      BIRTH:
      1. The book "Stamford Town Records, Volume 1, 1641-1723," transcribed and annotated by Paul R. Finch, (Boston: NEHGS, 2011), pp. 140-41:
      "Page 149 [1:120]
      ([Benjamin Green])[448] & Susanna Roberts maried 10th Aprill, 1683.
      ([Sarah?, dau]ghter[449] to Bejamin Green, born 19th April1 1684.
      ([Phoebe?, d])aughter Benjam Green, born 8th July, 1686.
      ([Johanna?]) daughter to Ben Green, born 20th July 1690.
      Benjamin, son to Benjamin Green, born 5th Novembe: 1693.
      Susan, wife to Ben: Green, dyed 5 November 1694."
      Footnotes:
      448. The name "Benjamin Green" is apparent, since the following records of his children are grouped together right after this record. Huntington (Stamford Registration, 39) and Jacobus, (TAG 11:1 [July 1934]: 36) agreed that this name should be Benjamin; however, the Barbour Collection (Stamford: 155), citing Stamford Town Records 1:120, when recording the marriage of Susanna Roberts, not only failed to fill in the name "Benjamin," but also left out the name "Green."
      449. The following three daughters of Benjamin and Susanna (Roberts) Green, whose names have been broken off, were identified by Mead (Historie of Greenwich, 551-52) as Sarah, Phebe, and Lucretia, respectively. Mead, who was assisted by Robert B. Miller, editor of the "Lyon Memorial," appears to be correct with the exception of Lucretia's name, which should have been Johanna. It appears that Benjamin Green had only the four children listed here by his first wife, Susanna Roberts, for her death is recorded after her fourth child, Benjamin Green, Jr., (STR 1:120, line 6). Benjamin Green's will (Fairfield Probate Records, 8:63 [FHL 0,004,287]) dated 18 Feb. 1724/5 and probated 5 April 1727, mentions his wife and children Benjamin, Johanna, wife of Daniel Wheaton, Ebenezer, Nathan, Ruben, Charles, Sarah Lockwood, Phoebe Smith, Ester Smith, and Deborah Dan. In this list we see a Sarah and a Phoebe, but no Lucretia. The name Lucretia appears to be a Huntington invention (Stamford Registration, 39), as it is seen nowhere else in the records. Jacobus identified this third child as [Sus]ana (TAG 11:1 [July 19341:36) Deciphering the last three letters of her name, he evidently surmised that she was named after her mother Susanna, mentioned three lines earlier. However, her name appears to be Johanna. Not only does Benjamin's will refer to a daughter Johanna, but the original record, although seriously faded, appears to say "Johana." Note also that a John and "Feebe" Smith had a son, John Smith, on 16 Feb. 1709/10 (STR 1:125), at which time Phoebe would have been 24 if she was the second daughter."

      MARRIAGE:
      1. The book "Stamford Town Records, Vol. 1, 1641-1723," transcribed and annotated by Paul R. Finch, NEHGS (Boston, 2011), shows no marriage record; however, on p. 151 (p. 158 [1:125]) the birth of their first son John is shown for 16 Feb 1709/10.

      2. There is a vague suggestion that perhaps Phebe Green married second abt 1727 a Mr. ___ Lockwood. I have not yet found any substantation for this and more research may be needed. This may be a confusion with Phebe's sister who married Joseph Lockwood. There is also reports of a Phebe Green born ca. 1780 of Rhode Island who married Benoni Lockwood.
