I have been busy and am responding at this late date Here is some data on his family in Kent County England. Governor Thomas Greens mother and father were Sir Thomas Green Of Bobbing Kent and Lady Margaret Webb of Frittenden Kent. Gov Thomas had 3 brothers Jerimiah Green/e, John Green/e and Robert Green/e. Sir Thomas Green/es father was Sir Robert Green of Bobbing Kent married Francis Darrel of Scotney. Sir Robert Green/es father was Sir Thomas Norton alias Green/e married Alice Heveningham Sir Thomas was the Illegitament son of Sir John Norton of Northwood in Kent who married Joan Northwood( His father recognized him ) Sir John Nortons father was Sir Reginald Norton of Lee's Court in Sheldwich Kent married Katherine Driland of Cooksditch in Faversham Kent. Sir Reginald Nortons father was William Norton of Faversham Kent married Elizabeth Hussey of Chilstone. William Norton's father was John Norton of Lees Court called Sheldwich. Lees Court was brought into his marrige by his wife Lucy At Leeze. It gets fuzzy from here. John Nortons father was another John Norton. This John Nortons GGG??Grand father was Nicholas de Norton who lived during the reign of King Stephen 1135-1154. Thats it for now Im still researching. Chip Greene (Melvin R. Greene III) >> Hi Chip, We have probably discussed this possibility before, but do you think that the Norton family you show above was some how connected to the family of Sir Henry Greene who purchased The "Davie's Norton" estate in 1353 and renamed it "Green's Norton" estate. The Norton estate was on the Doomsday rolls, so it existed prior to William the Conqueror coming in 1066. Since people did not use last names until this period, I wonder if there is some connection?? What do you think? Tom Green
