HID family of GmmNE derive their name, originally written de Greene, from their ancient possessions in N orthamptoushire, where they were seated so early as tho time of ]Ddwnnl the First. In 1B20, 'I1homas de Greene t-iuccccded tu Uw cHtates, and was Lord of the l\fouors of Boughton and N 01ton, afterwards called Greene's Norton, whorn the family continued to 1lourish for several generations, sending offshoots into various Counties; to some of these collateral lines reforenee will be made on a subsequent page. Boughton, the ancient name of which was Buke­ ton, is three and a half miles north of the town of Northampton; it was the former scat of the llial'ls ol' Strnffonl. In the Lwe11ty-scvcuU1 year of the reign of lDtl wanl UI (1B54), Sir llemy Greene, 10 'I'HE FAMILY OF GREENE. Lord of Boughton Manor, obtained for himself and his heirs the grant of a Fair, to be held yea1·ly for three clays, beginning on the vigil of St. ,T ohn Baptist, the patron Saint of the Parish; and since that time, clown to the beginning of the present cL~ntury, and pC!·haps later, this Fair is said by a local historian to have been the "most celebrated in that part of the kingdom, and reso1tecl to by great numbers for pleasure and business of every description." Here there formerly stood, near a lhrnons spnng, doubtless nsed in early times to supply the sacrn­ mental waters of baptism, the parish church, dedi­ cated to St. John Baptist; it was half a mile away from the village, on the Gt·ecn. As early as tho time of Ilemy VfIT, it had hognn to !'all into decay; the tower and spirn alone were standing in 17ul, and these foll about 1785; nothing now remains but a of' its rnins )· cha1>el ' erected about the l.H..wi11nin°·b b the sixteenth ce11tt11·y, wm; usetl by the people as their place of worship.

It contained the tombs of some of the early members of the family, and Baker, in his "History and Antiqnities of Northamptonshire," has preserved an account of two of its Greene monuments. One of those bore the arms of Greene and those of the allied families of Zouch, Drayton and Mablethorpc. The other had "a portraieture of a man in a short gowne yt should shew hym a lawyer, having also a s'geaut's coyfo. His wyfo also lies in portraictme by hym." On this tomb, at the head, were sculptnrecl the arms of Greene; on the south side they were repeated, and near them the Zouch device; on 1 he north, Greene but.ween ½ouuh irnpaliug Greene, and Hcynes impal­ ing Greene, showing marriages with the daughters of Greene, who were probably hero .interred. At the foot of the tomb was a shield bearing a foss between six crnssos patce, tho arm8 of a family not twmed by Baker, who rcurnrlrn that thi8 monument had l>cen erroneously m,signed to the Greene who married a Mablcthorpe; "but, as the Lol'll Chief ,T ustice was the only one of the family who attained to legal eminence, aml his daughters having mar­ rietl ½ouch aIHl Heyues, it may with confldeuee be applied to him." 12 THE Jl~AM:ILY OF GHKITINE. In addition to their Manor in Boughton, the family owned estates in Norton at a very early pcl'iod. This was a Parish in N mton Ilund1·c1l, in the same County ; its name is said by some authorities to have Leen given li·om its relative position to King's Sutton (i. e., N Ol'th town and Son th town), another portion of the Saxon royal demesne. 'l1110 Greeno prefix was given from its successive lords. "Domes­ day" mentions an extensive wood in this parish, which was 1lonbtless tho origin of Whittle-woml, 01· ,Vhittlebmy forest, a portion of which lingc!'ed till recent times, as "Kingthome vVood." In the reign of Henry V, 1413-22, Thomas Grncne was ,Varden of )Vhittle-wood, for an annual payment of thirty­ three shillings and fourpence at the Feast of St. Michael, and the Lord of the Manor " held it 'in capite of the King by the se1·vicc of lifting· up the right hand toward the King yearly on Christmas Day, in what place soever the King is." The royal claim on Norton was the same lot· centuries as it had been in the days of the Saxon princes. Sir rI1homas, the ,Vanlen, owned lands in Sewclle and Ashby, as well as in Greene's Norton.

In 1353. Sir Henry Greeno, Lord Chief Justice of England in the reign of JTichvard III, bought tho Manor and gave his name to tho village. He was the ancestor of six Sir Thomas Greenes, who suc­ eeccle<l each other in the estate · without i11te1Tup­ tio11, the last one clyi ng in 150(i. rrhe Chief ,Justice was interred in the chmch of his ancestors, at Boughton, as we have seen above.

