Here this branch lived in high repute up to the time King James was with William, Prince of Orange, when their Hall and Works being sacked and burned, they were invited to the protection of the Marquis of Devonshire. But thereafter, being greatly reduced in fortune, James Greenlee and family embarked to the port of Waterford, Ireland, with intention to settle within a township called "Kenuet Pennsylvania," but must have been diverted from that province to the neighborhood of a place called "Marlboro Port, Maryland" as letters bearing that Post House mark were directed thence to Sir John Lanier, of Portsbello, Ireland, concerning the pur- chase of estate for said Lanier's family, by James Greenlee; also letters from same Post House to Lord Lumley, of Lumley Castle, Durham County, England (old friends of the Greenlee family), which letters were preserved in the archives of Aston, Lee Manor Hall, Warwickshire, where they were found in the year 1830 by John Thorpe, Yeoman, of Duddeston Manor, said County, together with a manuscript history of the Greenlee family, a duplicate inden- tured copy of which was found in 1848, in the British Consul General's office, Baltimore, and forwarded by Anthony Barclay, of the British Consulate, Barclay St., New York, to James Watt, Lord of the Manor, of Aston on Lee, Warwickshire. Which James Watt was related, on the maternal side, to the Irish Branch of the Warwick County Greenlees, supposed to be settled in the neighborhood of a place called Marlboro Royalty of Maryland, the letters hav- ing been posted there.” CONTENTS Page.
