Greene Family Notes

Levi&Herbert Young's 1930 family tree indicates that Michael Young came to Canada with Uncle Captn.Monk who had land near Ottawa. 

Bruce Elliott's book Irish Migrants in the Canadas indicates that Robert Young Greene, formerly a gentleman of Castle Connell and Modreeny, was son-in-law to Captain Monk. The 1879 Belden Historical Atlas of County Carleton shows that Robert Young Green owned a farm (lots 21 concessions 5,6&7) that stretched from the Ottawa River to Lake Constance close to the Monk property (lot 24 concession 7) and to James Young (lot 19 concession 4)

 

The Greenes in History - From H.Walker's book Carleton Saga

General Lloyd built a second stone house about a mile farther south on the river which he called Noch Na Chree ("hill of my Heart").  This he built for Robert Young Greene when he married Mary Jane Monk, his niece, and daughter of Capt. Benning Monk.  Some of the Greene descendants were prominent in the higher echelons of the Civil Service such as the late Kenneth Greene, formerly Canadian Consul-General at New York and later High Commissioner at Canberra; and, in municipal administration, such as the late Ainslie Greene.  The Greenes were in several local enterprises but are remembered chiefly as the owneres of the "G.B.Greene", popular Upper Ottawa river steamer.  Bruce Elliott lists Lady Naomi Slater Heydon of Forrest ACT Australia as a source of Greene family information in his book Irish Migrants in the Canadas

 

Most of the following comes from a genealogy of March and Bytown Pioneers Pinhey & Sparks published by Lady Naomi Slater Heydon.
