Growing up in Baraboo (Home of Ringling Bros. Circus), WI, one of my
classmates was a Greengage. I know that they and the Frazier family traced
their roots back to MA. Amazing the number of families that were in the
area who had colonial MA ancestors. The cemetery near my home contains all
kinds of familiar names:

Haseltine, Emery, Hoag, Bartlett, Dunham, Dodge, Bass, Ayers, Baldwin,
Bemis, Farnsworth, Goodwin, and the list goes on. The other folk in the
area were of Germany/Swiss ancestry.
