Notes (1)

I have heard repeated over and over again that John had "taken the wrong side" in the War of the Roses and was forced to flee England. He supposedly spent some time on the continent and legend has it he went by the name of "Clark" for a time. His son was restored to his position.

The "Strouse House" website, located at www.cpinternet.com/~rootie/index.html gives a lineage for the Greene familiy starting with John the Fugitive. They list John as being born in 1478 and dying in 1558 - marrying Elizabeth in 1498.

See www.hap-pc.org/~wmewrght/greenej.html for a discussion regarding John Greene the Fugitive.
