    Thomas Greene's family home, "The Stone Castle," was about where the Elks' Lodge currently is on West Shore Rd., Warwick, just east of Oakland Beach Ave.

  • Notes 
    • He was referred to as Thomas Greene "of the Stone Castle." He purchased from his brother-in-law James Sweet a stone house at "Old Warwick," built in the early days of the settlement. It was the only stone house south of Providence on the mainland. On March 16 & 17 1675/76, Indians burned every house in Warwick except this stone house, where Thomas, along with his wife, six children, and some friends and neighbors, stayed safely.
