THE GREENE FAMILY.
Isaac Greene, Revolutionary Soldier,
Settled at Morgan's Bay.
Written for The AMERICAN by DR.. Mudd

Written for The AMERICAN by DR.. Mudd.1
Isaac Greene was born in Reading, Mass
When quite young he enlisted in the
Continental army in his fathers regiment.
His father was Col. David Greene, a cousin
of the celebrated general, Nathaniel
Greene.
After the revolution, Isaac Greene, came
to Surry with his young wife, whose
maiden name was Louise Sprague. They
came to what is at present known as the
head Of Morgan's bay. The country was
a wilderness at that time. They took up a
farm, cleared of the timber, built set of
farm buildings and raised large family.
Their family consisted of John, David,
Lemuel and Asa, Polly, Ruth and Emma.
Polly married Elder Robert Lord, OF East
Surry. Ruth married Gilpatrick, OF
Hancock or Lamoine. Emma married
Joy, of Ellsworth. Lemuel settled in
East Surry, John and David in Bluehill,
and Asa lived with the old folks. John
married Betsy Curtis, of Penobscot. Asa
married Lydia Fernald, of Gouldsboro.
In those times there we're no carriage
roads; the people travelled on horse back
or on foot The nearest town was Cas-
tine, to which Isaac Greene used to go to
execute his pension papers, generally on
foot through the woods, guided by blazed
trees.
The writer does not known what battles
Mr.. Greene was engaged in, except the
battle OF Bunker Hill, as the facts are
hard to find. Mr.. Greene lived to be quite
old. and while on visit to his daughter,
Mrs. Robert Lord, was taken ill and died,
and was buried at the upper end OF New
bury Neck in a burying-ground that was
discontinued years ago. The grave is un-
marked and overgrown with weeds and
alders. II this catches the eye OF any OF
his descendants who would like to see
the grave put in more respectable shape,
they may correspond with the writer
through THE AMERICAN, as he knows the
the exact locality. AS all Isaac Green's
descendants are sons and daughters OF the
revolution, whether they belong to the
order or not it, seems fitting that the grave
should be taken some care OF.
The family Of Asa Greene, the youngest
son of Isaac Greene, with whom the
writer is the most familiar, were Samuel
g., Isaac and Asa, Emma and Dorcas.
Samuel married Polly Hopkins, Isaac
married Sabrina Hopkins, and Asa married
Mary Greene. Dorcas married Samuel
Curtis. At one time there was large
settlement of Greenes at Morgan's Bay,
known as the Greene settlement. To-day
the name OF Greene is not known in town,
and the only descendants OF Isaac Greene
remaining here are Elwin Lord, Warden
Lord, Mary Witham, Mrs. j. M. NC
Kenney, Mrs. w. G. Rich, Mrs. Mary T.
Grey, Miss Ella Jarvis, Edward M. Curtis,
Mrs. Sarah H. Young and Edward M.
Cunningham.
