What is the evidence for the parents of William Greene of Woburn, MA?

Question

The narrative, citing sources, claims his origins/parents are not known, but parents are attached to him. What is the source for these parents?

NOTE: This claimed lineage takes us back to The Magna Carta barons, so it would be nice to confirm or debunk this link.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The Great Migration Directory says origins Unknown. And it looks as though everything cited by Anderson has been consulted on the biography.

I've detached parents and put them and the other info above in a disputed origins section.

Please PPP the profile. Thanks.

Thanks, Wayne. I'm not worried about his life post emigration; it's his origins I'm worried about. Thanks.
