Born: 1690-00-00
Died: 1777-03-09 Hopkinton, Washington Co, Rhode Island USA
Marriages:
1. Joseph Odell Children of Elizabeth Greenman and Joseph Odell:
last name Grinman from this page --
There was a Greenman family in Westerly, some of whom spelled it Grinman, but I haven't found an Elizabeth that could fit here. John Greenman 1602 Somersetshire was the immigrant, arriving 1631.
--
Savage has:
GREENMAN, or GRINMAN, DAVID, early a propr. of Taunton. Baylies, II.
265. Perhaps he was of Newport, freem. 1655. EDWARD, or EDMUND,
freem. of Newport 1655, Westerly 1661, perhaps s. of John. JOHN, R. I.
1638.
--
There was also a Silas Greenman and a Sylvanus Greenman in Westerly at the time. Silas was Justice of the Peace and/or Town Clerk, apparently. Silas married Eunice Babcock, d/o George Babcock + Elizabeth Hall.
--
Another researcher sends:
Silas also owned a shipyard. Two of his sons were captains.
--
There was an Elizabeth Greenman d/o William Greenman c1665 + Ann(e) Clarke. She seems to have been born c1706, though.

This RootsWeb entry has a John Greenman 1666-03-27 Newport RI d 1727-09-30 same s/o Edward + Margaret or Mary, who married 1691 Elizabeth Dyer in Westerly. Edward was born c1630 ENG or Dorchester MA. There is no daughter Elizabeth listed, but the earliest child is 1694. This Elizabeth would certainly fit between 1691 and 1694.
