PERCIVAL GREEN, born probably 1603; died Dec. 25, 1639, in Cambridge, Mass.; married Ellin (???). She was born about 1600; died May 27, 1682, aged 82, in Cambridge, Mass. She married secondly Thomas Fox, about 1650.

On the list of early emigrants who were to be transported (from London) to New England, "imbarqued in the ship “Susan and Ellen”, Edward Payne, Mr." Apr. 18, 1635, are the names of "A Husbiman, Percival Green 32, uxor Ellin Green 32," who came to this country with two servants. They were at Cambridge, in 1636, and were both members of the Church. He took the freeman's oath Mar. 3, 1635-6, his name being spelled in the text Passeville Greene. In the ? Persevalle, and in the ?? In 1691 there was a law-suit between the grandchildren of Percival Green on the one side and Thomas Fox on the other to recover the old homestead which had belonged to the grandfather and that was then in the possession of Fox who succeeded in keeping it.
Percival Green is supposed to have been a brother of Bartholomew Green of printing fame, who settled at Cambridge, in 1633, and who now has many descendants in Connecticut.

(They are on the passenger list for the ship “Suzan And Ellen”, departing London on 11 March 1635.

FOLLOWING IS FROM “AN HISTORICAL GUIDE TO CAMBRIDGE” BY THE DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, PUBLISHED 1907:
PERCIVAL GREEN-FOX HOUSE. (LOCATION HOLMES PLACE AND KIRKLAND STREET):
“The next lot was granted to Percival Green, who, when he was thirty-two years old, came here with his wife, Ellen, and two servants, in the "Susan and Ellen," April 18, 1635. He had two children, John, born in 1636, and Elizabeth, born in 1639, who married John Hall, of Concord, Cambridge and Medford. On December 25, 1639, Fercival Green died. His widow, Ellen, married, in 1650, Thomas Fox, who is said to have been a descendant of the author of the famous "Book of Martyrs." He came to Cambridge in 1649. Thomas Fox was married four times; his first wife, Rebecca, the mother of his only child, Jabez, died at Concord in 1647; he married the widow Ellen Green and lived in this house until it was burned in 1681 or 1682. His wife died in May, 1682, "in consequence of a fall," and he seems to have remained in possession of the land. His stepchildren, John and Elizabeth Green, both married in 1656, and, after John's death (he was marshal-general of the colony), in 1691, the widow and children sued Thomas Fox for the estate and obtained it.

“It is thought by some that a tavern called the Red Lion Inn occupied the Green lot, and a large red barn was standing there early in the nineteenth century, but so far no record of a house on this site, since that of Percival Green was burned, has been found. The vacant lot was occupied by shows and cakestalls on commencement day, the overflow from the common.
