About Philippa Greene

  • Parents: Sir Robert de Ferrers b. 31 Oct 1357 or 31 Oct 1359, d. 12 Mar 1413 or 13 Mar 1413 & Margaret le Despencer d. 3 Nov 1415

Children

The source of the children's names was the 1585 King of Arms Greene pedigree, cited in gen. 35. It states that Thomas and Philippa had three sons (Thomas, Anthony and John) and four daughters (Elizabeth wife of "Sir William Rowley of co. Warwick," Joan, wife of John Reading, Isabel, wife of Edmund Cornwall, Margaret, wife of Nicholas Haulte) (printed in The Greene Family of England and America with Pedigrees (Boston, 1901)).

Search of published contempory records has provided as yet the identification of only two children of Thomas and Philippa: Thomas and Isabel.

  1. Sir Thomas Greene Knt. b. 1421 d. 9 Sep 1462. Married Matilda Throckmorton.
  2. Anthony Greene
