GREENE.
John Greene, the immigrant ancestor, is first found on the records in 1639, as living with Richard Smith Jr. at a trading post near the village now called Wickford, in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. There is a family tradition that he came from England, and had the name of Clarke before he changed it to Greene for political and religious reasons, prevalent enough in that time, but nothing has been found to support this idea, and some genealogists scout it altogether, and establish his descent from the English family whose name he bore. He may have come from Gloucestershire, England, with Smith. John Greene, of Newport, and the surgeon John Greene, of Warwick, settled in those places-about the same time that this John Greene was in North Kingstown. In 1663 he was brought before the Rhode Island court for declaring himself under the jurisdiction of Connecticut instead of Rhode Island, as his land was in Quidnesset Neck, which was purchased from the Indians contrary to the orders of the Rhode Island general court. Although he answered the charges with so much spirit that he had to ask pardon, the court agreed to protect his title to the land and declared him still a freeman. He took the oath of allegiance to Rhode Island, May 20, 1671, and January 1, 1672, he was one of six who bought a large tract of land at Narragansett from the Indians, and in 1672-74 his name is written as witness to transfers of land. On July 29, 1679, he signed a petition with fortyone other men of Narrangasett, asking the king to end the dispute between Rhode Island and Connecticut in regard to the jurisdiction of their territory. He deeded one hundred and twenty acres of land on Allen's Harbor to his son Daniel, March 24, 1682, and sixty acres adjoining it to his son James, for which they were to pay him a certain sum each year as long as he lived. He signed an address to the king, July 16, 1686, and May 13, 1692, he was witness to a deed. His name is not on the list of freemen for 1696, so he doubtless died between 1692 and 1696. His wife's name was Joan.
