Notes:
He worked for Richard Smith at an Indian trading post in the wilderness of the Narragansett around 1639. This area was called Aquidnesset by the Indians which was shortened to Quidnesset by the colonists. Hence, he is known as John Greene of Quidnesset. Smith and Green at one point threw in their lot with CT during the controversy over which state (CT, MA, RI) controlled the Narragansett probably because the Rhode Island Assembly had sought to void any purchase of land from the Indians without permission of the Assembly. The result was that John Greene was arrested on 11 May 1664. In court John Greene tactlessly spoke his mind offending the court and was forced to retract his statement. He then revised his position and requested that the court pardon his "offense in adhering to the government of Connecticut." This pardon was granted and he was permitted to return home.
