By Henry E. Turner 

This book gives an account of the Greene family and the line of John Greene of Warwick. He was the son of Peter of Auckley Hall, Salisbury, Wiltshire, England.  Green was a surgeon. His first wife, Joan, the mother of his children, died in 1643 in Connecticut, having taken refuge there when the Massachusetts troops, under Captain Cooke, made their raid on the defenseless and inoffensive inhabitants of Warwick - then called Shawomet. As seen from records, we're given the story of why he was fined for speaking contemptuously of magistrates. He died at Warwick in 1658. There were many other families of the Green or Greene name among the first settlers.
