Anne Dunkin Greene Bates (c. 1885 – November 2, 1939) was an American socialite during the Gilded Age.[1]

Early life

Anne Dunkin Greene was born in New York City in c. 1885, a daughter of Elizabeth Dunkin (née Hoff) Greene (1852–1926) and Thomas Lyman Greene (1851–1904).[2] Her father was vice president and general manager of the Audit Company of New York and formerly with the Manhattan Trust Company.[3] Her older brother was Van Rensselaer Hoff Greene,[4][5] a 1904 graduate of Columbia University,[6][7][8] who married Agnes Benedict.[9]

Her maternal grandparents were Ann Eliza (née Van Rensselaer) Hoff and Dr. Alexander Henry Hoff of Philadelphia.[10] Her grandmother was a sister of Charles Watkins Van Rensselaer and both were children of Ann (née Dunkin) and Judge John Sanders Van Rensselaer and grandchildren of U.S. Representative Killian Van Rensselaer.[11] Her paternal grandfather was Mary Ann (née Crocker) Greene, who attended the Troy Female Seminary,[12] and Thomas Lyman Greene Sr., a manager of the Boston and Albany Railroad.[3]

Anne graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1905.[10]

Society life

In 1892, Anne, listed as "Miss Greene",[a][1] was included in Ward McAllister's "Four Hundred", purported to be an index of New York's best families, published in The New York Times.[13] Conveniently, 400 was the number of people that could fit into Mrs. Astor's ballroom.[14][15]

Personal life

In 1908,[16] Greene was married to Guy Bates (1880–1965) of Morristown and Summit, New Jersey.[17] Bates was a 1906 graduate of Columbia University.[18] Together, they were the parents of:

  • Elizabeth Maunsell Bates (1913–2011),[19] who married attorney Alan W. Carrick, the son of Judge Charles Lynn Carrick, in 1939.[20][21]

Anne Dunkin Greene Bates died on November 2, 1939.[1] She was buried at Arlington National Cemetery and upon her husband's death in 1965, he was buried alongside her.[citation needed]

Descendants

Through her daughter Elizabeth, she was the grandmother of Robert Duncan Carrick (b. 1943), who gifted her family's silver bowl to Newark Museum.[10]
