Perry Green, Edward's brother, lived in Coventry at the time Edward entered service there.
Edward Green enlisted in September 1776 and served three months as private in Captain Reuben Whitman's company, Colonel Cook's Rhode Island regiment; during the year 1777, he served four tours of one month each under Captains Asa Bennett, Jeremiah Austin and William Ray, Colonels N. Brown and General Spencer; he enlisted about May 26, 1778, served as private in Captain Philip Trafton's company, Colonel John Topham's Rhode Island regiment, was in the battle of Rhode Island, and on the night of August 29, exchanged shots with some of the enemy while engaged in routing them from a house between the lines of the Army, and continued in service until March 1779. He went to Petersburg, New York, in August 1779, where his father had moved; he volunteered there and served one month in the militia at Schoharie, and in October 1780, enlisted and served one month in Captain Samuel Shaw's company, Colonel Henry K. Van Rensselaer's New York regiment. In 1781 and 1782, he guarded the arsenal at Providence, Rhode Island.
After the Revolutionary War, he resided in Petersburg, New

York, for several years, moved from there to Brookfield, Madison County, New York, where he resided ten or twelve years, moved from there to Pinkney, Lewis County, New York, where he lived for six years, then moved to Alfred, Allegany County, New York.
Edward Green was allowed pension on his application executed August 23, 1832, at which time he resided in Alfred, New York. He died February 24, 1845.
The date and place of marriage of Edward Green and the name of his wife were not given.
The soldier was survived by children, whose names were given as follows: Jeremiah Green, Paris Green, Perry Green, Edward Green, Thomas Green and Polly Witter, wife of Clark Witter.
In 1832, Perry Green, the soldier's brother, resided in Alfred, New York. George Green and Edward J. Green made affidavits in 1832 regarding the soldier's service in the Revolutionary War, but their relationship to him was not stated.
In 1819, one Mansir or Mansir Green made affidavit in regard to the service of Edward Green, the pensioner, in Rensselaer County, New York; he was deceased at the time Edward Green applied for pension in 1832, but no relationship between these two was stated.

I wish to obtain information that will enable me to identify two soldiers of the Revolution who bore the same name — Edward Green — both drew pensions (I am told), and both died in the town of Alfred, Allegany Co., N.Y.
1. Edward J. Green (or Edward Green 1 st ), born in Rhode Island March 10 (or) 1757 — died March 28, 1836
8904 Can information be obtained regarding his marriage  parentage , and place & dates of service etc., etc.?
2. Edward Green 2 nd , born in Westerly, R.I. March 20, 1760 — d. Feb. 24, 1845. I think he served in Rhode Island — I know he served later in Capt. Samuel Shaw's Company of 6 th Albany Regt. (4 th Pennsylvanian Detachment) commanded by Lieut. Col. Henry K. Van Rensselaer, during 1780 & 81, in company with four brothers. Information regarding his marriage, service etc. is very much desired. If it can

be supplied from The Pension Office, it will be of very great service to me
Yours Very Truly
