    3. Hello, I'm still trying to learn more about the several GREEN families in Carlisle, MA. I had found out that Asa GREEN, b1785, had moved to Brattleboro, VT. So, I posted a query on the VT List and found out that Asa had married Electa WILLARD from VT. Asa was a lawyer and active in that town. So far, it seems that Asa and Electa did not have children. But, they adopted Asa's nephew, Theodore GREEN ! Asa was the youngest of 10 children of Zacheus and Elizabeth (KIDDER) GREEN of Carlisle, and their other sons were Thomas, Zacheus, Isaiah, Samuel, and Eli ! I had already found out that Thomas Kidder GREEN had moved to Westmoreland, NH (on VT border), and, as far as I know, his only son was Cogswell Kidder GREEN. So, that leaves Zacheus, b1770, Isaiah, Samuel, and Eli .. as possible fathers to Theodore GREEN, b~1810 ! I found Theodore P. GREEN/E in the 1880 Census living in Amherst, MA, with his wife and possibly his youngest son, Age 20. And, that Census says that Theodore was born in .. Canada ! If that is true, that means that his father had moved to Canada as a very young man ! So, I'm curious if anyone knows of a Zacheus, Isaiah, Samuel, or Eli GREEN/E who went to Canada just after the Rev. War ! The information from the Brattleboro, VT, book said that Theodore would become an Admiral in the Navy !! And, the 1880 census showed he was a Retired Admiral. This means that he could have lived in many places during his adult life. His son, Frederick, was born in VT ~1860 ! Adm. GREEN/E could have had children from the 1830's to 1860 !! And, he might have had 2 wives ! Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA) P.S. Zacheus and Elizabeth (KIDDER) GREEN in Carlisle, MA, also had daughters, Patty, Elizabeth, Sarah, and Hannah. I believe Patty (oldest) might have died young. I have no idea about the marriage of her sisters. FYI: These GREEN children had many KIDDER cousins in New Ipswich and Temple, NH. One of them, Calvin KIDDER, b1765, was my ancestor. We believe he went to Canada around 1783 ! Although we don't really know where he was between 1783 and 1793 !! During the 1790's, he was in St. Stephen, New Brunswick !!! (The "New Ipswich book" said that he had "left the area" around 1783 !) (I have been researching Calvin for 10+ years, and have posted many queries about him on many Lists, so information can be found on him in archives of, especially, ME and NB Lists.)
