Jim, For what it's worth, I noticed you mentioned John Sweet and N.B. in one of your posts, there were some of the Sweet lines from RI that migrated to N.B. about the time of the rev. war, may also have been some there earlier. ----- Original Message ----- From: J Lorimer Holm <loryholm@plainfield.bypass.com> To: <RIKENT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2000 1:13 PM Subject: Ships to Nova Scotia > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: James/Maureen Peer [mailto:tracer@bis.on.ca] > > Sent: Monday, November 20, 2000 5:53 PM > > To: RIKENT-L@rootsweb.com > > Subject: "Day" Family, Mid 1700's > > > 1761 Ships to NS > > I have been advised that 4 ships left R.I. for N.S. > > in 1761.

Hi Again Listers This is what I tried to send yesterday, but something happened to part of my message.--Betty I hit the brick wall with Cyril and Silas, and so turned to recent info on John Greene, the Fugitive. I have only seen him in the lineage of John Greene the Surgeon, but have my doubts now from what I include at the end of this email. I am trying to get in touch with the author, Alison Weir. I know nothing about these authors or their references. I only just got them and that is why I am sending it to the different lists. Perhaps someone out there has some imput. Let me know what you think.--Betty In the book by Alison Weir, THE PRINCES IN THE TOWER, copyrighted 1994, American edition, is what she has to say about John Greene: "More and Vergil say that when Richard arrived at Gloucester he sent for a man called John Green 'whom he specially trusted.' John Green can be traced; he had been employed, in various capacities, by Richard when he was Duke of Gloucester, . . . He may well have been the same John Green who is recorded in the CALENDAR OF PATENT ROLLS for 1474-5 as working in Edward IV;s household. On 30th July, 1483, John Green signed a warrant appointing one John Gregory to take hay, oats, horsebread, beans, peas and litter for all expenses of the King's horses and litters for a period of six months. The King, says More, sent Green 'unto Sir Robert Brackenbury, Constable of the Tower, with a letter and credence that the same Sir Robert should in any wise put the two children to death.' It has been argues that Richard III would never have committed such an order to paper, but it is nevertheless plausible that he did so. His letter, . . . is likely to have been discreetly worded so as not to compromise himself. Green was to supply the 'credence,' the unwritten, explicit details, to Brackenbury, and both were men trusted implicitly by Richard. Continues More: 'This John Green did his errand unto Brackenbury.' But Brackenbury was not the stuff of which murderers are made. Vergil says he feared the consequences to his own reputation and safety should his complicity in what More calls 'so mean and bestial a deed' ever be made public. In Green's presence, he knelt 'before Our Lady in the Tower' and 'plainly answered that he would never put (the Princes) to death, though he should die therefor.' pp. 147-8 The King remained at Warwick until 15th August, when he went to Coventry. More states that John Green, returning from the Tower, recounted Brackenbury's refusal to comply with the order to kill the Princes 'to King Richard at Warwick.' p. 150 . . . With Tyrell rode a man whom More describes as Sir James' 'own horsekeeper, a big, broad, square, strong knave' called John Dighton. As a groom he may well have known John Green, who helped look after the royal horses. pp. 156-7 . . . As for those others, who assisted Tyrell with the murder of the Princes, Forrest and Green both received grants from the King late in 1483, and Green was appointed to several offices: Receiver of the Isle of Wight and overseer of the Port of Southampton on 14th December 1483, and Escheator of Southampton in December 1484. On 20th September 1483 he was granted a general pardon for all offences by the King, and in order to avoid questions being asked about his activities, his neighbours in Warwickshire were all granted one too. Such pardons were not unusual during the aftermath of conspiracies." p. 160 There is another reference to this John Greene in the book, WITTER GENEALOGY, written by Georgia Cooper Washburn published in New York 1929 on page 249: "JOHN GREENE, son of the foregoing, was sent, in 1483, by King Richard III as a messenger bearing a letter from the King to Sir Robert Brackenbury who was then the keeper of the Tower of London. In this letter the King gave orders that his two nephews, "the little Princes in the Tower," should be put to death. Although this inquitous command was later obeyed by another governor of the Tower, Sir Robert refused to commit murder at his sovereign's behest, and sent his message of refusal back to the King by John Greene. It is a tradition that when King Henry VII came to the throne he bore enmity to this John Greene because he had played (only) the part of a messenger for Richard III in the later's wicked designs, and that John Greene fled from England lest he be captured by the King. It is said that "John the Fugitive*" returned to England and for safety assumed the name of John Clarke. . . Despite his change of name, the identity of John Greene, the Fugitive was discovered, and he again fled from England, his further history being unknown." *The ancestor of John Greene of Quidnesset.

Hi Listers Here is what I have been able to piece together from two contemporary works in print. Any help on the lineage of this John Greene would be greatly appreciated.--Betty

Hi listers Does anyone have access to the book, WITTER GENEALOGY, by Georgia Cooper Washburn. This book contains the history and genealogy of the Witter family of Massachusetts but includes a reference to John Greene on pp. 248-50. I need a photocopy of those pages and title page. I would like to have the book, but may not be able to obtain it. Thanks for your help.--Betty

Hello List! Being new to this list I ask that you please bear with me. I thought I would put this quandry out to the "experts"!!!! I am descended from Francis1West and Susannah Soule, through their son Francis2 West. Recently I have come across a discrepancy in some information published by the Mayflower Society over time and while sending out emails far and wide to various branches of the Mayflower Society, it appears that prior information published many years ago is now deemed in error. Info published in 1999 (Wakefields Soule Lineage) I am TOLD is now considered correct. For over 20 years I have shown that Francis2West married to Sarah (Meakins) Millard, daughter of Thomas Meakins. I am now told that this was an error (naturally, after I have a good start on the ancestry lineage for Thomas!!! This would also void out information done in other publications like Savage's) and that Francis actually married a Sarah HILLIARD, who is reportedly a daughter of the Widow Mary Mott (widow of Gershom Mott) from a previous marriage. (No mention of a husband/father's given name is mentioned. Mary Mott's will was proved in 1733 and mentions grandsons Francis and John West). This "new info" was published in 1995 in a Mayflower Society publication and was the first to show the change in surname to the best of my knowledge. No mention of references or sources was included for the new info. Now...today I have been informed that this new information will be published in the summer issue of another Mayflower Society publication due to come out at the end of August and will include the first 2 generation of Hilliard. (Does one have to be a member to obtain this copy?) To quote a response from what I believe* came from one branch of the Mayflower Society : " Francis West married Sarah Hillard in East Greenwich, RI on 12 May 1699. The record is from that town and has been published. " I guess what I'd like to know is does anyone have a clue as to what publication might have included such information? I had sent to them a copy of their publication done in 1995 showing this name change, (which started this whole question as to the wife's name) SO IT IS DOUBTFUL THAT THIS 1995 PUBLICATION IS WHAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO AS THE INFORMATON HAVING BEEN PUBLISHED. Has the county of Kent or township of East Greenwich done some sort of publication somewhere in time? Or can anyone tell me if it is possible to obtain a copy of this marriage record and how to go about it? I am not local to Rhode Island, unable to visit there as well, so any communications to accomplish the same will have to be done via email or US Postal Service. Thanks for any help, guidance and/or direction. I apologize for the length of this post as well. Sue * I do intend to write and see if the respondent could be a bit more precise but am finding every email sent to one person as recommended, is handed off to someone else to respond!
