  Father	Greene, Elder Timothy,   b. 14 Jun 1725, West Greenwich, Rhode Island d. Aft 1790 (Age 65 years)
  Mother	Rowland (Rouland) Burlingame, Silence,   b. 17 Jul 1729, Dighton, Bristol, Massachusetts d. 1813 (Age 83 years)
  Marriage	22 Sep 1751	West Greenwich, Rhode Island   [3]
  	Mary Shaw Greene wrote that Silence was a widow from Scituate, Massachusetts without evidence. Arnold's entry for the marriage reads [Greene] "Timothy, of W. Greenwich, and Silence Burlingame, widow, of Scituate; m. at Coventry by Elder James Colvin, Sept, 22 1751". The fact that Scituate is not specifically said to be in Massachusetts, suggests that Silence was from Scituate, Providence County, Rhode Island, as other states are commonly named in these records. [3, 4]
  Notes	A record of the births in the Greene family is given in the following, which is a transcription of a copy of a note written by Sarah Mallory Baker, who had copied the original record. In her note Sarah Baker states explicitly that Huldah was the daughter of Elder Timothy Greene. Sarah personally knew Huldah. Mrs. Percy Barker copied Sarah's note and sent it to Maud Martin Latham via Eva Sowden in 1956. My comments in [ ]. Sarah's note said: "Elder Timothy Green & Silence Rowland marriage September y 21 day 1751 old stile, also their death old stile Timothy Green born June y 14 day 1725 week 2 day between 12 & 1 in the afternoon Silence Green born July ye 17 Day 1729 week y 5 Day old stile [i.e. Silence Rowland Burlingame] [Burlingame written in the margin and tied to Roulen, who was her son by her first marriage.] Roulen her first born March y 1 Day 1749 week 4 day between 9 & 10 at night - 3 Peleg Green born ye April 15 Day 1752 week ye 4 day between 6 & 7 in the afternoon Enfield born May ye 15 Day 1754 weeks & Days half after 3 Monde morning Huldah born ye December 20 Day 1757 3 week 2 days 9 at night Levi born ye 6 d 1759 week 3 days between 2 & 3 in the afternoon - 3 Mary born May ye 5 Day 1760 week y 2 day 3 in the morning [she was called Molly written in the left margin] Silence born April 14th day 1762 ye 4 Day ye 9 at night Rowland born April 2 Day 1766 week 7 day half After 10 in the morning Elderlatte [Elizabeth] the first-born May ye 9 Day 1768 week 1 Day Dyed September 5 1769 Elisabath the second born March ye 25 1771 - weeks the 4 Day 4 in the morning. This is a true copy from an old record as exact as I could possibly make it - I have endeavored to preserve the quaint old manner of the orthography of a hundred and twenty years ago.

• Notes

  Mary Shaw Greene wrote that Elizabeth married _____ Fisk. [1] Elizabeth was described in Fiske and Fisk Family as "the daughter of a Baptist clergyman who lived in Cheshire, Mass. near a place once called Muddy Brook". That clergyman was doubtless Elder Timothy Greene. Part of Lanesborough was incorporated into Cheshire when the latter was formed. [2] Some authors have written that Elizabeth married Peleg Wightman and is buried in the Carpenter-Wightman Lot in Warwick, R.I. (aka Rhode Island Historical Cemetery Warwick #112). However, the Elizabeth Greene who married Peleg Wightman was the daughter of John Greene, not Timothy. [1, 5, 6, 7]
