About Deacon Timothy Green, Sr.,

Per the Connecticut State Library:

"Timothy Green settled in New London, Connecticut about 1714. He was the second printer in Connecticut. He had six sons, and five of them became printers. ..."

Per Harold Milton Ellis:

" ... Deacon Timothy Green (c. 1679-1757) moved to New London, Connecticut, and founded a prolific race of printers, who conducted presses not only in Connecticut but also elsewhere in New England, and as far south as Annapolis, and Fredericksburg, Virginia.
