John Greene (1597-1658), came from Salisbury County, Wilts, the first of the name in New England. He sailed from Southampton, 6 Apr 1635, in the ship James and reached Boston 3 Jun 1635, with his wife and seven children. He was a surgeon in Salisbury, Eng., where he married his first wife, Jean Tattersale, 4 Nov 1619. For a short time John Greene lived at Salem, Mass. 1 Aug 1637, he (then called of New Providence) was charged with speaking contemptuously of the authorities in Massachusetts and was fined and "enjoined not to come into the jurisdiction of Massachusetts."
From his refuge in Rhode Island, he wrote a letter to the court at Massachusetts charging them "with usurping the power of Christ and the Churches and Men's Consciences," etc. He was one of twelve, to whom Roger Williams deeded land bought of "Canonicus" and "Miantonomie "; also one of the twelve original members of the First Baptist Church. In 1642, John Greene bought land called "Occupassuatuxet" of Miantonomie. This land remained in the family until sold to John Browne, and now is owned by the Browne family. 12 Jan 1644, John Greene and ten others bought of the Indians for one hundred and forty-four fathoms of Wampum the present town of Warwick. 12 Sep 1643, he with others of Warwick were ordered to appear at Boston on complaint of some Indians.
