"William Geer first appears in Greene Co., GA Tax List in 1809, Capt. King's District, although he owned no valuable property and is taxed only the poll for himself. In 1810, he is taxed in Capt. A. Browning's District, for himself and 2 slaves, but still no valuable property. He is taxed thusly until 1822 when he is taxed for Greene County property on Fishing Creek and one tract of land in Oglethorpe Co. and two tracts of land in Monroe Co.

A Browning's District, for himself & 1 slave and as administrator of the estate of James Greer, including James' land in Greene (187 1/2 acres) & Wilkinson (202 1/2 acres) Counties and guardian of James' minor children.
