    Notes:

    James was the great-grandfather of General Nathanael Greene, second in command to General George Washington during the Revolution. General Nathanael Greene's birthplace was the Greene homestead at Potowomut, Warwick, RI. Sometimes referred to as James Greene "of Potowomut," he was made freeman of Warwick and Providence Plantations in 1647. He served as Town Clerk in 1661, and was described as "as excellent penman of the old English text" ("The Greenes of Rhode Island," p. 64). Under Rhode Island's first charter, he served as Commissioner, or member of the General Assembly. Under the second charter (1663), he served as Deputy Assistant for ten years, until about 1675. His house, along with all in Warwick except one, was burned down by Indians in the Spring of 1675/76 during King Philip's War. Being warned in advance, he had fled to Portsmouth where his father-in-law, John Anthony, lived. It was some time after this, about 1684, that he located at Potowomut, where he built a house by a river which provided power for a forge which was used by his sons and grandsons to do iron work, such as making anchors. (See "The Greenes of Rhode island," p. 64)
