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.

The estate then passed to the crown, but was restored to the blood by a grant from Edward VI, in 1550, who gave it to "mine honest uncle," Katharine's brother, Thomas Parr. Henry VIII, also, had a high regard for his brother-in-law, whom he called "his integrity." After the death of Eel wnrd, and the second mar riage of the late Queen, Thomas foll into disfavor with Mary, but Elizabeth restored a part of his 14 THE FAMILY OF GREENE. honon;; he was Marqnis of Northampton nn<1 n Knight of' the Garter. Tradition Rays that Kath arine was born at GI'ecne's Norton, and that she and her brother were buried there. On the death of the ]atte1·, in 1570, without children, the estate again rnverted to the crown, arn1 hns Rincc been held by various gentlemen. The. parish chui·ch is dedicated to St. Bartholo mew, althongh one writer states that it was anciently called St. Lawrence's. It stands on rising gl'onnd at the enst ernl of the village, and eonsiRts of a tow('J' containing five bells, which is surmounted by a lofty, plain spire, a nave, north and sonth aisles nnd south porch, and a lleep chancel. The aisles are lighted by nnifonn windows of fomtecnth century gothic, having tlmie lights nncl two q11atrd'oih, below th1·et• elongnted trefoils in the arch. r.rbe chanecl is of an cadier period, and has on the south two correspond ing windows, double lnncet, conjoined by separate dl'ipstoncs; and in the intel'iOI' a slernlel', eil'enlal' shaft runs up the centre between the two lights. The cast window is more modern, and has been de spoiled of its tracc1·y. r.rhe towe1· is thit-tecn feet seven inehcs long, and a tl'ific ovel' ton feet wide. rn10 nave arnl aisles al'o upwnr1ls of' r,;ixty feet in 'l'IIJi] l<'AMIL Y OF GREENJD. 15 length, with a total width of nearly forty-eight feet. rrlic chancel is half as long as the church, and 1s a little more than nineteen feet in width. ~rlw interior of the church was "heantificcl" m 182G, when it was paved and pewcd; it was pre viously rich in monnments of the Greene family, - some of which had been displaced and others injured during the vicissitudes of changing creeds, or by the hand of time; hut of mm,t of these little more than fragments now exist. Happily, however, four of them were described, with engravings, in a very rare volume entitled "Ilalstead's Genealogies," printed in 1085, ancl these engravings have hcen reproduced, with the inscription on the momimcnts, by Baker. rl111is wanton and reckless disregard of the most ap propriate and interesting memorials cannot be too strnngly deprecated. It is gratifying to find tbat Mr. G illwrt ]PJesher, of r11owceste1·, remonstrated against the vandalism at the time, and the Rev. R. B. Exton, then the resident clergyman, attempted to defend the action of the parochial authorities. The correspondence may be found in the "Gentleman's Magazine," 182G. From a companson of descriptions by different authorities some idea of the ancient interior may be IG 'l'IIlll l•'Al\HLY OF GRllll~Nlll. gained. It appears that the nave was dividccl from each aisle by two very lofty pointed archcR, on octagonal pillars with capitals of plain mouldings, and from the clrnncel by a similar 1wch. The nave now includes on each side, eastward, an arch of less altitude, formerly opening into chapels at the cnl'it encl of the aisles, whieh, as well as the chancel, were once inclosccl by a handsome screen, sttetehing across the edifice from north to south, but removed when the pl'Csent pews were erodecl. A pisc1ina arnl two hraelrntH remain nt the (\l\i:,1, end of' tho 1101·th ai1-:IP, and another, with three brackets, at the cast encl of the south aisle. r1._111e present chancel is a ·mere con tinuation of the nave, without any division or dis tinction. At tho wost crnl of the rnwe, on a mo(lcl'll base, iti the hason of a baptismal font of tho twelfth cc11tlll'y; it is circular, bordered with a batehc(1 moulding, and in headed lozenge compartments, caeh interstice filled with a flower.

