    Notes:

    For a record of this marriage, see "New England Marriages Prior to 1700" by Clarence Almond Torrey, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., Baltimore, MD., 1985, pp. 136-137

    Some online sites have this Caleb as being the one born in August 1657. Various sites have that other Caleb as being either the son of Robert or the son of his brother Caleb, who was the governor. Also, Francis Richmond Sears has this Caleb's estimated year of birth as 1650, but 1644 seems more likely when the whole family group is analyzed. We know from his father's will that Caleb was the eldest.

    Caleb's will of 1688 mentions his wife "Phillip," eldest son Caleb, other sons William, Robert, Job, and daughters Mary & "Phillip," both under 18. Also mentioned are cousin Nicholas Carr, "father" Major John Greene, and brother-in-law Peter Greene.

    Caleb married Phillip\Phillippe GREENE Abt 1676, Rhode Island. Phillip\Phillippe (daughter of John GREENE, Jr. and Anne ALMY) was born 7 Oct 1658, Portsmouth, RI; died Between 1690 and 1706. [Group Sheet]


  4. 11.  Phillip\Phillippe GREENE was born 7 Oct 1658, Portsmouth, RI (daughter of John GREENE, Jr. and Anne ALMY); died Between 1690 and 1706.

    Notes:

    Her name was written as "Phillip," but nowadays is usually written as "Phillippa" or even "Phillis." According to information on given names at a Rootsweb site, Phillip/Philip was a popular name for both males & females in the time from 1450 - 1650, although it declined in popularity after the reign of Mary Tudor (1553-1558), when Philip II of Spain, her militant Roman Catholic husband, was perceived as the enemy. The name became very rare in the 1600s, unless, of course, it was passed down as a family name as in this lineage.
