Green Family History
Our branch of the Green family originated in Milton near
Gravesend in Kent and the first reference found is in 1697. By 1727 they had moved to East Malling where
John Green was in trade as a
Wheelwright. They had several
children whose baptisms all appear in the East Malling parish registers.
He died in August 1779 aged 82 leaving to
his eldest surviving son John all his working
tools and timber and stock in trade at his shops at West Malling and East
Malling provided that he paid his brothers, James and George, five pounds after
his decease.
John Green married Jane Jones in
1764 and their children were also baptised in East Malling. It is their second son John who became
apprenticed to a papermaker and was working first at Chafford Mill, at Fordcombe
near Tunbridge Wells, Kent [see paper mills] and later purchased Hayle Mill at
Loose near Maidstone.