It lies in the most northom extremity of the County, near the borders of ""\Vilts and Som erset. 'rho c.:ountry consists chiefly of pasture for gra:{;ing and tho dairies, aud the parish ·was for medy noted fot· tho linen woven there. Its name il:i derived from the Anglo-Saxon, Gyllan, which comes from a root denoting a mountain torrent, 01· a 1,;tream with stoop banks, - in which sense tho word is i;till used in 1V cstmorela]l(l, - and which may pcrhap1,; allude to the head waters of the river Stom·, whieh risL'S in tho hills in ""\Vilts, near the border, flows 1,;outhwanl thrnngh the pat·i8h, aml, after uniting with the Av 011, Ji nd8 its outlet in the 8outlnvc8tem 'l'HE FAMILY OF GREENE, 25 part of llants, thrnugh Christchurch Bay, on the English Channel. ':l1he Saxon root alRo signifies the rustling leaves of a forest in windy weather, and some antiquaries have thought that in the name there may Le an allu sion to Selwooc1 :U\>rest, which in the Saxon period was quite extensive, covering a large part of the parish, and extern.ling also into the adjoining coun ties ; this was a favorite resort of the Saxon princes. Tu the time of Edward I, arnl prolrnLiy much earlier, it was a "royal demesne wood." About half a mile from the parish church there are still to Le seen t1·accs of an ancient hnnting-lodg(', 01· "palace," as it was called Ly local histot·ians, but not a stone remains of the old building. Herc Kiug Henry I dated one of the Charters which he gave to the Cathedral of Lincoln in 1132 ; later, King John repaired the buildings, and in 1270 Edward I spent the Christmas-tide here, with feast aml revels. Parts of this forest were leased in the time of Charles I, ancl the lessee was obliged to keep it ::;tockcll with !'our htuull'ed deer for the 1·ecreatio11 of the king: the herd gradually dwindled, but a fow straggler::; were left in the fifth year of that mon arch'::; reign, when the wood was "de-afforested," 26 THE FAMILY OF U-REENE. and portions allotted to the gentlemen and com moners who lived on its borders, much to the dis satisfaction of the people of the neighbol'l1ood, who had for centuries possessed certain rights therein. Disorderly bands threw down the fences arn1 filled up the ditches by which the grantees had sought to protect thei1· possessions. Even the mm,sengers of tho king were assaulted, but the royal privileges were finally enforced and the rioters punished. A letter has recently come to light, written by Richard Greeno, of Gillingham, and soalecl with his armorial device, dated 2H March, 1G51,* concerning a part of this forest, eighty acres of which were held for the use of tho poor of one of the hamlets in the parish.

'l'HE FAMILY OF GREENE. 41 On the othel' hand, some who have stmliccl the proceedings of Massachusetts find in J olm (-hecnc ancl his companions "that stnrdy spil'it of freedom which burned in the breasts of so many of om· an cestol's;" in the !'eply of G1·ee11e to the Legislatme of the Bay, whel'ein he charged them with "usmp ing the power of Christ over the churches and men's consciences," is discovered one of the earliest assertions ".of entire and absolute freedom of opin ion, in defiance of either secular m· ecclesiastical authority." So far as the questions at issue were theological, they involved powers which the MnssachnsettR clcl'gy hatl al ways exercised with little 01· no restraint. Opinions which differCll from their own they regarded as the rankest heresy; religious toleration was un known: on the contrary, the people of the Bay, m; Chief Justice Story says, "not only tolerated the civil power in the suppression of hel'esy, but they demanlkd and enjoined it." Against this doctrine Greene and his companions strenuously prntestcd. Not only theological but political questions were involved. The claim to the Narraganset country was :i disputed one. GI'eeuc and his associates held title by the dec!l of Shawomet to Miautonomoh, of Jann- 42 'l'HE l!'Al\1ILY OF GREENE. ary 12, 1642; that of Massachusetts was founded on a vote of the Commissioners of the United Colonies, which recognized the title to be in Plymouth, but authorized Massachusetts to accept it, in case P1y month refused it, which she did. ':I.1hereupon the authorities of the Bay attempted to dl'ive away their obnoxious neighbors and break up their settlement by force of arms. Greene and his friends regarded this course as tyrannical and a usurpation, and re sisted it. ~I1ho dispute eontinncd for near half a. century, during which period Rhode Island claimed the territory was hers by Charter, and ConnecLieut, by right of conquest. In the end it became a part of Rhode Island. ~Ph rough the entire struggle "the name of ~fohn Greene appears as the urnleviating champion of the rights of tho latter Colony," for the son of the emigrant, who bore his father's name, followed in his footsteps.

