Research Notes
) The following 1887 source has a lengthy write up on John Greene of Warwick, RI, but the marriages and children in this narrative do not match the present lineage shown in Wikitree, and no Daniel Greene in this narrative. Hence this source probably doesn't belong here, but may be useful for earlier generations. Park here for now. Is for John Greene
