mr. Owens acted for a time as justice of the peace, and also as a judge of the Green County Quarter Session Court previous to 1801, when the Circuit Court system was established. Mr. Owens lived to be eighty odd years of
age, and died about the year 1846, at his residence, on Little Brush Creek, where he lies buried.
