Green gathered his men at the Holston River, where they built a small fleet of boats.

Thomas received an interview with the Spanish governor, Manuel Gayoso de Lemos, where he claimed the entire district for Georgia.

Green, or possibly his son, is mentioned in a 1782 letter from one official of Spanish colonial Mississippi to another, Carlos Grand-Pre to Esteban Rodríguez Miró: It is suspected that a large part of the slaves brought by Thomas Green were similarly obtained [stolen].

It is probable that part of these Americans, that is, those who have perpetrated these thefts, have abandoned their country in order to enjoy, far from any anxiety, the fruits of their pillage.
