Richard Greene (The Younger) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Richard Greene (1560 - c. 23 June 1617) "The Younger", Knight and Lord of Bowridge Hill was the son of Sir Richard "of Stafford Ryvera" Grene and Joan Grene (née Converse),[1][2]

He married in 1587 Mary Hooker (16 August 1567 - c. 1617), daughter of John Hooker who was MP for Exeter[3] and Alice Powell; they "had at least eleven children," and "are buried in the family cemetery of Saint Mary the Virgin Parish Church Cemetery.").[1][2]

He was a member of the Parliament from Exeter.

Event: Member of Parliament from Exeter, ENGLAND

Interesting observation and question from Rodman Greene (b.1946): When John Greene (1591-1659), son of Sir Richard Greene, Lord of Bowridge Hill, emigrated in 1635 to the American Colonies he had but two of his ten brothers and sisters yet living (Robert Greene 1595-1649 and Rachael Greene Perne 1596-1656). Who remained in Gillingham as "heir at law" for Bowridge Hill?

This couple had at least eleven children: Peterb:c1585 (m. Joan); Richard b:c1585 (m. Agnes); Robert b:c1587; Rebecca b:c1592 (m. Mr. Downton); Mary b:c1594; Robert(?) b:c1595; Anne b:August 1595 (1st m. Giles Stagg, 2nd m. John Peche); Rachel b:c1596 (m. Richard Perne); John "the Surgeon" (my ancestor); Thomas b: May 18, 1599 d: August 15, 1599; and an unknown daughter born 1600.

A little about JOHN HOOKER, father of Mary Hooker who married Richard GREENE: The mother of the surgeon John Greene (1597-1659), Mary Hooker (1567-???), was the daughter of John & Alice Powell Hooker (alias Vowell). John Hooker who was born at Exeter, England, about 1524, his father, Robert Hooker, having been mayor of that city in 1520. John Hooker's parents died when he was about ten years old. His early education was acquired under Dr. Moseman, Vicar of Menhussin in Cornwall, and he afterward studied law at Oxford. Later he traveled in Germany and resided some time in Cologne and Strasburg, where he was the guest of Peter Martyne and attended the divinity lectures of that learned Reformer. He returned to England and after a short stay went to France, intending to extend his travels to Spain and Italy, but was prevented by the war. Returning to his native country he settled in Exeter, and was chosen first chamberlain of that city, 1555. He devoted himself after this to the study of history and antiquities. In 1568 was a member of the Irish Parliament, and in 1571 was one of the members of the English Parliament from Exeter (Wood). Price says he died 1601 (?), when about eighty years of age, and was buried in Exeter Cathedral, but had no monument. He was the author of several works, among them: "State of Ireland and Order of keeping a Parliament in that Country," the same being found in the British Museum under title, "Order and Usage of keeping Parliament in England" (MS. Harl., II73, vol. I9). (From History of Devonshire, by Rev. Thomas Moore, vol. ii. p. I 25)

John Hooker was uncle to the celebrated divine, Richard Hooker, Rector of Bascombe, County Wilts, 1591, and Prebendary of Sarum. John Greene removed early to Sarum (Salisbury), the county town of Wiltshire, (2) [IT:(2)((Leland's Itinerary (pp. 7-8, 31)gives the following: 'The city of Old Saresbyri standing on a hill is distant from the New a mile by north weste and d is incompace half a mile and mo. This city has been ancient and exceeding strong but syns the building of New Saresbyri it went totally to ruin. . . . In times of civil wars--insomuch as the castellanes of Old Saresbyri and the chanons could not agree, whereupon the bishop and they consulting together at the last began a church on their own proper soyle and then the people resorted strangers to New Saresbyrie and builded there and in continuance were a great number of the houses of old Saresbyri pulled down and set up at New Saresbyri."

Thomas's Church was built as a Chapel of Ease to the Cathedral by Bishop Bingham in the Year (?). It was dedicated to St. Thomas of Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, who was martyred in the reign of King Henry II., and is said to be in some respects more beautiful than the Cathedral. - See more at: http://www.redbirdacres.net/greenehistory.html#sthash.OlYFC8Kz.dpuf
