Individual Details

Elizabeth Barton

( - )

(NOTE FROM RALPH TERRY: Elizabeth is shown as a child of John Greer on a list of Myrtle Johnson, 705 Old Orchard Road, Bel Air, Maryland 21014 and in GREERS THAT GOT TO GEORGIA by Julian Greer, 1989, probably based on the marriage of "Elizabeth Greer to Jacob Davice on 8 October 1750." Carolyn Beal in ROYAL HERITAGE OF THE GREERS, page 125 says, "James' widow, Elizabeth Wright Greer may be the individual mentioned in St. John's Parish Records, page 193 ... "Elizabeth Greer married February 6, 1754 to Jacob Davies." " Other researchers do not show Elizabeth to have been a child of John Greer. In BALTIMORE COUNTY FAMILIES 1659 - 1759, by Robert W. Barnes, page 160, "Jacob Davis (Davice or Davies) married Elizabeth (?) and had issue: Sarah, born 6 October 1746; Elizabeth, born 31 March 1750; Mary, born 10 July 1755 (131:154/r)." This would indicate they married before 1746, therefore both the 1750 or 1754 dates would have been too late for them to have had a child in wedlock in 1746. It is possible this Elizabeth Greer was the widow of James Greer, whose married name would have been "Elizabeth Greer." However, the wife of James Greer for this genealogy will be as shown in BALTIMORE COUNTY FAMILIES, 1659 - 1759 by Robert W. Barnes, pages 505 - 506.)
