NOTE .- The Greenman family has been prominently identified with ship- building in Mystic. In 1827 George and Silas Greenman 3d, having learned shipbuilding from their father, went into partnership at Old Mystic (the head of the river), and remained there till 1835, when Silas removed to Westerly, R. I., and carried on the business there. His brother George carried on the ship- building alone for one year, when he took his two younger brothers, Clark and Thomas S., into partnership with him. In 1838, being solicited to build larger vessels than their yards would accommodate, they bought and re- moved their plant to Adams Point, near Mystic, and established the first ship- yard in that place, and the list of vessels which they built is found under "Shipping" in this book. In 1849 the Greenman brothers organized the Green- manville Manufacturing Co., which they established at Adams Point, giving the name of Greenmanville to the village, which had grown up there by their enterprising business capacity. They erected a large mill for the manufacture of fine woolen gooods, which was successfully operated and subsequently en- larged to its present size, and in 1863 they established a store there to supply their many employes and others. The Greenman brothers believed that in "union there is strength," and the perfect confidence between them and their strong opinions of right and justice have made them worthy of notice among their fellow men.

We do not know at what date the first Haley came from Dev- onshire, England, or whether he landed at Boston or Newport, but from what I have learned it is said that he came from Bos- ton to Newport in 1738, and on the First Congregational Church records in Stonington is found this entry, "Dominie Haley and Ann Dorcas were married Oct. 29, 1739." Whether he was brother or not to the
I. JOHN HALEY of Groton is not known, but a John Haley and his wife, Mary Saunders, daughter of John and Silence Saun- ders, lived at Centre Groton in 1738 with their six children, viz .: John, Joshua, Jeremiah, Caleb, Martha and Elizabeth. John settled in Stonington, a mile or more north of the borough, near the present residence of John F. Chesebro. Caleb m. at Centre Groton, and Jeremiah settled at Mystic Bridge, Conn.