'I.'HJ Samuel Gorton, the father-in-law of Poter Greene, came to Boston in 1G36; he was a resident, for a time, at Plymouth, and afterwards m Rhode Island. Like ~f ohn Greene of 1Varwick, with whom he was dosely associated during Uw troul>lous times of that settlement, he was severely condemned Ly the authorities of the Bay Colony for his attitude. Johnson, one of the Massachusetts Commissioners who visited \Vanvick, ealls Uorton "the 1·ingleade1· uf the ront," all(l assails him with very emphatic not to say vituperative language. Referring to a paper signed by Gorton and his friends, in which their leader had not hesitated to apply crp1ally abusive epithd8 1.o hi1, adversaries, Johnson, who seems to have regarded Gorton m; an Hl'(•h heretic, piom,ly writes: "Getting into favor again with those who had formerly whipped him out of their co111pa11y, he turns devil himself.

'Jllicy were marched to Bos ton in chai11s, and the same writer tells us, it was only by two votes that they escaped the penalty of death. John Greene's name does not appear among "the captives of Capt.

A. The issue of this marriage was three sons and a daughter. He married (3) July 3, 1800, in St. George's Church, London, England, Elizabeth Clarke, daugh ter of John Singleton Copley, and sister of tTolm, afterward Bat·on Lyndhurst, and thrice Lord Chan cellor of England; her mother was Susannah Parmnn, daughter of Richard Clarke, the merchant to whom was consigned the tea destroyed in Boston by the famous tea-party. Elizabeth Clarke Copley was born November 20, 1770, in Boston, and was baptized in Trinity Church, Boston, December 9, 1770; she died February 1, 18G6, in Boston. Her father removed to London with his family in 177G, aud was soon after elected a Royal Academician. Mr. Greene spent a number of years in Demerara, South America, where three of his children were born. It was while in London, whither he had gone to sell his Demerara plantation, that he met Miss Copley. On returning to Boston he purchased an THE FAMILY OF GREENE. 57 estate on what was afterwards Pemberton Square. rrhe following account of this property and its en vironment is based in part on investigations made in 1886 by the Hon. Francis C. Lowell, now Jndge of the United States District Court, all(l partly on a paper by Mr. Estes Howes, printed in the Proceed ings of the Massachusetts Historical Society:* More than a (1narter of the town of Boston, as it existed a humlred years ago, was covered by Beacon Hill. rrhis was so much larger than either Copps Hill or Fort Hill, that in some views of Boston they disappear altogether, while Beacon Hill seems · to fill up the peninsula. It was divided into three principal crests, the· highest in the centre, on which the beacon stood, with Mount Vernon to the west and Cotton Hill to the east. vVhat was then the central crest, or Beacon Hill proper, is now cro8secl lJy 'l\@ple Street. It was a steep, conical hill, roumlecl at the top, aud rather higher than the roof of the present State House. From this point the laml fell a way abmptly toward Bowdoin and Bulfinch Streets, so that a piece of * Second Series, Vol. I: pp. 312-32G, where some further particulars will be fouml. 58 'l'HE PAJ\HL Y OP GREENE, land between Bulfinch and Somerset Streets, extend ing a little farther to the eastward, was called Y alley Acre. From Valley Acre eastwanl rose Cotton Hill. Upon it there appear to have been three small crests,- one where the summer-house of ~fr. Ebenezer Francis stood, another on the Greene estate, with a small valley between the two, and probably a third on the adjoining Phillips estate. Cotton Hill was, therefore, a short ridge nearly par allel to Somerset Street, with an nbrnpt descent toward Trnmont Sti·ect and rrrcmont Row, arn1 a somewhat gentler tloscout toward .Bowdoin Square. Approaching from the east, we should find Tremont Row (then called Tremont Street) considerably highet· than it now is, and rising from Howard Street (formerly Southack's Court) toward what is now the east entt·ancc of Pemberton Square. Dr. Shnrtleff's estate was lower than Mr. Lloyd's, which, in turn, was lower than Mr. Greene's. l\ir. Greene's mansion house stoo THJJ: FA:HILY OF GREENE. 59 the enclosure* in Pemberton Square has been cnt clown about fifty-five feet. The Francis summer house is saicl to have been seventy feet above the present le-vel of the land on which it stood. From the crest of the hill the Green estate descended to ward Somerset Street, where a cutting, some twenty feet deep, had been made when the street was laid out in 1801. At the beginning of this century, the steep sides of the hill were nearly bare of trees, al though several large English elms upon the very top of the hill served as landmarks to vessels entering the harhor. At the bottom of the hill, near the house, there were doubtless many trees. The gar dens seem to have been laid out, aml the terraces built, by Mr. Greene. In the Book of Possessions, compiled soon after the settlement of Boston, the larger part of the Greene estate is set down as belonging to the Rev. John Cotton, second pastor of tho lfi1·st Church. 'l1he so-called ,vak1o estate then belonged to Daniel Maud, while the land behind Mr. Greene's garden, the southernmost part of his estate, belonged to Richard Belli11gham. Mr. Cotton's lot extended ·* This onclosnre wits thrown into the Square whon the now Court House was built. 60 THE FAMILY 01?

