William Green, the eldest son of Capt. William and Elizabeth (Wheeler) Green, was born in Malden, 1661. This we learn from his deposition, February 15, 1685-6, where he affirms himself to be "aged about 24 years. He married about 1682, Elizabeth Hills, born 1661, daughter of Joseph Hills, Junior, and granddaughter of Joseph Hills, senior, who died at Newbury, Feb. 5, 1687-8, age 86. This is ascertained from a deed given Nov. 12, 1685, by Joseph Hills to his granddaughter Elizabeth Green wife of William Green, junior, of Malden, and daughter of the grantor's son Joseph Hills, of a parcel of land in Malden. [1]
He lived in Malden; and died march 21, 1690-1 (Midd. Prob. Records.) There is a tradition in the family that he was killed at Dunstable (now Nashua) by the Indians. This is not improbable; but no record has been found to confirm it. [2]
His widow Elizabeth married August 25, 1691, Capt John Lynde, son of Thomas Lynde. This marriage is proved not only by the record of it in Malden, but by the Midd. Probate Records. January 21, 1705-5, William Green gave bond to the judge of probate to pay 9 pounds each to Benjamin Green, Nathaniel Green, Dorothy Lynde, Joanna Lynde, and Mehetable Lynde, all being children of said William Green's mother, Elizabeth Lynde, sometimes called Elizabeth Green, late of Malden, deceased, intestate. [3]
By Elizabeth, his second wife, Captain Lynde had Dorothy, born December 20, 1692; married Jacob Green; Joanna, born February 22, 1696-7; Mehetable, born March 22, 1697-8. Mrs. Elizabeth Lynde, (widow of William Green) died January 29, 1698-9. [4]
