PEDIGREE OF GREENE, OF STANNINGTON BRIDGE.
- [Partly derived from the monument in Stannington church, No. 2, b. in this Miscellanea. For the rest, from Gen. IV.
to the bottom, I am indebted to the labour and liberality of Mr Thos. Bell, land-surveyor, Newcastle, who compiled it from
the title deeds of the estate. Isoda, daur. of Wm Godswain, had lands in the adjoining township of Shotton, in the time of
Henry the Third (Stan. Misc. 47, a % b.) ; and Thomas, son of Roger Grene, in 1369, gave to Roger de Widdrington a toft in
Plescys, and 12 acres of arable land in Shotton, and half an acre of land in Holford, which he had by patrimony from his
said father.—(Id. 50.)]
I.—Humphrey Greene, of Stannington, in 1615. Perhaps he was a son of Humphrey Greene, who was vicar of Bolamn=
in 1587, and an arbitrator in 1615, with the vicar of Hartburn, about a boundary in dispute between Wm Fenwick, esq. of
Stanton, and Nicholas Thornton, esq. of Netherwitton.—(Setherwitton papers.)

for ten years (Mtib. papers) : and, in 1663, was assessed in the county rate for Stannington, at £80; for the mill there, atl
