Family (Rowland) Burlingame, Silence, d. 1813

Married 22 Sep 1751 West Greenwich, Rhode Island [1]

Mary Shaw Greene wrote that Silence was a widow from Scituate, Massachusetts without evidence. Arnold's entry for the marriage reads [Greene] "Timothy, of W. Greenwich, and Silence Burlingame, widow, of Scituate; m. at Coventry by Elder James Colvin, Sept, 22 1751". The fact that Scituate is not specifically said to be in Massachusetts, suggests that Silence was from Scituate, Rhode Island, as other states are commonly named in these records. [1, 6]

Documents		History of Preston Hollow Baptist Church This clipping was found at the Rensselaerville Historical Society. It names Timothy Greene as the first pastor. The first meeting house was near the homesteads of the Greene siblings. Unfortunately, the original source of the document is missing.
Documents		Historical Marker at the Baptist Church of Preston Hollow Four members of the Green family and their spouses were almost certainly founding members of this church in 1787 (Silence Green and Samuel Martin, Huldah Green and Samuel Baker, Levi Green and Asenath Robinson, and Rowland Green and Elizabeth Champlain). Elder Timothy Green, their father, was the first pastor of the church (abt 1790).
