GREEN,
In 1653 a Mr. Groom owned land adjoining Dea. Cooper's
hottselot. Tliere was a Mr. John Groom in Plymouth from 1638
to 1650, when he disappears at Plymouth and appears in Barnstable.
Dr. Shurtleff seems to'favor the notion tha^ John Gorham
and John Groom were the same person. Land for a housejot was
granted to John Groom in 1638. John Gorham was then only 17,
and it is not probable that he was the person intended. Mr. Savage
mentions Nicholas, Henry and Samuel Groom ; but not John
of Plymouth. I have thought the name on the Barnstable records
was Green, and therefore refer to it in this connection.
There was an Isaac Green, a surveyor, afterwards of Falmouth,
who probably resided some little time in Barnstable.
James Green, who died in Barnstable in 1731, aged about 90,
was a son of James of Charlestown. He married Nov. 19, 1661,
Rebecca Jones of Dorchester, and had,
I. Elizabeth, Nov. 14, 1662, married 1691, Jphn Lothrop, of
Barnstable, 2d, Thomas Crocker, 23d Dec. I7OI. She was
four years older than her first, and twelve older than her last
husbanc^. She died inHingham Aug. 1, 1752, aged 89.
