Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Daniel JOHNSON was born Abt 1770; died Abt 1834.

    Notes:

    He is likely the Daniel Johnson of West Greenwich, whose will was dated 28 Nov 1833, proved 31 Mar 1834. The will mentions Daniel's wife Freelove and the following children: Josiah A., James R., Arnold (dec'd), Freelove, Abigail Greene, and Sally Matteson; also a grandson Daniel, son of Arnold.

    A family tree at Rootsweb's Worldconnect shows his wife as Freelove Burlingame. However, the death record of son Arnold at West Greenwich has Daniel's wife as Freelove Arnold (as per RIVR NS Vol 6 p 153; I have not viewed the original).

    See the following quote:

    "Hiram Greene, son of Judge Benjamin and grandson of Col. Isaac. His first wife's only son died at manhood. His second wife was Abigail Johnson of Greene descent [Abigail, Daniel, Abigail Greene-Johnson, Usal Greene, John, John]. By her he had Tryphena and Benjamin. Hiram died, aged but 23, though twice married and the father of three children." (source: "The Greene Family and its Branches" by Lora S. LaMance, Mayflower Pub Co.)

    See also notes for Daniel's daughter Abigail.

    Daniel married Freelove ARNOLD Abt 1792. Freelove was born Abt 1770. [Group Sheet]

    WOOD BETSEY E (JOHNSON) 1795c - 11 NOV 1885 CY135

  3. 4.  Abigail JOHNSON Descendancy chart to this point (1.Daniel1) was born 25 Oct 1802, West Greenwich, RI; died 12 Sep 1856, Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    The following is a partial quote from "Acts and Resolves of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" pub. by Henry Ward, Sec'y, 1846, p 7, January, 1846: "Upon the petition of Abigail Greene of Coventry, A. Greene, in this State, guardian of the persons and estates of Tryphenia H. Greene and Benjamin Greene, minors, children of Hiram Greene, late of said Coventry, deceased, praying for the reasons therein stated, that . . . "

    Some of our family info has her name as Abigail Matteson, but a couple of online genealogies at Rootsweb have her surname as Johnson, daughter of Daniel. If that is true, I have traced her ancestry. (This needs more research. I have not yet checked the death record at Coventry.) See Lora LaMance's book on the Greene family; she says Hiram's second wife was Abigail Johnson, d/o Daniel.

    According to the above official document, she was Abigail Greene on or about January 1846.

    The will of Daniel Johnson of West Greenwich dated 28 Nov 1833 mentions a wife named Freelove and a daughter named Abigail Greene. For this reason and the above evidence, I have placed Abigail in this family.

    Abigail married Hiram GREENE Abt 1826. Hiram (son of Benjamin GREENE and Harrietta Hettie Unknown) was born 12 Jun 1807, Coventry, Kent County, RI; died 26 Oct 1829, RI; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    Her gravestone has been photographed. Her surname has been spelled as Green and Greene, as has the name of the clergyman who married them, Caleb Green(e).

    "Tryphena Greene-Johnson, daughter of Hiram, m. her second cousin, Philip Johnson [Philip, Philip, Ezekiel, EIizabeth Greene-Johnson, Usal Greene, John, John]. Their children have five strains of Greene blood. Harty Johnson-Whitford, m. Carmi Whitford. Philip R. Johnson. Has a son and a daughter." (source: "The Greene Family and its Branches" by Lora S. LaMance, Mayflower Pub Co.)

    The following is a partial quote from "Acts and Resolves of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations" pub. by Henry Ward, Sec'y, 1846, p 7: "Upon the petition of Abigail Greene of Coventry, A. Greene, in this State, guardian of the persons and estates of Tryphenia H.

  5. 13.  Benjamin Greene Descendancy chart to this point (4.Abigail2, 1.Daniel1) was born Abt 1828; died Aft 1 Jun 1860.

    Notes:

    In the Federal Census of 1850, Benjamin Green is age 22, living at Coventry, RI, with his mother Abigail Green 27, and Bradford R. Green 14.

    He may be the Benjamin Greene aged 30 in the 1860 Federal Census, living at Coventry, married to Mary E. Greene 24 and with an infant daughter Lucy 1.

    Is he Benjamin W. Greene 51 in 1880, living with Mary E. 50 in Providence, with two daughters? This needs more research.

    Notes:

    We have a picture of Great-great-grandma Harty Whitford, taken in 1912 in a five-generation group which includes her father. More recently I was given a picture of her as a young mother. These and other family pictures are posted at our family web site [www.thesorensens.net].

    I have a photocopy of her original death entry in the Book of Deaths in 1917, p. 51, for the Town of Coventry. Also, her gravestone has been photographed.

    I think she must have been named after Harty (Potter) Johnson, wife of her uncle Caleb Johnson.

    Harty married Charles Carmi WHITFORD 25 Nov 1866, Richmond, RI. Charles (son of Jeremiah Bailey WHITFORD and Sally Williams TIBBETTS) was born 14 Dec 1834, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; died 18 Aug 1910, Coventry, Kent Co., RI; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    These are Philip's second and third marriages; I haven't yet discovered who Philip's first wife was. The third marriage entry says he was widowed, she was divorced.