Mr. Cotton cliecl in 1653, arnl his estate, after being divided and passing through several hands, was united in 1682 in the possession of John Hull, mint master, and coiner of the "Pine Tree Shillings." Hull died a year later, and the premises passed to his daughter Hannah, first wife of Samuel Sewall, Chief ;Justice of tho Supreme Com·t or the Provineo. In 1697 SewaU bought about half an acre of the Bel lingham lot, and tho estate took the bonnclaries which it had in l\fr. Greene's day, except that it extended farther to the westward, across what is now Somerset Street, and except for the Mand-Waldo lot, bought in 1824, which ]\fr. Greene never treated as part of his homestead. Tn 1G8J ,Tnclgc Sewall asked the G(.moral Court for leave to build a small wooden porch about seven feet square, in order to break the wind from the " fore-door" of his " house on Cotton Hill," which stood exposed and at a distance from other houses. * This building is now occupied by Boston University. 'l'UE FAJ\IIL Y OF GHl~ENE. Gl His petition was granted. In 1G88 the ,Judge was approached by the Rev. Mr. Ratcliff (aftcnvanls Rector of King's Chapel) and Cnptain Davis, and was asked to sell them a piece of land for a church lot. Ile refused sternly, both because the land had once belonged to John Cotton, and also because he "would not set up what the people of New England came over to avoid." "In after discourse," he con tiimes, "I mentioned chiefly the crossing baptism and holy clays." The Judge walked often on the top of Cotton Hill, and when, in 1mm, Lor(l Bellomont came out to the Province as Governor, Judge Sewall invited his lady to look at tl1e town at sunset .from this spot, which was then no <1oubt the best point of view. As they came clown again through the gate, the old Puritan gallantly begged her to let him call it Bellomont gate for the future. ']]ie lady graciously assented. Sewall improved the estate in sevcrnl ways. rrhere were other houses standing npcin it, which he let to Mr. Hirst, Obauial1 Gore and others, and he took great pains that ~Ir. Leblond, or Lebloom, who then owned what was later callet1 the ,Valdo house, should not wrongfully open a window upon his (Sewall's) premises. 62 THE FAMILY OF GHEENJ~. On Sewall's death, in 1720, this estate passed to his daughter Judith, wife of the Rev. William Cooper, pastor of the Brattle Street Church. In 1733, while digging in Mr. Cooper's garden, the workmen threw np a considerable nnmbe!' of human bones ; and this recalls the fact that one of the ]\fathers mentions that the hill was sometimes called Golgotha, probably from a similar circumstance which happened earlier. Cmiously enough, when the hill was dug down in 1835, it was found that the cellar of one of the houses upon it had been used as a family lml'ial vault. About 1758 Judith Cooper's heirs sold the prop erty to 1Villiam Vassall, a relative of that Vassall who built the well-known Crnigie-Longfellow honse in Cambridge. At this time there were thl'eo (]well ing houses on the laud - one where the Vassall Greene honse stood, one on the site of the stable, and a third behind tho last. Directly south of the mansion house, behind the ,Valdo house, was a garden. Soon after his purchase, it seems that Mr. Vassall tore down all the houses on the estate, and built of wood the house which is shown in the pictme. Ilcl'e he lived, no doubt in great state. Uc was a royal- THE FAMILY OF GREENE. 63 ist, and, in 1775, he entertained in his house Earl Percy, when tbe latter was in Boston at the time of the battle of Lexington. He was a refugee, and, after the peace in 1790, his estate was sold to Patrick ,foffi·cy, uncle ol' F'rancis tTeffrny, a.1Hl bro1.hc1·-in-law of John Wilkes. Like Mr. Y assall, Mr. Jeffrey lived in handsome style. In 1801 he sold a strip of land to the city of Bos ton for Somerset Street, and thus separated the smaller western portion of his estate from the larger eastern part. On November 20, 1802, he sold this last to J onuthan Mason for thirty-six thousand dol lars. On April 2, 1803, Mr. Mason conveyed it to Mr. Gat·dincr Greene, with the mansion house and brick stable thereon, the consideration being forty one thousand dollars. Of this estate in Mr. Greene's day, Mr. Bowditch says: "The house had no J'emark able architectural pretensions of any kind, but the naturnl hcautirn-; ol' Urn 8ite, imprnvctl l>y taste and art, made it altogether the mo8t splen(fol private resi dence in the city." 1\1:r.

