Biography

Jane Greene was born about 1616. [1] She was the daughter of John Greene of Milton, Somerset, England and his wife Cecily Walrond.

She married Capt. William Pole, Gent., and "they had five sons, John, Thophilus, Timothy, Nanthaniel, and William, and two daughters, Mary (wife of Capt. Daniel Henchman) and Bethesda (wife of John Fyler)".

The family immigrated to New England in 1637 and settled in Taunton, Massachusetts. They were founders of the town, with William's sister Elizabeth Pole, (and others). [2]

The family removed after 1639 to Dorchester, Massachusetts, "where William was a clerk of the writs and schoolmaster".

William died at Dorchester February of 1674/5.

"Jane left a will dated 29 August 1690, proved 25 June 1691."

April would you please check this line for completeness? I believe we have a Magna Carta connection now from William Malet to William Pole (Poole).

Thanks, Doug
