Major General Nathaniel GREENE, of the Rhode Island GREENE family, had two older half brother's. The half brother's were children from his father's first marriage...Benjamin GREENE, born July 7, 1734 who married Freelove TILLINGHAST, and Thomas GREENE, born November 11, 1735 who married Susannah HARRIS. Does anyone have any information on the descendants of these brothers, especially Benjamin? Thank you. Fran
I have not done any original research on this family, however; there are a lot of researchers posting information on Rootsweb that indicates that Benjamin Green, b. 26 April 1755 in Sussex County, New Jersey, who went to Allegany County, Maryland and married Catherine Beam before settling in Licking County was the son of Benjamin Green b. 7 July 1734 married Freelove Tillinghast and the grandson of Nathaniel Greene and his wife Phebe. He was in Allegany County in 1798 and in Licking in 1799. Is this all incorrect? Karen
