(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: One source shows the marriage of Young Henry Greer and Alemedia Thomas Beasley occurred 3 September 1835 in Oglethorpe County, Georgia, but Margie Green gives the marriage date and place as 3 September 1931 in Greene County, Georgia.)

"Young Henry Greer married Emily A. Richardson 15 September 1849." (Noxubee County, Mississippi Marriage Book A, page 275.)

"Young Henry and Emily Greer lived outside of Ahuqualak on Sections 27 and 28, Township 13, Range 17. Emily was born in 1831 in Alabama and died , we believe, in Noxubee County, Mississippi. Death dates for both are still in progress. Children believed to have come to Texas about 1882, to Hill County, Texas. My granddad, William Oscar Greer said he came to Texas when he was about 15 years old." (Information about the family and descendants of Young H. Greer and partial line of descent from Margie Green, 1325 Conkling Avenue, Garden City, Kansas 67846, 1996. Her information was taken from the 1840, 1850, 1860, and 1870 census of Mississippi (Young Henry was not shown in 1870); Family Bible of Young Henry Greer gives dates; mentioned in book, DANCING RABBIT.)