It is supposed that the famous gingko tree was nmong them. f_l-:'hese gardens, either in whole 01· in great part, were laid ont by Mr. Greene.

Uc died, without issue, in Boston, October J,1, 1SG2; he married, May 31, 1826, Margaret :Morton, claughtcr of Josiah Quincy. He graduated at Harvard in 1812 ; after leaving the University he bet'.ame a, student at law in Litchfield, Conn., and entered on the practice of his profession, which, how- 76 THE FAMILY OF GREENE. ever, he soon relinquished for that of medicine. Passing four ycm·s abroad, he travelled extensively in Europe, and completed his studies in the schools of Paris, and of Edinburgh where he received the degree of M. D., in 1821. Attracted by scientific pmsnits, he was highly appreciated as a botanist, and became the intimate friend and correspondent of Sir "'\Villiam Hooker and other men of distinguished attainments. He was a liberal contrilmtor to the Roston Society of Natmal History, of which he was one of the foumlcrs, and was its first President; and his valu able library, uncommonly rich in scientific works, was ever open to the researches of his assoeiatcs. The American Academy of Arts and Sciences, of which he was a member, in a notice of his clenth, rnl'cl' to his labol's in the botanical section of that Society, and particnlarly to his " choice botanical library and valuable hcrbarium, especially rich in authenticated specimens ancl in standard North American collections. . . . rro secure their con tinued usefulness, these were at length, by gin and by bequest, consigned to the Boston Society of Natural History, to which, besides, he bequeathed a large legacy [ten thousand dollars] in money.... THE FAMILY OF GREENE. 77 Eminently kind and disinterested, if he gave no thought to secure for himself a scientific reputation, he should all the more be remembered for the wise and considerate liberality through which he sought to promote the investigations of others 111 a chosen department of natural history." Mr. Greene's learning as a botanist was every where recognized by his fellow scientists; a note from Prof. Asa Gray, to Mrs. \V:tiel'ston, says: Mr. Nuttall, in his exploration inLo Arkansas many years ago, discovered a species of grass, a description of which he published in 1834, " under the name of ' Greenia Arkansana,' in honor of B. D. Greene." In the same year Drs. Wight ::iHl Arnott, the latter a [riewl of Mr. Greene's, in thoir "Flom of Lho l 1e11i11s11h of India," published anoLhcr genus Ureenia, from Dr. WighL's Indian cullccLious, which, they remark, we have named in honor of B. D. Greene, of Boston. It thus happened that two different plants were named for Mr. Greene, in opposite parts of the world, at the same time. But its from calculation the Indian plant is a little earlier, it takes precedence with botanists. From an appreciative tribute to his memory, which appeared a few days after his death, the following is taken: The strength and depth of feeling which marked his character were combined with a peculiar delicacy and ten- 78 'l'ITE :FAMILY OF GREENE. derness of manner. Though habitually silent and reserved in conversation, his words told when uttered. Shrewdness of observation all(l keen diseemment pointecl his remarks, a11d caused them to be long recollected.

