KATHARINE GREENE AMORY
Mrs. John Amory
John Amory (1728-1803)
The third oldest son of Thomas Amory and Rebecca Holmes, John was born 1728 in Boston. He married Catherine Greene, daughter of Katharine Stanbridge and Rufus Greene, and they had nine children. He was a merchant by trade and was a partner with his brother Jonathan Amory in the merchant house J. & J. Amory (later Amory's and Taylor, and Amory, Taylor and Rogers).
Daughter of Rufus Greene
Rufus Greene (May 30, 1707 - December 31, 1777) was a noted American silversmith, and subsequently a wealthy Loyalist merchant, active in colonial Boston, Massachusetts.
Greene was apprenticed to William Cowell Sr., married Katherine Stanbridge on December 10, 1728, and worked from 1728 to 1749 as a silversmith. His account book notes: "I Began or Sett up my Bisness October the 7:1728 and the Making of the things from that time to January the 1:1732 Came to £1624..6..0." Together with his brother, Benjamin, he gradually expanded his interests as a land speculator and general merchant. By 1749, deeds and contracts identify him as a merchant, though he may have sometimes continued to produce silver pieces. His daughter, Katharine Greene Amory, is known for the journal she kept during the American Revolution.
