Jonas Greene

Sir Jonas Greene (1767-1828) was an Irish barrister and magistrate, who held the office of Recorder of Dublin.

In a letter he wrote to Dublin Castle in 1823 he claimed that his private practice had been extremely lucrative; in pleading for an increase in salary, he referred to the serious financial loss he had suffered in accepting an official position.

Within a little over a year of taking up office he was writing to Henry Goulburn, the Chief Secretary for Ireland, asking for an increase in salary appropriate to the very heavy workload, and complaining that his pay was already in arrears.

Arthur's daughter Cecilia married as his first wife Sir Samuel Walker, 1st Baronet, Lord Chancellor of Ireland.

Five of her children, Jonas junior, Rachel, Harriet, Sarah and Catherine, are interred in the same grave as their mother.
