ESTHER HASEY GREEN about 1649 - 1740

Esther was the daughter of William and Sarah Hasey and may have been born in Malden, Massachusetts but baptized in Boston.  She married Henry Green who had been born in Essex, England but lived in Malden when they married.  They had seven or eight children, including Jacob who married Dorothy Lynde.

The History of Malden written in the l800's includes copies of city documents from the 1600's and gives a good picture of what life was like then.  Nearby Indian villages were devastated by disease, later traced to lack of immunity to European germs, residents had  differences about clergy to be hired, buildings to be built, and there were conflicts between different geographical areas of Malden.  The church was a pivotal part of life.  Esther's father was a lieutenant and during King Philip's War fought with ancestors Greens, Lyndes, and Hills.

Sometime in the eighteenth century, the part of Malden where Esther lived was annexed to Stoneham and she died there about 1740.
