The Greene family and its branches : from A.D. 861 to A.D. 1904
As Humility Coggeshall was the foremother of the " Tribe of Benjamin," the largest family of the Greenes, many will wish to know of her line. The family dates back nearly to the Conquest, to a certain Lord de Coggeshall, a noted Crusader. The town of Coggeshall, in the County of Essex, England, perhaps marks the ancestral home. In the oldest records the name is also spelled as Coxsall or Coxall.
Hon. John Coggeshall, the first president of Providence Plantation — equivalent to governor of R. I. — was born in the County of Essex, England) in either 1581 or 1599. He sailed in the ship Lion, and landed in Mass. Sept. 16, 1632, with his wife Mary and three children. In 1638, when IMrs. Anne Hutchinson and her followers were banished from Massachusetts for heresy, he went with the rest to the Island of Aquidneck, which they purchased from the Indians, and where they settled Pocasset (Portsmouth) that same year. Portsmouth became the storm center of Quakerism. One of Hon. John's daughters. Wait, married Daniel Gould. This Daniel Gould, Mary Dyer, the wife of a Portsmouth neighbor, and President Cog- gcshall's own son Joshua, introduced the Friends' doctrine into R. I. Mary Dyer was hung as a " pestilent heretic," while in Mass. preaching. Daniel Gould also passed into that forbidden territory, and "ye 22 of ye 9th month, 1654," was whipped in Boston, receiving 30 lashes from a cat-of-nine-tails.
