Biography

Phoebe Green^[1] was born about 1620, (based on 20 years before her marriage) at an unknown location, but probably England. Her father's name is unknown. Her mother was Margaret (Unknown) Green and her step-father was Samuel Cole.^[2]

She married William Ryall (Royal, Royall),^[1] about 1640. Her migration year has yet to be discovered. Her husband migrated to New England in 1629, first settling at Salem, then Casco, Maine.

By 1643 her husband had a tract of land in Saco, purchase from Sir Ferdinando Gorges. By the words of the conveyance of 1643, Royall had a house already built there on the south side of the river later known as Royall's River in North Yarmouth. They lived there until the summer of 1675 when trouble began with neighboring Indian tribes. They moved to Dorchester, Massachusetts for safety.^[2]
