Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Greenes of Warwick in Colonial History: Read Before the Rhode Island Historical Society, February 27, 1877 I propose, Mr. President, with your permission, to present a sketch of the branch of the Greene family, which, as well from its direct descent from the eldest son of John Greene, as from its prominent association with Colonial affairs, and its leading influence in them, may, with propriety, be styled the elder branch, without disparagement to other branches of the same stock, eminently respectable as they were, and frequently active and conspicuous in public affairs. I may say, that the line I speak of were more distinctly and prominently and continuously important in the Colonial and Revolutionary administrations, than any other family can claim to be. And although the transcendent lustre which attaches to the name of Nathaniel Greene, who represents another line of descent from the same source, has, in a measure, cast in the shade those of his kinsmen whose sphere of action was more limited, and whose qualifications were of a very different kind and degree, it may not be a task entirely thankless and fruitless, to pass an hour in discussing the services of his less prominent kinsfolk.
