Malden, Massachusetts is a small town just north of Boston that before 1642 was part of Charleston. Both the Lynde and Green families lived there when Dorothy and Jacob Green were born and married. They were the parents of Miriam Green who married into the Richardson family who married into the McClure family. Malden seems to be a progressive town as it was one of the first to declare separation from Britain over 200 years ago and was one of the first to recognize marriage between persons of the same sex.
Dorothy was the daughter of John Lynde and Elizabeth Hills who had married in 1691 in Malden after John's first wife died. Elizabeth was perhaps the daughter of Joseph Hills and widow of William Green. John Lynde, a captain in King Philip's War, was married at least 3 times. Dorothy had two sisters and at least four half siblings.
Dorothy's husband, Jacob, was the son of Henry Green and Elizabeth Hasey. Henry was a lieutenant in King Philip's War. One book (Virkus) says that Jacob was a Harvard graduate. Jacob kept a journal which he named "Jacob Green, His Writing Book" and which was continued by his son, Jacob, after his death.
Jacob and Dorothy were married only 10 years when Jacob died. Dorothy then married John Barrett and they moved to eastern Connecticut, to Killingly. Dorothy died there in 1740 at only 48 years old.
