    Notes:

    The will of James Greene of Coventry, yeoman, was dated 18 June 1770 and proved 22 June 1771. It mentions his wife Rebeckah, and the following children: Nathaniel, John, Isaac, James, Wardel, Charles, Othniel (dec'd), Patience Andrew, Rebeckah Andrew, & Jane Andrew; grandchildren James, s/o Wardel; Philip & Wardel, (prob. also) s/o Wardel; Job, s/o Charles; Charles & Othniel, brothers and (prob. also) s/o Charles; William & Othniel, s/o Othniel (dec'd); Mary, d/o Othniel (dec'd); James, s/o Rebeckah Andrew; Almy Johnson; James & Abigail Greene, c/o Isaac.

    There is no explanation for who Almy's parents are, but the will of Patience Andrew, James's daughter, also mentions Amey Johnson, daughter of Elkanah Johnson. Apparently one of James's daughters had a daughter Amey by Elkanah Johnson.

    "James lived at Maroon Swamp which is the area of modern day Coventry Center north of Harkney Hill. His wife Rebecca was the daughter of Nathaniel Cahoone, who was a resident of Warwick, R.I. in the early 1700

Generation: 4

  1. 8.  John GREENE was born Abt 1650; died 6 Oct 1729.

    Notes:

    Some genealogies have this John Greene as a son of John "Quidnessett" Greene, but other more recent researchers strongly dispute that. A closer study of land records indicates that John Jr., the son of John "Quidnessett" Greene, was living in Newport, and may in fact have died earlier than this John, who lived in East Greenwich and then the Harkney Hill section of Coventry.

    Since the evidence for parentage of this particular John Greene has been called into question, I have not extended our family tree beyond this point. For further information, see the following web site: http://www.hal-pc.org/~wmewrght/green.html

    William E. Wright is one of may compilers of Greene genealogies. His book and web site provide a comprehensive analysis of other Greene family researchers, which can be evaluated and compared by interested individuals.

    However, as further research comes to light in the future, descendants may have to yet again change their genealogy data!

    John — Abigail WARDWELL. Abigail (daughter of Uzal WARDWELL and Unknown Wife) was born 27 Oct 1665, Bristol, RI; died Aft 19 Oct 1739. [Group Sheet]


  2. 9.  Abigail WARDWELL was born 27 Oct 1665, Bristol, RI (daughter of Uzal WARDWELL and Unknown Wife); died Aft 19 Oct 1739.

    Notes:

    Her name appears as Abigail D. in some sources, but most genealogies have agreed that she was a daughter of Usal/Uzal Wardwell of Bristol, RI. I have concurred for the present.

    One genealogy says she was born at Ipswich.

    Abigail died after 19 Oct 1739, when she was named in the will of her stepmother.
