Please see MEMORIAL ID 17902383 for "Tobacco Ben"
BIRTH 10 NOV 1665 • Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island
DEATH 22 FEB 1757 • Warwick, Kent County, Rhode Island
Son of Thomas Greene 1628–1717 and Elizabeth Barton 1637–1693.

Tribe of Benjamin Greene
Benjamin Greene 2 was the youngest son of Immigrant John Greene b. 1606-d.1695 of Quidnessett and his wife Joan. [ **(Not to be confused with cousin immigrant John 1 "Surgeon" Greene 1585–1659)**]He married Humility Coggeshall. Her grandfather was John Coggeshall, the first President of Providence Plantations, who died in office, Nov. 27, 1648. Her parents were Joshua and Joan West-Coggeshall. Her father, Joshua Coggeshall, together with Mary Dyer, the Martyr, and Daniel Gould, founded the first Friends' Society in Rhode Island. Private records give her birth in 1671, but the official record places it in Jan., 1670. Benjamin Greene's name is frequent in the records. His land joined that of his brother, James Greene, at Quidnessett. He also bought part of his brother Edward's estate, and seems to have owned considerable real estate beside. In 1704-5 he was involved in lawsuits over this land. The next year he sold out and moved to East Greenwich, where he died early in 1719—not in 1716, as some have it. He helped to lay out the Path Road, that followed the old Pequot Indian trail from the Bay.
Benjamin and Humility had 12 children, having five sons in succession, and then seven daughters. Caleb died in 1727, and there are only birth records of Sarah and Dinah; Mary married Thomas Spencer; Catherine married her cousin, Daniel Greene 3 of North Kingstown; Ann married Daniel Tennant; Phebe married Thomas Wells of Westerley; and Deborah married William Reynolds of East Greenwich.
This leaves the lines of four sons, John, Benjamin, Henry and Joshua. Four things are noticeable of this confederation of families: (1) Their numbers. (2) The many soldiers sent to the French-and-Indian and Revolutionary Wars. (3) Their, religious bias, by which a great majority became Seventh-Day Baptists. (4) The overflow of the middle generation to New York State, and of the later generations to Minnesota and other western states.
