Disputed Associations

Anne Almy has been detached as the spouse of Robert Griffin; and Christopher Griffin has been detached as his father, as there are currently no reliable sources to substantiate those relationships.

Biography

Anne (Almy) Greene immigrated to New England as a child during the Puritan Great Migration (1621-1640).

Anne Almy was baptized 26 Feb 1627 at South Kilworth, Leicestershire, England.[1] (The parish register at South Kilworth begins in 1559. Parish register transcripts, Family History Library British Film 585282, Item 2.) She was the daughter of William Almy and Audrey Barlowe.

Anne died 6 May 1709 as per "Warwick: Ann, Widow of Capt. John Greene, d. Warwick 6 May 1709, aged 82."[2] at Warwick, Rhode Island, and was buried at at Spring Greene Burial Ground, Warwick. Her Find a Grave memorial has a biography, photos and links to those of her parents, husband and children.[1]

Anne immigrated to New England with her parents and two siblings in 1635, aged 8, aboard the Abigail. Refer to the Passenger List of the Abigail 1635.[3]

She married Deputy Governor John Greene [Jr] 1648 at Warwick.[4] Dept. Gov. John Greene referred to "brother" Christopher Almy, Annis' brother, in a letter dated November 5, 1690.[5]

John Greene and Anne Almy had 11 children. (Clarke, Louise Brownell : "Copied from Warwick, R. I., records, 1st Book of Marriages, commenced by James Greene, see No. 5, Town Clerk, May 6, 1664.")[4][6][7]

Research Notes

Unsupported or erroneous Griffin marriage. Her marriage to Griffin was disputed by collaborators, "A marriage to Griffin seems to be a mix-up. That man fathered children beginning in 1739 when Anne was only 11-12 yrs of age.[16]

Based on what's on Robert Griffin-184's profile, I'm detaching Anne Almy as his wife.
