Notes - Chapter 1 The History of Levi Greene and his Descendants by Mary Shaw Green. Little is known of the early life of Elder Timothy Green. He was born in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, June 14, 1725. He probably spent his early days on his Father's large Farm in West Greenwich. September 1, 1763, he was ordained as pastor of the famous Maple Root Six Principle Baptist Church, being the first pastor and continuing his work until 1770. This Church of Coventry is situated about two miles west of the Village of Washington and about one and one third miles from the Old Field Cemetery at the foot of Harkney Hill on the old Farm of Lieutenant John Greene*, where several generations of Greene's lie sleeping. His fame as a pastor continues to this day. (1955) He was married by Reverend James Colvin to Mrs. Silence (Rowland) Burlingame of Scituate, Massachusetts, in West Greenwich, Rhode Island, on September 22, 1751. He resided mostly in Coventry. In 1770 he moved to the westward, probably to Lanesboro, Berkshire, Massachusetts, where we find record of his living in 1775. He died about 1780. In a letter written by Jonathan and Molly (Greene) Joice September 3, 1813, from Middleburg, New York, USA, to Levi and Asenath (Robinson) Greene at Scipio, New York, USA, they say: "Old Mother Greene was alive last spring and lived with Pealeg. She is almost helpless. " This is Timothy's Wife and is the nearest knowledge we have to the time of her death.
*Silence (Rowland) Burlingame-Greene was said to have been of noble birth and to have had much property of which she was deprived. She was said to have owned at one time nearly all of Marblehead, Massachusetts. *See "American Ancestry, " Vol. 5 Page 91.
