According to the nomination for the Mechanic Street Historic District in Stonington, the house at 117 West Broad Street in Pawcatuck is known as the George Greenman House. This George Greenman must have been related to the Greenman family of shipbuilders in Mystic and Westerly. In 1827 Silas Greenman, 3rd had joined with his brother George in a ship-building business in Mystic, but he moved to Westerly, Rhode Island (adjacent to Pawcatuck) in 1834. George continued shipbuilding in Mystic, partnering with his brothers, Clark and Thomas. Silas established a shipyard in Westerly called Silas Greenman & Company. He was later joined by his son, George S. Greenman, born in 1826. Could the owner of the house at 117 West Broad Street have been a grandson or other relative?
