Yale: Miranda D. (Greene). Brewster: Miranda (Greene). FAG: Miranda Dimon Greene. Sibling Charles Jesup Jennings Yale necrology OCR/print reads “Matilda D. (Greene)” — CONFLICT vs Miranda; John’s and father’s Yale entries both Miranda — prefer Miranda; do not merge Matilda as separate mother. Middle Dimon from FAG; D. from Yale.
