There is a date problem and may be more children, also.  TAG, 1989, Vol 19, pp 141-151, "The MacWithey Family of Connecticut, by Ada R. Chase, of Norwich, Connecticut mentions Mary/Molly McWithey/Withey on p. 145-146; pp 149-150, which refers to clerical errors in Preston records. (See "? mark" at David's entry" from Frank L. Greene's : Descendents of Joseph Greene ..............." pp 157-158.)  This week an experienced "GREENs of Preston, CT"  researcher of Voluntown, CT was making the tour for VRs at City Clerk's Offices and at Churches in both Preston and Griswold -- she reports  discrepancies in dates. Do you know anything about it?  Or would you know anything about these Greens, sons of John, Green, b. 1701, Preston, CT.

James Greene and Sabra Jones married Dec. 1, 1793.
    Children:
    i. Wheeler Clark, b. July 7, 1794.
    ii. Daniel, b. March 22, 1796.
    iii. Sally, b. Nov. 21, 1797.
    iv. Reuben, b. Apr. 11, 1800.

Beriah Greene and Elizabeth Smith married Dec. 31, 1793.
    Beriah Jr., b. March 24, 1795, in Preston, Conn. (This is the Beriah Green referred to in Hollister's )

Below is my line from the above posting.

--John Green
--David Green and Molly Withy (or Wethy)
    --Benajah Greene's children:
        i. William, b. Apr. 8, 1802.
        ii.  Benajah Crary, b. Apr. 7, 1804.
        iii. Archabell, b. May 11, 1806.

I am looking for a Nancy Ann PECKHAM m. Benajah Crary GREENE/Benjamin C. GREENE, son of Benajah Greene (1762-  ) of Preston/Griswold, New London Co., CT.  (Either Benajah Crary Greene or Benjamin C. Greene name could be correct as grandfather was Benjamin Crary m. Amy Stanton.  There is a Benajah Crary as child of Benajah GREENE (1762- ) in Frank Greene's book, "Descendents of Joseph Greene of Westerly, RI.................".  And then
the above  Benjamin C Greene moves from CT to RI with children of a first wife and with a 2nd wife & their children -- found in Census 1850  for the Town of Warwick, Kent Co., Rhode Island in the 1850 (27 August) RI census.  There is a STANTON connection with naming of the children in this Benjamin C. Greene children/grandchildren naming pattern.

Surnames:  CRARY, GREENE, PECKHAM, STANTON.

Thanks for any help    :-)
