Hi Gregory, I can help you a little. General Nathanael Greene's mother was Mary Mott, the second of three wives of Rev. Nathanael Greene. I show that Mary Cook, born about 1644, married Samuel Greene of Malden, Mass. Samuel Green was the son of Governor Thomas Green. I have three Enflied Green's in my computer, but none of them seem to be yours. Hope this helps in some way.
