  • 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
