Thomas Green

Thomas Green I was born in Bobbing, Kent, England. and married [Martha Malone, born in 1607, in the Netherlands, before 1635 in the Netherlands.] The couple boarded the ship, Speedwell, on 28 May 1635. Before they arrived in the New World they had a son, Thomas Green II, born at sea in 1635. Thomas Green I died in Petersburg, Virginia, after 1635.

Comments

• I’m not sure the Thomas Green who came to Virginia with wife and 2 daughters was on the one who was on the Speedwell in 1635. There was a man called Thomas Green on the ship, age 24 so born 1611, but no indication of a family on board.
• This Speedwell was of London. There are mixups with the Speedwell from the Netherlands, originally slated to accompany the Mayflower to America in 1620. As a result this Thomas Green, or his wife, is sometimes seen as of the Netherlands.
• His wife is seen sometimes as Martha Malone without citation.
• Death seen at FamilySearch as “1670 at Petersburg, Dinwiddie, Virginia, USA.” But Dinwiddie County was not formed until 1752. Petersburg, however, was settled beginning 1635. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersburg,_Virginia#See_also
• ” At this time, I do not know which Thomas this transaction belongs to: (JPS)” On 22 Aug 1668. Wm. Shorte , he moving, sells to Thos. Greene 100 acres of land on the S.E. side of Western Branch of Upper Chippoakes Creek, Patent 7 Jan 1649 to Wm. Shorete . Rec: 4 May 1668.[iii]
