Vincent David Greer

(February 2, 1781 - Bef 1850)

"David (Greer), born 2 February 1781; married Nancy Hodges; lived near Joshua on Gap Creek; died in Ashe County 1840/1850; his sons are probably to be identified as follows: i. son, born 1804/10 - probably David, born 1809/10. ii. son, born 1815/20 - probably John, born 1816/17. iii. son, born 1815/20. iv. son, born 1820/25 - probably Shadrack, born 1824/25." (OUR GREER FAMILY HISTORY, 1983, by Thomas H. Greer, 335 Miramontes Avenue, Half Moon Bay, California 94019, page 46.)

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: I am not sure where Thomas Greer got the names of the children he was using in the above. I obtained a copy of his manuscript from Lois Greer of Dublin, Virginia in 1989. On page 62a, of his work, he or Lois wrote in: "Another source lists the following children for David:" and lists nine children. I have put this list, as given, in this genealogy, even though the two lists don't match, the first seems to be guesswork of Thomas H. Greer. From another source, I have noted one son Thomas, who married Mary Ray. All descendants, dates and marriages or from the above source. EDMUND MARSHALL GREER - RACHEL FARTHING AND DESCENDANTS, 1980, by Roberta Rachel Greer Greenwell, page 2, gives the same list as used in this genealogy, but with no dates.)

Additional information about the birth and death dates of some of the children of Benjamin Greer was sent by Douglas Blackburn.
