The imigrant, John Greene, aided Roger Williams in founding Rhode Island. His son was Liuitenant-Governor, and among his descendants in successive generations were men holding prominent offices - Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, U.S. Senator, Judge of the Supreme Court. Two of them, Major-General Nathanael Greene and Colonel Christopher Greene, achieved great distinction in the army during the War of the Revolution. My father's father, Caleb Greene, was a ship
owner, and in his youth a ship-master; residing in the village of Apponaug in the town of Warwick, and owning several hundred acres which formed part of the large tract which his ancestor, the first John Greene, had purchased from Miantonomoh in 1640. On his lands was a small cotton cloth factory, operated by water-power, one of the first ventures in that branch of manufacturing which has since
become the chief industry of New England. The cotton was brought in Caleb's ships from Baltimore, and on their return voyage they carried cotton cloths and occasionally the anchors and chains which were still made at the iron works
at Coventry, established by Nathanael's Greene's father fifty years before. Caleb also raised such crops, principally corn, oats, hay, and wheat, as his land would produce. He was born in 1772 and died in 1853. Soon after his marriage, in 1795, he built the house in Apponaug, and lived in it until his death. My father was born in this house, in the southwest room on the second floor, on May 6, 1801. He was one of nine children.
