ROGER GREEN is considered by some genealogists to be either the father or uncle of TIMOTHY GREEN. Roger- Green enrolled "Sizar" (meaning he enrolled as a student at reduced fees) at St. Catherine's, Cambridge, Easter of 1631. He received his B.A. 1634--35 and his M.A. 1638, ordained a priest 9 March 1638-39. He is next noted in Nansemond County, Virginia ministering to the inhabitants there. He is credited with founding North Carolina's first settlement in July 1653 on the bank of the Roanoke River, and on the south side of the Chowan and tributary streams. The grant reads as follows: "Upon the petition of Roger Green, Clerk (title applied only to ministers of the Church of England), on behalf of himself and the Inhabitants of Nansemond River, it is ordered by the present Grand Assembly, that 10,000 acres of land be granted unto 100 such persons who shall first seat (settle) on the Moratuck or Roanoke Rivers and the branches thereof---provided that such seaters settle advantageously for security...... that there be granted the said Roger Green the rights of 1,000 acres of land.
(Hening I, p.380) Reverend Roger Green returned to England where on 2 September 1661, he presented a pamphlet to the Lord and Bishop of London, entitled "Virginia's Cure", in order to show the unhappy state of the Church in Virginia and the remedy of it. He was also one who examined into the competency of all ministers of the colony. He officiated at Jamestown, and was still living in 1671.
