- RESEARCH_NOTES:
1. Per "History and Genealogy of the Families of Old Fairfield," Donald Lines Jacobus, comp. and ed. page 235: "A John Green had a son John b. at New Haven, 26 Dec 1651, but otherwise does not appear in New Haven records. He may be the same whose wife Mary d. at Stamford, 14 Nov. 1657; and who m. there (2) Sep 1658, Martha Finch, presumably widow of John...We suppose him father of Joseph, Benjamin, and perhaps John, of Stamford in the next generaton. Of these, Benjamin had a dau. Sarah bapt. at Fairfield, 10 May 1696."
2. The book "The Early Settlement of Stamford, Connecticut 1641-1700…," by Jeanne Majdalany, p. 163:
"GREEN, John - bc1610, d1693, m1 Mercy (or Mary) Jarvis (d1657), m2 1658 Martha (Brett?) Finch (wd/o John).
John Green's background is uncertain because there were several John Greens who came to America in the early 1630s. He was in New Haven before 1650 and in Stamford by 1654 where he lived on the north side of East Street. He was a shepherd in 1669 and was a constable and a deputy several times. He moved to Bedford, NY in 1680 and died there. His sons Joseph and Benjamin returned to Stamford about 1685. They lived at the east end of town north of the road.
