My guess is that if his grandmother was indeed a Green (and I don't know that for a "fact") he may have been descended from the same family as Hannah Green, George Martin's first wife. Susannah Martin raised his first wife's daughter along with the children of their marriage. It's amazing to me how inter-connected and inter-married all these Salem area families were and in the case of my line at least how they continued to intermarry down thru the generations even after they left MA. If anyone has information on the Greens I would like to know because I have none. Leslie
