Individual Details

Dr. Moses Theoderick Greer

(1829 - 1904)

"Moses T. Greer was born in Franklin County, Virginia in 1829; married Louisa J. Thompson about 1852; he died in 1904." (Pedigree chart prepared by Richard L. Greer, 1985.)

"Moses T. Greer became a member of the legislature. He is buried on the Old Lee Willis farm near Paris, Monroe County, Missouri." (GREAR - GREER - GREERE - GRIER by Robert M. Torrence, A.B., F.G.S.P., F.I.A.G; 110 Edgevale Road, Baltimore 10, Maryland, pages 25.)

"Moses Theoderick Greer returned to Franklin County with his mother to Rocky Mount (Virginia), after his father had died in Missouri. He married Lousia Thompson and practiced medicine near Callaway." (PIONEER SETTLERS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY, VIRGINIA, 1935 by Marshall Wingfield, page 92.)

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: In PIONEER SETTLERS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY, VIRGINIA, which was taken verbatim from "GENEALOGY OF THE GREER FAMILY as preserved by John Franklin Greer, son of Joseph Hampton Greer, as written by him, the said Joseph Hampton Greer in his lifetime," Moses Theoderick Greer has been confused with Theoderick Webb, brother of Ursula Webb, Moses Theoderick Greer's mother. The above source gives Theoderick Webb as "Theoderick Greer," which is in error. Is the above information given by Torrence about the burial place of Moses T. Greer correct or is this also confused with Theoderick Webb? Or did Moses T. return to Virginia and practice medicine there, then return to Missouri, where he died?)
