"There is no Vincent Greer on the 1820 Greene County, Georgia census." (MY GREER LINEAGE, 1992, by Mary Lee Barnes, page 28.)

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: GREER KINSMEN, 1986, by J. B. Bell, page 109, shows the children of Vinson Greer, Jr. and the birth dates of Aquilla and Sarah were taken from This source shows Vinson Greer, Jr's son, Aquilla, married Sarah Sayers. However, further research and the Henry English, Jr. Bible records indicate the Aquilla Greer who married Sarah Sayers was the son of William Greer and Delilah Haynes, sister-in-law of Henry English, Jr. Therefore, page 109a of GREER KINSMEN probably refers to the Aquilla Greer, son of William Greer, who married Sarah Sayer, and an Aquilla Greer, son of Vinson Greer, Jr., as this Vinson Greer was not married and had no children.)
