Violette was born in Africa, as was her husband, Peter Green, Sr. They lived in Colrain, Massachusetts. They had at least six children: Peter, Jr. (1787-1866), Charles (1791-1864), Lettice (ca. 1790-?), Violet (ca. 1793-?), and two daughters, first names unknown, who died in 1803, when dysentery claimed the lives of several people in Colrain. One daughter was two years old and the other was four. Peter and Violette might also have had a daughter, Savilet, born about 1799. The 1800 federal census report for Colrain lists 9 “free persons” for the Peter Green household and the 1810 census lists 10 people in the same category.
Violette died prior to 1830.
