| 7701 | William is age 82 in the 1850 Federal Census, living at East Greenwich, RI, with Warren & Hitty Remington and Dexter & Ruth Remington. Could he also be the William Greene, age 93, living at Providence in 1860? He is with Sarah Crapeman (?) age 43 or 63 (?). Was he William Fones Greene, found in the RI Cemetery Database? (GREENE, William Fones 1768 - 1 Feb 1863 PV003) This Greene family needs more research. One online site has the wife of William Fones Greene as Abby Sheldon, not Elizabeth. William & Elizabeth may have had another daughter, one named Sophia, b. 1797, d. 8 Nov 1865, md. Mr. Greene. (see RIVR, NS, V. 8, p. 301) Also, I am not sure that Ruth belongs in this family group. Her death record says her parents are William & Elza. However, Elza may have been an abbreviation for Elizabeth. Also, it was not uncommon for two sisters to marry two brothers (Warren & Dexter Remington). | Greene, William (I13661)
|
| 7702 | William is mentioned by name as son of John in the 10 Jan 1735/36 will of his paternal grandfather, William Allen. William is also mentioned as a son of John in a Portsmouth deed dated 6 Jan 1738/9 (see notes for John Allen). On 27 Apr 1757 William Allin, s/o of John Allin Esq. of Prudence Island in Portsmouth, sold land to Ebenezer Allin of Portsmouth; signed by William & Mary Allin, witnessed by Joseph Bates & William Remington. (Po Land Ev Bk 5 p 378-379) However, this may be a different William Allen. There was a William Allen whose widow Mary moved to Warwick with her children before 9 Mar 1747. So, that William died before that date. | Allen, William (I17359)

The Almy family first settled in Lynn, MA, then went to Sandwich, MA, where William received a grant of land as one of the founders 1637. He later sold his land in Sandwich and moved to Portsmouth, RI, in 1642, where he received a land grant in 1644. He was made a freeman in 1655 and later was a juryman and a commissioner.

| 7705 | William is probably the son of William & Dorcas Tilley. Deacon William Tilley had 17 children by his first wife, Elizabeth. Four died in infancy. No children were born of his subsequent two marriages. His obituary in "The Newport Mercury" of 20 April 1825 says: "Died, on Sunday last, Deacon William Tilley, age 87 years. If 60 years of a conscientious discharge of religious and moral duties, joined to the endearing and affectionate domestic ties of husband, father, son, brother and friends, shall claim from our all wise and beneficent Creator, reward and mercy, he now enjoys all the heavenly felicity promised by the Gospel of Christ His life was a life of piety and usefulness, and to the last moments of that life, his faith and confidence was unshaken in Christ, the Son of God. He left a numerous progeny as well as numerous friends, to mourn his departure, 10 children, 79 grandchildren, and 44 great-grandchildren." His gravestone inscription in the Common Burial Ground, Newport, RI, reads: "Having for 60 years manifested by his daily walk and conversation that he was a disciple of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, faithful in the discharge of his duty as a Christian, especially in the office of a deacon, to which he was early called by the 2nd Baptist Church, under the pastoral care of Elder Gardiner Thurston.
