"… Rev. Henry1 Greene, b. in County Essex, England, about 1618. He entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge, England, in 1635, but withdrew before proceeding to a degree. He emigrated to New England about 1640, located in Watertown, Mass., and was admitted a freeman 13 May 1642 [One Henry Green was admitted 13 May 1640 (no one admitted on that date in 1642), but it's not clear that this man was even in New England at that time]. In 1643 he declined an offer in the ministry at Martha's Vineyard, but on 5 Nov. 1645 was ordained the first pastor of the church in Reading, Mass., where he d, 11 Oct. 1648. According to Governor Winthrop, Mr. Greene was 'a very Godly man'; so doubtless he was strictly 'orthodox' according to the Puritan standard."

"Henry (Green), Reading, call. by Winthrop 'a scholar,' but we kn. not at wh. of the Universit. he was bred, had been, in 1643, invit. to go to Martha's Vineyard by its first sett. but went not, m. Frances, eldest d. of deac. Simon Stone, had Joanna and Nathaniel; and was the earliest min. of R. ord. 5 Nov. 1645, and d. 11 Oct. 1648. His wid. m. as the will of f. shows."
"Henry (Green), Ipswich 1641, was perhaps the freem. of 13 May 1640, for I can hardly suppose it possible, tho. Farmer gave it without suspicion, that the Rev. Henry would have failed of his prefix of respect from the secr."
