Generation Five
16.Stephen5 Greenleaf was born on 21 Oct 1690 at Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.5,6 He and Mary MacKres (see #17) were married on 7 Oct 1712 in Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts, daughter of Benony MacKrest and Lidia _____.7 He died in 1771.8
He was also known as Stephen Greenleafe.6
Stephen Greenleaf was born in Newbury, Massachusetts, and resided there until after his marriage and the birth of four sons; viz., Enoch, Richard, Samuel, and Ebenezer. The records of the town of York, Maine (incorporated 1639), give the following "Stephen Greenleaf, his children, born in York, of his wife Mary. Lydia, born 3 May 1722; Stephen, born 27 Feb. 1724-25; Joseph, born 2 July 1727; Mary, born 17 Feb. 1730-31."
It has been supposed that Stephen removed to Woolwich from Newbury about the year 1720, but it now appears he had intermediate residence between Newbury and Woolwich. In 1720 but slight beginnings had been made in the settlement of the district; the Indian War soon began and drove out, it is said, every one who had entered. It would appear that he removed first to York, Maine, from Massachusetts, probably about 1720-21, then farther east to Falmouth, about 1731, as by the records there we find: -
"Stephen Greenleaf, Mariner, York," bought lot and house in present Portland in 1731. "Stephen Greenleaf, Pound Keeper," Back Cove, Falmouth, 26 March 1734. "Stephen Greenleaf, of Falmouth, and Mary, wife, sells title in Mill Stream and Mills in Falmouth," in 1736. Stephen Greenleaf had conveyance of his land in June, 1738, in Woolwich. "Stephen Greenleaf paid for killing a Wildcat," 1 May 1743. Richard Greenleaf, his son, sells part of the same, "improved and possessed twenty-nine years last past," in 1767. It also appears upon the records that "Stephen Greenleaf, York, Coaster," et al., bought a right In land in Monsweag Bay, in 1729, including the tract in which he afterwards lived. Land conveyances being accepted, under conditions, as evidence of residence, it would appear that 1738 was the time of his taking up his residence in Monsweag (Woolwich).9
Children of Stephen5 Greenleaf and Mary MacKres (see #17) were as follows:
i. Enoch4 Greenleaf; born 23 Jun 1713 at Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts.10,11
ii. Richard Greenleaf; born 24 Nov 1715 at Newbury, Essex County, Massachusetts;12,13 he and Mary Boucher were married 19 May 1747 at Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.10,7
