"I recently found out that Garret Greer's father was Vincent (Vinson) Greer. He died in 1829 in Madison County, Tennessee when Garret was 8 years old. Vincent's widow was Martha Greer. His (possible) sister was Emily Greer. I was told that Patsy Garret was Garret's mother." (Kelli Staples, 2012 Waterside Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas 72116-9326, email: kmstapl@hotmail.com>.
