"Thomas Greene Esqr." Son of Nathaniel Greene 1679–1714 and Anne Gould 1685–1728
195. THOMAS* GREENE "of Boston" (Nathaniel 3, Thomas 2 John 1) was born in Boston, Mass., June 4, 1705. Yale College, 1727. He was a merchant of prominence and a director in the Massachusetts Bank, and was highly respected by his associates.
He married (1st), February 22, 1727, Elizabeth, daughter of John and Sarah (Chandler) Gardiner and great-granddaughter of Lion Gardiner, the first proprietor of Gardiner's Island. It is a tradition of the Isle of Wight (Gardiner's Island) that "Thomas Greene Chaplain to John Gardiner (who had the same pay as the hired men and the keep of his horse extra) ran off with his daughter Elizabeth who was at school in Boston, and married her." She died in Boston, February 3, 1743-4.
He married (2nd), September 6, 1744, Martha, daughter of Dr. John and Mehitable (Chandler) Coit and widow of Daniel Hubbard, born April 1, 1706. She was the great-granddaughter of John Coit, who came from Glamorganshire, Wales, and was the first shipwright of New London, Conn.
The mother of Mrs. Greene is mentioned as " a woman of unusual energy and power, physically and mentally." Family correspondence states that "Thomas & Martha [Coit] Greene owned the first coach in Boston having their Coat of Arms a deer's [buck's] head" (see Chandler Family). Thomas Greene died in Boston, August 5, 1763, and was buried in the family vault at Granary Cemetery, Boston. In compliance with his expressed wish, his children presented Trinity Church, Boston, the same year with a fund, called the "Greene Foundation," for the support of assistant rectors.
We learn from The Greene Family in England and America, recently published by Mr. Frederick Amory of Boston for private distribution, that " this fund was originally 500; but now increased twenty-fold it furnishes a substantial addition to its funds ' ' (see Annals of King's Chapel, vol. i., p. 496, containing engraving of Thomas Greene's autograph); also that Mr. Greene "was long a member of the parish of King's Chapel where he occupied part of pew No 56, previously owned by his mother."
He removed to Trinity Church about 1740. Mr. Greene owned land on Newbury Street (now Washington), Boston, south of West Street, and running back to the Common. There were several houses on this land, one being his mansion house. A plan of the estate is on file in Suffolk Probate Office. It is referred to in his will, dated December 6, 1 761, proved August 6, 1763. The Boston Theatre stands on part of this estate.
