Capt. Daniel Greene1774-1858 & Mary Strout Greene1788-1842
Captain Daniel Greene sailed an ocean going vessel from the “Port” of Marietta. In July of 1806 he was on a stopover in Lisbon on his way to the Plata River in South America. He intended to return to London, England before returning home to Charleston, South Carolina. With this venture he hoped to earn a profit of about five to six thousand dollars. That same year he had purchased a lot and house in Marietta on the corner of Front and Putnam Streets. In 1808 he purchased his father’s land in Newport and built a brick home for his parents. (The Greenwood home still stands today.) On another voyage in 1809 he married Mary Strout in London. Their first child, Mary Ann, was born there a year later.
Daniel Greene served in the War of 1812. By 1815, Daniel and Mary Greene had established their home in Marietta, and Daniel opened store on Ohio Street, Daniel Greene & Co. They were members of St. Luke’s Church in Marietta. He served many years as vestryman.

DEATHS
1839 Richard S. Greene, lost overboard from
June 8 th S. B. Isabella, and was buried at Cat Fish Point
Bolivar Co. Miss. about 25 miles below Arkansas River
From Family Genealogy, by Marie Hall Jones, 1925
page 28, 29
... Daniel Greene was a sea captain and owner of ship Isabella. He and his wife were shipwrecked off coast of Charleston about 1811. He had a scar on left cheek inflicted by pirates, when his ship Isabella was attacked. [Scar can be seen in portrait of Capt. Greene]
Their son Richard, who was drowned in the Mississippi River, was engaged to Miss Sallie McFarland, elder sister to Eunice and Anne McFarland and daughter of Moses McFarland. This story was told by her grand-niece, Miss Julia Hicock:
"Mrs. Mary Greene was sitting by her bed room window and heard her son's voice. A week or two later, they had news of his death, and she realized she had heard his voice just about the time he was drowned."
I have also heard a version of this story with these added details: Richard called out "Mother" as if he was walking up to the house, and was calling out to her. Mary heard this so clearly, that she got up and looked out of the window, expecting to see Richard walking up to the house.

Honored Parents
I have the pleasure to inform you we are this far safe on our intended voyage which place I have appraised you of before this (namely River Plata in South America) and do not expect to be in London before next March which place I return to before I see the U. S. again. And if fortune smiles upon me this time you may calculate upon seeing me on my return to Charleston. Altho I am much attached to my ship and employer I am still more attached to those that gave me birth and there is nothing but ambition that keeps me from seeing you which is not so great but my prospects is equal to conquer part of it this voyage; but fortune is so slippery I don't like to be too sanguine. My property under your direction do with as you think for the best. Remember me to all friends. I am as usual.
D. Greene
P.S. My adventure is between 5 and 6 thousand dollars. I hope to sail from this today. You will have letters to meet me in London.
