Notes:

In 1702 Samuel Greene purchased from Jeremiah Westcott the fulling mill at Apponaug. The following three paragraphs are excerpted from the web site of the City of Warwick, RI, and is entitled "Warwick's Villages & Historic Places," by Don D'Amato:

The Greenes in Apponaug
Most historians mark the beginning of the village of Apponaug with the building of the fulling mill by John Micarter on Kekamewit Brook, near Apponaug Cove, in 1696. This was a well-taken point for after that the area began to attract the attention of many of the younger sons of the early settlers. In 1697, Micarter sold the mill to Jeremiah Westcott who in turn sold it to Samuel Greene in 1702.

John Greene, Surgeon
The acquisition of the property by Samuel Greene was a significant event in the village's history as it was through the leadership of the Greene family that Apponaug developed during the 18th and early 19th centuries. This family was that of John Greene, Surgeon, who along with Samuel Gorton and Randall Holden founded Warwick in 1642. In many ways, the history of Warwick, and that of Rhode Island, mirrors the history of the Greene family. As there were many sons and grandsons of John the Surgeon, the names John, James, Samuel, and Thomas Greene appear often in generation after generation.

Major John Greene
The Samuel Greene who purchased the mill in 1702 was the son of Major John Greene and Ann Almy. Major Greene, one of the most powerful and important figures in early Rhode Island history, was the son of Surgeon John Greene and Joanne Tatersall.
