Her siblings were:

2. Sarah Greene (abt. 1659–aft. 1725)

Elizabeth married Thomas Abbott (born about 1643 in Norfolk County, Massachusetts Bay Colony; son of Walter Abbott and Sarah (Unknown) Sherburne) on 18 Apr 1663 in Kittery, York, Maine.^[1] Their known children were:

Elizabeth (Green) Abbott was living on 20 May 1707, when she is named in her husband's will.^[3]

Research Notes

The first known child of Thomas and Elizabeth Abbott was born at Kittery on 7 Sep 1664.^[4]

In 1703 Joseph Abbott is recorded as being an occupant in the "Maine Colony" record with no township listed. This information is taken from a derivative secondary source, an index record compilation, and there's no certainty that it's the same Joseph Abbott supposed son of Elizabeth and Thomas.
