Wife of Ebenezer Green Sr., tomb 103, d. same place and time.
She was the daughter of Elijah [poss. once mis-recorded as John?] Adams (1738?-1798), b. in Boston{*}, apparently from his second marriage, intentions only recorded{**} there on 10 Jun 1779, to Hanah Prest [Hannah Priest?] (?-?). Elijah married first, intentions recorded on 26 Feb 1761, to Deborah Arnold (1740-1778), and married ultimately, on 18 Oct 1789, to Judith Bowland (1742?-1798), widow of Nathan Townshend (1737?-1780) of Boston. Judith almost immediately predeceased her husband.
The Greens lived{***} in a house formerly occupied by John Quincy Adams, her second-cousin, before he moved to Washington, D.C. Which time he moved there has not been as clearly remembered, but it is trending towards being as President, versus as Congressman, if the house was owned by the Greens, as ownership of his birthplace was retained by the Adams family, after he first moved there. If unowned by the Greens, then either is still in contention, as a rented Green residence.
* - See the death record of her son, Ebenezer G. Green, who died in Rockport on 12 Sep 1888. That record was incorrectly filed with the state as for 12 Sep 1889. His mother's birthplace, "Boston", looks unclear, as maybe a bleed-through or somehow otherwise added. But it is clear, and not added, in the original, town copy. Both are online, at Ancestry. I believe this is the only place where I find her birthplace specifically named, in official vital records.

*** - This is a personal recollection of Enid Adams (Cole) Woodward, my wife's grandmother, to her family members, of an earlier rememberance to her, presumably by her grandmother, Cora Alice (Green) Cole of Rockport, of the Quincy residence of Cora's grandmother, Mary Ann (Adams) Green. Admittedly this was only as it must have, in turn, been told to Cora, by other members of the Rockport family.
