Smith Greer
(December 3, 1808 - February, 1893)
"In an old Bible Record of John Greer and hand copied for Lucile McDaniel of Jayess, Mississippi, by an elderly decendent of John Greer it is stated that Smith Greer was born 3 Dec 1808." (Roy Eaton, 1996. Birth and death information for the children of John Greer from this Bible of John Greer.)
1850 Union Parish, Louisiana census, page 392, Dwelling/Family #610/610, taken 7 September 1850: Smith GREER, 42, m, Farmer, $200 real estate, Ky; Rebecca GREER, 37, f, Miss; Wiley GREER, 13, m, Miss; Mary GREER, 11, f, Miss; Isaac GREER, 6, m, Miss; Thomas GREER, 3, m, La. (NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: From information sent by Jewell Kennedy, Sulphur, Oklahoma, the information for Isaac and Thomas is reversed.)
(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: Could the following be this Smith Greer? Even though the age is 11 years off, it seems to be the only one I have that fits the locality and children. He is next door to Isaac Greer, the son of Smith Greer, born in 1808. Isaac's wife was a Clark, so there seems to be a connection between these families. It appears that Salina was Smith second wife. Could she have been married to a Clark and the children with them are her children by a first marriage? If he not this Smith Greer, then who is this Smith Greer?
1870 Grant Parish (adjacent to Rapides Parish), Louisiana, Colfax, 2W, page 101:
Smith GREER, 51, w, m, farmer, pers. est. $395, Kentucky; Salina C. GREER, 42, w, f, Keeping House, Mississippi; Emily GREER, 9, w, f, Louisiana; Jesse L. GREER, 5, w, m, Louisiana; Sarah A. CLARK, 16, f, La; Lournia CLARK, 15, f, La; Benjamin CLARK, 18, La. (For the time being, I am placing the Smith of this census as the son of John Greer. This may be incorrect.)
