Individual Details

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: For a number of years, I had included Thomas Greer as a child of John Greer and Sarah Day. I have now disconnected this link, because many people have seen my information, but not my notes. Please note that this past connection that I have made of Thomas Greer to John Greer is purely guesswork, but is a possibly. It appeared to me from information about the migration path of the Dunlap family and Thomas Greer, that Thomas Greer was probably related to the Greers who also went to Georgia. If this is correct, one possible place Thomas would fit, due to his birth date, would be as a son of John Greer, who was the son of the immigrant James. Another possible (and more likely) place that Thomas might fit in the Greer genealogy would be as a descendant of Henry Greer, uncle of John Greer. We no little or nothing about the descendants of John Greer, the older brother of Henry and James, he might be from that line. Of course, the family of Thomas Greer winding up in Georgia could also be a coincidence. So, for now, there is no proof that Thomas Greer was closely connected to James Greer, the immigrant, and could have been from another Greer family entirely.) Also note that in some presentations of the children of Thomas Greer and Jane Dunlap, the oldest child shown is Mary (1744 - 1775), who married Thomas Johnson. This Mary was actually Mary Dunlap, sister of Jane Dunlap, the wife of Thomas Greer. Mary was apparently mixed in with the children of Thomas and Jane at some point in time.)

"Thomas Greer, born 1723 and died 1793 Columbia, Georgia, married Jane Dunlap. He served in the Revolutionary War from Wake County, North Carolina; land grant on Ushes Creek, Columbia, Co, (sic) Georgia." (Information on the descendants of Thomas Greer from GREER chart by Leonard Greer of Lancaster, Pennsylvania as per GREER FAMILY, 1980 by William Greer Peck, pages 111 - 117.)

"Thomas served with his son in the American Revolution. Some say he might have been born in Columbia County, Georgia formed [1777] out of Richmond County. Greene County formed out of Washington County (formed February 1784). PECK from Ellen Greer Rees : Military duty from Wake Co, NC, thence got land grant on Ushes Creek, Columbia, Georgia. JULIAN GREER: birth = 3 JAN 1723 ... wed 10 December 1758. He emigrated to America thus becoming the patriarch of the American line." (William Greer, Illinois, 1995.)