  • Samuell Gorton Influenced the Development of Quakerism, Or Whether Instead Quakerism Influenced the Development of Gortonism
    SAMUEL GORTON Recently there has been on the internet an influence argument having to do with whether in the 17th Century Samuell Gorton influenced the development of Quakerism, or whether instead Quakerism influenced the development of Gortonism. This argument has evidently been mounted by proud descendants of Gorton and facilitated by genealogists. To track this, you can consider the following three articles: PERUSE A 1934 STUDY PERUSE A 1979 STUDY PERUSE A 1983 STUDY I do not myself find anything which would indicate that Samuell Gorton had any influence whatever over the development of Quakerism. Indeed, the impression which I bring away from this reading is that Mr. Gorton of Warwick, Rhode Island was your usual sort of fundie panjandrum preacherman (a phenomenon with which we of the 21st Century are even now all too familiar), establishing his own little church with his own little flock as the venue within which he might play the role of Supreme Pontiff, as a sort of personality cult: “I listen to the Inward Christ, while you listen to me.” This man was a Reverend Jim Jones character if he was anything — “You need to drink this grape Kool-Aid.” It would amaze me to discover that any Quakers of the 17th Century were interested in reducing themselves to being merely such a man’s camp followers. It would seem to me that it is one of the foundation stones of Quakerism, that we do not embrace such religious leadership — that this is a grape Kool- Aid which we always decline. (Of course, I also consider that it was rather wrongheaded for the Puritans to come down into Rhode Island and arrest him and keep him in leg shackles in Charlestown, and come within a skosh of hanging him.

But once the English merchant companies decided to The Sachem Nanepashemet establish permanent settlements in the early 17th century, Sagamore John - English Puritans who believed the land belonged to their king Wonohaquaham and held a charter from that king empowering them to colonize The Squaw Sachem began arriving to establish the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Local Tradition Sagamore George - For a short time, natives and colonists shared the land. The two Wenepoykin peoples were allies, perhaps uneasy and suspicious, but they Visits to Winchester were people who learned from and helped each other. There Memorials & Relics were kindnesses on both sides, but there were also animosities and acts of violence. Ultimately, since the English leaders wanted to take over the land, co- existence failed. Many sachems (the native leaders), including the chief of what became Winchester, deeded land to the Europeans and their people were forced to leave. Whether they understood the impact of their deeds or not, it is to the sachems of the Massachusetts Bay that Winchester owes its beginning as a colonized community and subsequent town.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT THESE studies of the older real estate ownerships of Beacon Hill were originally- made for the 'Boston Evening Transcript/ and were published by that paper in 1923, 1924 and 1925 as a series of sixteen illustrated articles. In spite of due diligence in the collection of the facts, and notwithstanding painstaking efforts to avoid typo- graphical errors, some inaccuracies of statement were inadvertently included in the original papers. Those papers are here reproduced only after careful revision, partially in the light of subsequent infor- mation, several of the chapters having been re- written or expanded. Without the inspiring and whole-hearted assist- ance given the writer by many recognized authori- ties on various aspects of the problems involved in these researches, the result would have been far less satisfactory. Most appreciative acknowledgment of their aid is therefore made to Julius H. Tuttle, Librarian, and to Worthington C. Ford, Editor, of the Massachusetts Historical Society; to Samuel Eliot Morison, historian, biographer of Harrison Gray Otis; to Walter K. Watkins, high authority on Boston antiquarian lore; to William Sumner Appleton, Corresponding Secretary of the Society ACKNOWLEDGMENT for the Preservation of New England Antiquities; to the late Irwin C.

  • Property, Identity and Place in Seventeenth-Century New England
    Property, Identity and Place in Seventeenth-Century New England A thesis submitted to the School of History of the University of East Anglia in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Elizabeth Jean Southard 26 July 2013 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior, written consent. Abstract This thesis presents a study of the construction and defence of English settler-colonies in New England during the seventeenth century, focusing upon the relationship between ordinary people and their environment. This work initially examines the pre- exploration reports and the first few decades of settlement and how commodification and naming practices helped in translating the landscape into a familiar, useful and, most importantly, English place. This continues in Chapter Two with a study of the distribution and construction of towns, boundaries and familiar patterns of agricultural usage. This patterning reveals how early settlers perceived their world, and how they secured traditional English customs and patterns onto this uncultivated landscape. The final two chapters will examine challenges to this system, from within New England and across the Atlantic. Chapter Three focuses on the challenge of native land rights, which threatened to undermine the initial basis of conquest and discovery as claims to the land. However, this was overcome due the flexibility of narratives of ownership and possession and the addition of native land rights to English property regimes.
