JAMES GREER Sr.and ELIZABETH PIERCE
lived in Stewart Co,TN in 1807 Per:
Stewart Co,Tn Deed Book C.
242 Benjamin JAMES to William BETHEA, 133.3a on headwaters of
WELLS Creek, adj. John SEAL’s S boundary, Enoch JAMES’ SW corner,
path leading from Benjamin JAMES to Enoch JAMES; wit: Jesse BROWN,
"JAMES GREER"; 22 Sep 1807
**************
"RICHMOND COUNTY, NC - CENSUS - 1790 Fayette District"
GREER, GEORGE, 2,0,4,0,0
GREER, JAMES, 1,0,1,0,0
PEARCE(Pierce), REBECCA, 0,2,4,0,0
We believe this to be our JAMES GREER, and his father,GEORGE GREER and
And that REBECCA PEARCE to be the mother of ELIZABETH (Pierce) GREER.
Other families living near by:Alexander McRAE, James WATSON,
Enoch JAMES, McGILL family,COTTINGHAM family,GREEN family
ALLEN family, McKENZIE family
and others, this leads me to believe that this is the same JAMES GREER
because, all these families ended up in Stewart Co and Benton Co,TN.
as did JAMES GREER and ELIZABETH PIERCE ***********
*********** "GREER sons BORN IN KY" **************
I have solved the problem of why the three eldest sons of James and Elizabeth Greer was stated in the census as being born in KY.
Where they were living, in what is today Stewart Co,TN, but at the time the children was born
it was NORTH of the Walker line which would make it be in KY
The present line of TN now includes that area of KY
George Greer born 1794 at this date it was Logan Co,KY
John P Greer born 1796 at this date it was Christian Co,KY
William Greer born 1797 at this date it was Livingston Co,KY