THE FAJ\UL"Y OF GREENE. 85 Mr. Greene graduated at Harvard in the class of 1828, among his classmates being the Ho11. Robert C. ,vinthrop, Chief-Justice Gilchrist, of Now Hamp shire, and Dr. Henry I. Bowditch. He took his Mas ter's degree in course, and received the honorary degree of A. M. from Racine, in 1854. After grad uation he studied medicine, taking his degree in 18Bl, and was a member of ,the Massachusetts Medi- cal Society. Some years later he entered the min istry, and was ordained January 15, 1855, by Bishop Eastburn; he was in charge of parishes in ,v altham and Newton, and was afterwards Secretary of the Massachusetts Church Missionary Society. His foiling health finally obliged him to 'relinquish active duties, bnt his interest in tho work of the Church was unfailing to the last. His funeral was held in St. Paul's Clmrcl1, Brookline, on 'I1nesday, July 9, 1872, and was conducted by the Rt. Rev. Manton Eastburn, D. D., Bishop of the Diocese of :Massachusetts, who was assisted by the Rev. \V. 1V. Newton, the rector, and the Rev. Dr. Stone, a former rel'tor of the parish. It 1s interesting to observe that in his official report to the Diocese, the last entry made by Bishop Eastburn before his own death was an affectionate tribute to the character of 86 THE FAl\IILY OF GREENE. his friend, with whom he had Jong been on the most intimate relations.

From the fact that other families of the name bore the same (lcvice,- occasiona11y with what is 'l'IIE FAMILY AHl\IS. 12H eallcd in heraldry a "difference,"- it has been sug gested that these families were derived from a com mon ancestor, who used the arms at an earlier period; but it would be impossible, at the present dny, to establish this theory as a fact. The Greencs of vVarwickshirc, as the Harleian MS. No. 1167 shows, bore "azure, three stags trip pant, ,vithin a bordure or." The same device with out the bordu1·e, but with a mnllet for difference, was eonllnned to Sir \Villiam Greene of 0xfordshirc, in 1613, by Camden, 0larencenx king-of-arms. Bmke gives the arms of Greene of Greene's Norton, as described above ; and other authorities might he cited, showing their use in different pnrtH of the kingdo1n. The arms of Robert Greene of Gillingham, in 1545, as recorded at the Heralds' College in Eng land, are identical with those of the GTcencs of Oreenc's Norton; and that they were used by the Gillingham branch is further cstaLlishcd by the seal, having this device, on the letter quoted on pages 27 and 28, sitpra, written in 1G51 by Richard G1·eene of that parish, who was probably a son of Peter Greene of Bowridge, and a nephew of John "the chirur geon," who carne to New Englaml. 130 'l'HE F AJ\fIL Y ARl\IS. The crest ns used by the descendants of John is a buck's head, couped, or. This crest, often called a stag's head, sometimes "couped," that is, terminating m a straight line, and sometimes " erased," or as if tom off, with a raggccl edge, hns for centuries been borne with these arms in England, and by the de scendants of the G reenes of Gillingham, in America. This long-continued use by the latter family has numerous instances both on tombstones, on silver, aml in early hook plates. INDEX. INDEX.

At the suggestion of Bishop Doane the foregoing chart has been printed, which should he placed after the other pedigrees in that volume, and which gives four generations of the descendants of LUCRETIA GREENE, who ma,rried John Callahan. An error of assignment of one of the plates was discovered after the volumes had been distrihuted. The picture facing page 39 should have been given as the Rectory at G1·eene's Norton instead of Gillinyltani. [A.J GREENE OF BOUGHTON AND GREENE'S NORTON.
