Henry resided in that part of Charlestown which in 1725 was incorporated as Stoneham. Jan. 30, 1718-19, for £760 “of passible money,” he sold to his brother Daniel Green of Maiden, 64 acres land in Charlestown, “with the houseings and buildings,’ &c., also 9 acres woodland in Charlestown; also 11 1/2 acres upland and meadow in Maiden, and 6 acres salt marsh in Charlestown. [Midd. Deeds, 20 : 371.] Soon after, he seems to have removed thence to Connecticut. Rev. Jacob Green, in 1746, on a tour from Hanover, N.J., to New England, visited Henry Green in Killingly, who was doubtless his cousin, below. Henry is mentioned in his mother's Will, May, 1740, as then living. He probably died not long after.
On 9 Jan 1695 Henry married Hannah Flagg (16592) , daughter of Lieut. Gershom Flagg (6138) (16 Apr 1641-6 Jul 1690) & Hannah Leffingwell (6 Jan 1646-29 Mar 1724), in Woburn, MA.124 Born on 12 Mar 1675 in Woburn, MA.124 Hannah died in Killingly, CT, on 29 Mar 1724; she was 49.

Daniel lived in Maiden till about 1719, and his children’s births till that time are recorded in that town. January 30, 1718-19, he bought the farm of his eldest brother Henry, in Stoneham, and went to reside upon it. He was in Stoneham at the incorporation of that town in 1725, and was an active and influential citizen; a man of probity and worth. He was often chosen to town offices and on important committees; selectman 1728, 1729, 1730, 1731, 1733, 1734, 1735, 1746, 1749.

John White of Cape Anne, [Gloucester,] with the assistance of the ruling elders of that church. From this time till his death, the subject of this paragraph was known on the records and among his fellow citizens as “Elder Daniel Green;” and so he is designated on his gravestone.
He died Aug. 15, 1759, “in ye 79 Year of his age.” [Gravestone.] His Will is dated Jan. 1, 1754; proved Sept. 3, 1759; recorded Midd. Prob., 23 : 203.

John lived in Malden, and seems to have been of a sedate, contemplative turn of mind. He had a fondness for preserving a record of passing events; would that such a practice had been more common in this and other families! His book of memorabilia, called by himself “Jacob Green, his Writing Book,” is still preserved. It is a small leather-bound volume, 3 1/2 by 6 inches, containing about 140 pages. It is mostly in the hand-writing of Jacob, but partly in that of his son, Rev. Jacob. The compiler of these sketches has derived much aid from these memoranda, a copy of which was kindly furnished by Ashbel Green, Esq., of New York city, one of the many descendants of this branch. In this volume are found records of the town meetings, of births, marriages, and deaths, of admissions to the church, etc., all of which have been found to have a remarkable correspondence with official records, so far as any verification has been attempted.
He died July 19, 1723, aged “34 years and 10 weeks.” [Gravestone.] After his death, his widow Dorothy married John Barrett, b. 1675, son of James and Dorcas (Green) Barrett, and with him removed to Killingly, Ct., where she died Dec. 17, 1740, “aged 48 years wanting three days.” John Barrett died Feb. 3, 1740-1.
On 8 Jul 1713 when Jacob was 24, he married Dorothy Lynde, daughter of Capt. John Lynde (ca 1648-17 Sep 1723) & Elizabeth Hills (ca 1661-29 Jan 1698/9), in Malden, MA.215 Born on 20 Dec 1692 in Malden, MA.215 Dorothy died in Killingly, CT, on 17 Dec 1740; she was 47.215
From the Descendants of Thomas Green(e):215
All the four daughters were alive and well in May, 1758, as appears from an original letter from Dorothy and her second husband of that date, addressed to Rev. Jacob Green. Rev. Jacob, says in his Diary, under date of May 22, 1744, being then a member of Harvard College, “Heard of my brother’s death.” This must .have been his brother Joseph, and as he attended no funeral, Joseph, then 20 years old, must have died at a distance.
