    JEMIMA V.B. m. at Fishkill church, Mar. 23, 1800, Oliver Greene b. Sep. 22, 1769, in Westchester Co., N. Y. ; a near relative to Gen. Nath. Greene. They were farmers and lived on Van Benschoten Hill in the town of La Grange, Duchess Co., on a farm which her father had given Jemima and which later became Phillip Van Benschoten's. Oliver Greene was possessed of a farm of his own in the town of La Grange and to it he retired during his last years. He was a small man, it is said. Jemima had the reputation of being a great horse-woman; she was fearless and would ride or drive a horse anywhere. She died Apr. 20, 1828; he Apr. 28, 1843, and both lie in New Hackensack church-yard.
