| 353 | From Pamela Dawn McMahan: JAMES GREENE "of Potowomut" (John), was baptized at St. Thomas' Church, Salisbury, England, June 21, 1626, and came with his parents to New England in 1635. He was made freeman of Warwick and Providence Plantations in 1647. He resided at Old Warwick on the main street on the southerly side, where the graveyard is now located in which he and some of his family are buried. He was on the "Roule of ye Freemen of ye Colonie of everie Town in 1665 and was Town Clerk, May 16, 1661. He was "an excellent penman of the old English text." He was a member of the General Assembly of the Colony, being Commissioner under the first charter, and Deputy and Assistant under the second (1663), for ten years, between 1660 and 1675. He was considered "a man of much practical sagacity." He does not appear to have been in public life after the Indian war (1675-6), when his house, with all others in Warwick, except the "Stone Castle," was burned to the ground. When the message from the General Assembly advising the people of Warwick of danger was received, he fled to Portsmouth, Rhode Island, where the father of his second wife, John Anthony, resided. He remained for some years at "Hunting Swamp," but in 1684, having made purchases of Warwick land (6) (Warwick Records. 1664, 1st Book of Marriages. Warwick Records, Land Ev., p. 12: "15 Oct. 1682 Thos. Staffordof Warwick sells to James Greene of Hunting Swamp Portsmouth for 5f all his lands in Warwick, purchased by the inhabitants of Warwick which deed stands recorded in Warwick.'') he removed to Potowomut where was an ancient mill, and built his house on the hill near the west bank of the river, overlooking the beautiful lake which furnished the water power for the forge which his grandsons (sons of Jabez) established for making anchors and other forms of ironwork. This became a notable industry in colonial times and in the early days of there public. The interests of the forge" were enhanced by the revival of business after peace existed between England and her emancipated colonies, and this became the pioneer of the more extensive works on Pawtuxet River, near the western border of Warwick, known as 'the Forge.'" The place at Potowomut where James Greene resided until his death, was the birthplace of his great-grandson, the highly distinguished Major General Nathanael Greene of the Revolutionary Army, and the residence of his descendants for more than two hundred years. He died "at his mansion in Potowomut," April 27, I698, in the seventy-second year of his age, and was buried at the Old Warwick burial-ground, under an altar-tomb with the inscription still in a good state of preservation, on his original house lot of six acres granted by the proprietors of Warwick, 1647, when he had attained his majority. This lot was located on the main street, the second lot north easterly from the road leading to Warwick Neck. The burial-ground and lot descended to his eldest son, James, whose descendants have been buried there to the present generation. | Green, James (I4427)

Enlisted with his brother Simon with Capt. Edwards 34th Regt. "Hamby was tough as whitleather and was shot and 'skelped' a number of times but never seriously hurt" . (Info taken from CIVIL WAR HISTORY by James C. Elliott) See notes on Simon D. Davis. He is identified in "North Carolina Troops: 1861-1865 as being wounded in the arm at Gaines Mill, Virginia on June 27, 1862 and then captured at the North Anna River, Virginia on about May 24, 1864. He was confined at Point Lookout, Maryland on May 30, 1864 until paroled on or about March 14, 1865 and transferred to Boulware's Wharf, James River, Virginia where he was received on March 16th for exchange. The 34th Regiment participated in some of the more famous engagements of the Civil War; Mechanicsville, Gaines Mill, Frazier's Farm, Malvern Hill, Cedar Run, Manassas Plains, Ox Hill, Bolivar Heights, Sharpsburg, Shepardstown, Fredricksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, The Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, Hanover Junction, Second Cold Harbor, Riddle's Shop, Petersburg, and Appomattox Court House when Lee surrendered. A. P. Hill's Corps. were the first Confederate columns to reach the vicinity of Gettysburg on July 1, 1863 (Day 1 of the Battle of Gettysburg) with Heth's Division in advance and Pender's (34th Regiment) following a few miles distant in support. Heth's Division rapidly engaged the Federal forces at Willoughby Run (a creek). Pender's Division was the first of the Confederates to come in support and took a support position for Pettigrew's Brigade who held the Southern front. Scales Brigade with the 34th led by Colonel Gordon charged McPherson Ridge driving the Federal line back to Seminary Ridge. The Confederate forces then assailed Seminary Ridge with Scale's Brigade (34th Regt.) at the extreme west of the Confederate line. "After heavy fighting and serious losses we passed up the ascent, crossed the ridge and commenced the descent just opposite the Theological Seminary"; General A. M. Scales. Nightfall of the first day found Hill's Division in possession of Seminary Ridge. "The first day was a real North Carolina day. It was fought by 32 North Carolina Regiments and 2 North Carolina battalions along with a total of 36 other regiments from other Southern states. In this first engagement, while other brigades suffered heavily, those of NC fared the worst. Scales Brigade (34th Regiment included) suffered heavily, as did all of them." - Taken from the Confederate Veteran, "The First Day at Gettysburg", by Capt. S. A. Ashe of Raleigh, NC Hamby is mentioned in a letter from Ancil Dycus to his wife, written on May 29, 1864, in which he says that Hamby is missing and feared in the hands of the Yankees. In the 1900 census Hamby is living in the house next to John Jiles Greene and Charlotte. Hamby is listed as the Head of household with his youngest son "Dexter" and Dexter's wife Mary.

| 377 | He acquired approx. 1,300 acres of land. This excerpt from p. 39 in the book, "Helms Descendants 1720 - 1991" by Gerald Helms and others may help explain why James' middle name was Culpepper: "The Meadow Branch was organized in 1810, is also one of the oldest churches in Union County. Its name was recently changed to Wingate Baptist Church. Among the settlers of the county just after the Revolutionary War were Sikes, Williams, Bivens, all of whom were from Baptist communities. The Gourdvine Church, near this territory, lost influence; consequently, in 1810 the Meadow Branch was organized. A church building was erected one mile north of the present town of Wingate. The charter members whose descendants still live in the community, came from the Gourdvine Church. JOHN CULPEPPER was among its early ministers, and there conducted services on Sundays, sometimes during the week." | Williams, James Culpepper (I23030)

| 382 | He and his family arrived in Smithfield VA, in 1650, to be the minister at the "Old Brick Church" (the first Brick building in America, and still standing). In the turbulent days before the American Revolution, it is almost certain that Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Richard Henry Lee and Patrick Henry all knelt at the alters of Saint Luke's. This historical and hallowed place played its own part in the slow shaping of the momentous destiny of our nation. St. Luke's Church (also called "Old Brick") is the nation's only original Gothic church and the oldest existing church of English foundation in America. Its brick walls have stood for more than three centuries, located 2 miles from present-day Smithfield, Virginia on route 10.
