Event data
Place: Boston, Massachusetts
Start date: Apr. 1840
End date: Apr. 1840
 
Notes:
Fiske's book only says that Greene beat Oliver 6 in a match of 10 games, so it is not clear whether there were any draws. I assume Oliver won the other 4 games. Fiske seems to indicate that it took palce in April, though this is not entirely clear. Spinrad appears to misquote Fiske's book here, giving the match as Greene-Fuller, rather than Greene-Oliver.
