- [S65] Green Family in New England Families.
Thomas Green, the immigrant GREENE ancestor, was born in England
about the year 1600, according to a deposition that he made August 16, 1662. Thomas Green, probably his son, came to Massachusetts at the age of fifteen in the ship "Planter," which sailed from England, April 2, 1635. The same name and age appear also in the passenger list of the ship "Hopewell." which sailed the next day and are believed to represent the same Thomas Green Jr. Preceding the list of passengers in the "Planter" is a certificate which states that Thomas came from St. Albans, Hertfordshire. It seems likely that Thomas Green Sr. came to New England at the same time or a little earlier, and settled at Lynn and Ipswich, Massachusetts. He was living at Lady Moody's farm at Lynn about 1646. He removed to Maiden about 1650, and was living there October 28, 1651, when, his wife Elizabeth and daughter Elizabeth signed a petition to the general cfiurt. He had a farm of sixty-three acres in the northern part of Maiden. He was one of the leading citizens, serving repeatedly on the grand jury and in 1658 as selectman of Maiden. The first wife of Thomas, Elizabeth, whom he married in England, was mother of all his children. She died August 22, 1658, and he married (second) September 5, 1659, Frances Cook, who was born in 1608. She married (first) Isaac Wheeler, and (second) Richard Cook, who died October 14, 1648. She had children by the first two husbands, but none by her third husband, Thomas Green. Thomas Green died December 19, 1667. His will, dated November 12, 1667, was proved January 15, 1668, bequeathing to five sons, five daughters and his wife. The homestead was situated in that part of Maiden now included in Melrose and Wakefield.
