Kent, RI. Buried at Maple Root Church. The unknown author o f the
microfilmed genealogy of John Greene of Quidnesset, referen ced from LaMance
writes the following about this son. "The ancestry and chil dren of this
John Greene were not rightly recorded by several genealogis ts including
Laura LaMance, and Ray Greene Huling. However, starting wit h a statement by
my great aunt Sarah Jane (Maydole) Smith, 'My mother's nam e was Slyvia
Greene, a New ENGLAND (Rhode Island) woman, but had lived i n Otsego County,
New York with a sister after her father died. She had a hal f brother Silas,
who was a soldier in the Revolution, and he was wounded o n Block Island,
Rhode Island.' I visited him when I was twelve years old an d he showed me
the scars which I am proud to remember. He was seventy-fou r years old, and
lived near Oswego, (New York) at Hannibal."
Published records show John Greene(4) (Ebenezer(3) John (2 ) John (1) born
April 15, 1732, wife Abigail and sons Daniel, born Decembe r 19, 1762 and
Silas born March 23, 1765.
The author has proof that John Greene (father of Daniel bor n December 19,
1762, and Silas born March 23, 1765 was not the son of Eben ezer, but of his
brother, James, and Rebecca (Cahoon) Greene..... Elizabeth NICHOLS and Jonahtan (John) GREENE were married on 7 October 1770 in Greenwich, Fairfield County, Connecticut, BCA.
