From what colony were the green mountain boys?

No colony. The Green Mountain Boys were from Vermont which was recognized by the British crown as a part of the New York colony. They were a militia formed to protect Vermont from the territorial ambitions of New York and to keep Vermont separate from New York. Vermont later declared itself an independent republic, and after the thirteen colonies became the first thirteen states, Vermont joined the Union as the fourteenth state, but it was never recognized by the British as a colony, and the Vermonters did not recognize themselves as New Yorkers.
