CTNEWLON-L Listers: I've been on "vacation" from this list, basically since November 2001 because I was unable to use the computer much, because of reasons of health. These are the families, which I am currently researching: Green/Greene, Gallup, Crary, Stanton, MacWithey/Withey & others. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnewlon/Surnames8.html My most recent ancestor from Griswold, New London Co., CT is my Grandmother, Orrie Emily GREENE (1856-1940), CT>IA>OR, daughter of Benajah Samuel GREENE, Griswold, CT>IA m. (1st) Lucy Emily GALLUP (1838-1858), d/o John & Orra (DOW) GALLUP, & (2ndly) Harriet Kinney, of Griswold, CT>IA (Orrie's stepmother has no relationship to me). My "Brick Wall" is Mary M, wife of William GREENE and mother of Benajah Samuel GREENE -- she possibly from another Green/Greene family or from family with a "surname of M....."! Hale Collection for Green Cemetery, Griswold, CT has "Mary M., wife of Wm., died March 19, 1892, age 80 yrs.,8 mo., 19 days". William GREEN and his ancestral line of GREEN/GREENEs are listed in: "Descendents of Joseph Greene of Westerly, RI also Other Branches of The Greenes of Quidnesset, or Kinston, RI, and other Lines of Greenes in America" by Frank L. Greene(365) 1894, pp 457-458 under other Greenes, and they found in Preston, CT records back through William's G-grandfather, John GREEN (Of Stonington). http://www.rootsweb.com/~iaharris/bio/geneal26.htm#greene Biography of Benajah Samuel Greene (We have found no evidence that the Major General Nathaniel Greene was his GG-Grandfather; however, LT David Green m. Molly Withey of Preston/Griswold is a GG-Grandfather. David & Molly are buried in the Green Cemetery, Griswold, CT.) Do any of you know Harriet Kinney (maybe Kinne family?) of Griswold, New London, CT>IA? Thanks.
