| Note | (IV) William (3), son of William (2) Green, was born in Maiden, Massachusetts, in 1683.
He married, in Reading, Massachusetts, March 30, 1769, Sarah Sprague, daughter of Samuel and Sarah Sprague. The widow Sarah died at Royalston, Massachusetts, October 19, 1772, aged eighty-six years and thirteen days.
William Green was a carpenter by trade and he had the contract to build the first school house in Malden.

" p. 186. The building appears tohave been the first separate ediface erected in Malden for educationalpurposes, and must have presented a strange contrast to the spacious andwell ventilated school-hous es of the present day.
