BIOGRAPHY: The Greene Family and it's Branches
Laura Sara Nichols La Mance
Usal Greene' must have been sorry a thousand times that his great-great-great-great-grandfather was a Frenchman with a French name that English tongues could not speak. Old Gershom Lascelle's daughter must needs name her son Lascelle after her father. By the time this name had reached this^Lascelle Wardwell's grandson, born on American soil in 1639, no pretence was made of retaining the old pronunciation. And, as the town recorders spelled "by ear," there arose that remarkable putting down of a name that caused Savage to annote it, " Usal, Usual, Uzal, Usewell, Uzell or other outlandish name." * Abigail Gteene was the Massachusetts Usal's daughter, and she had the temerity to name her third son after her father. I have retained the spelling of Usal or Usual, as the simplest form of the name. But
R. I. records give it in these different ways : Usal, Uzal, Uzall, Youzell, Yousiel, and even Usualell ! This Usual of the unusual name led an unusually long life
and left an unusually tangled family record behind him. His children's births are some of them given as at three diiferent dates. He is said to have been 98 years, 100 or loi years, or 104, or as tradition says, no years old when he died. One writer puts his death on Oct. 14, 1794, one in 1795. But James N. Arnold in his Vital Records quotes a notice from a contemporaneous R. I. newspaper at the time of his death, which states that " Usall Greene " died at Coventry, Oct. 24, 1797. His birth records show him to have been born Jan. 23, 1694, so that he was 103 years, 9 months and i day old at his death. The Wardwell blood ever showed in remarkable longevity, but Usal Greene broke the record for the R. I. branch of the family.
