About Thomas Green
Lived 1761 – 1814 (aged 52).
Thomas Green (June 3, 1761 – May 29, 1814) to John Green and Mary Osgood, one of their three children. His mother died before his first birthday, and his father remarried, to Mary Ruggles, with whom he had ten more children. His paternal grandfather, Reverend Thomas Green, was the first pastor of the Greenville Baptist Church in Leicester of the same province.
He entered college around the time of the Revolutionary War which meant he did not complete his theology studies.
On October 8, 1782, Green married Salome Barstow of Sutton, Massachusetts, with whom he had eight children:
On January 18, 1797, Green was one of seven members who organized the "Baptist Religious Society of North Yarmouth and Freeport". He was chosen as its pastor. He remained in the position, albeit with not the warmest of relationships with his congregation, until 1810, when he was succeeded by Reverend Sylvanus Boardman, father of missionary George Boardman. Melina Roberts, whose family lived in the house in the early 20th century, established the "Stroll Haunted Yarmouth" role play. David Ray portrayed Green in the 2018 event.
Death Green died in 1814, aged 52. He is interred in the Old Baptist Cemetery, beside the church at which he had preached. He is buried beside his first wife.
