Of Cambridge, and of Boston in 1686, was the successor of Day, in the printing establishment, and the ancestor of most of
the name in this country, who have devoted themselves to the typographic art. He was the son of Bartholomew Green, of
Cambridge, who died before 1658, and whose widow, Elizabeth, a member of the church in full communion, died Oct. 28, 1677,
aged 88 years. Samuel Green had children by his first wife, Jane, - who was the daughter of Guy and Justice Bainbridge, and
who died Nov. 16, 1657, - Elizabeth, Sarah, Samuel, Joseph, Lydia, and Deborah; by his second wife, Sarah, - daughter of
Elder Jonas and Elizabeth Clark, Jonas, Lydia, and Bartholomew. Green was a member of the church, "Clearke of the Writts" for
Cambridge, town-clerk from 1693 to 1697, and captain of the Cambridge ,militia for thirty years. For fifty years he had the
management of the printing-press, and during this time he seems to have given universal satisfaction; in company with Marmaduke
Johnson, who was sent over for this purpose by the corporation for propagating the Gospel, he printed the Indian Bible. Green
continued printing till he became aged; he died January 1, 1702, aged 87 years. He was a pious and benevolent man, greatly
esteemed by those who knew him. Soon after his death, the printing-press was removed from Cambridge, and probably sold.
