From Carole Conrad Creator of f-a-g
"Some accounts give Isaac and Polly Greear's place of marriage as Smyth County, Virginia.

"The information about the ancestors and descendants of Isaac and Mary Greear was taken from a Bible belonging to Amanda Greear who married Lilburn Fulton, who lived in Madison, West Virginia.

The Bible is presently in the possession of her daughter, Mrs. Ray Sherwood, 26 Turley Avenue, Madison, West Virginia 25130; copied by Glenn C. Roberts, 2097 Superior Avenue, South Charleston, West Virginia 25303." (Mrs. Earl McFadden, 439 North 30 Street, Quincy, Illinois 62301.)"

Greer-4059 and Greer-1493 appear to represent the same person because: This merge was removed, but I am adding merge request back. If you look at the Sources from FindAGrave on each profile you will realize that they are directed to the same Issac Greer. The later made profile isn't listing a wife but is listing a daughter and the sources show her as a daughter to Issac and Mary (Polly). Please proceed with merge to eliminate this duplicate in the system
