"Unkle Joshua" was Joshua Green, born in Boston, May 17, 1731,
"Monday 1/2 past 9 oclock in the morn^g" and died in Wendell, Mass.,
on September 2, 1811. He attended the Boston Latin School in 1738,
and was in the class of 1749 at Harvard. He married, as did his
brother and sister, a Storer--Hannah, daughter of Ebenezer and Mary
Edwards Storer--on October 7, 1762. After his marriage he lived in
Court Street, the third house south of Hanover Street. His wife
Hannah was for many years before and after her marriage--as was her
mother--the intimate friend and correspondent of Abigail Adams, wife
of John Adams. Some of their letters may be found in the _Account of
Percival and Ellen Green and Some of their Descendants_, written by
Hon. Samuel Abbott Green, who is a great-grandson of Joshua and
Hannah Green.
