Giles Green

Giles Green was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1648.

Green was the son of John Greene a merchant of Dorchester and a friend of Rev John White. He was a prominent citizen of Weymouth, and the town records show payments to him "towards a key and slipp which he hath built upon the town ground on the East side of his house in Hell Lane".

In 1621 Green was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Weymouth. The "Visitation of Dorset" in 1623 disclaimed him and he is listed at Dorchester as having "usurped the name of Gentleman without authoritie". In 1624, he was one of the founders of the Dorchester Company, an early venture at colonising New England. This grandson would later become a participant in Bacon's Rebellion (1676–1677), for which he was executed.
