William Billy Green otherwise known as "The Scout" was key to the Anglo-Canadian victory at the Battle of Stoney Creek. Billy Green was born February 4, 1794 in the Saltfleet Township in Upper Canada. His father was a New Jersey Loyalist named Ensign Adam Green. His mother, Martha Green, died after a year or so after Billy was born, so he was raised by his oldest sister. He was the last born of the eleven children in his family. Traditionally he was known to be the 1st white child to be born in the area.^[1]

Billy and his brother Levi were high-spirited young Canadian soldiers who fought as a sort of Special Force(s) in The Battle Of Stoney Creek.^[2][3]
