The GREER FAMILY is LINKED on rootsweb,com by Sue Hosbach-Wilcox FAMILY TREE all the way to ADAM/EVE yes........

The GREER FAMILY is LINKED on findagrave.com with a couple of "deleted" memorials but it goes back to _____________

My family TWIG of the Greer...................................And SPOUSE

James Greer born Capenoch, Dumfries-Shire, Scotland and came to America

"6 Nov. 1674 a James Greer was sold to Samuel Gibbons, Master of the Batchelor of Bristol".

"This from a list of servants of Robt. Ridgely."

Our Grampa James lived, loved, married Ann TAYLOR and they had 1 son,

John, the same year his father died, 1688, on the property of Little Gunpowder Falls, Maryland. (some call him Jr. but I have yet to see the Jr. or the middle initial "G")

NOTE: the marriages-- GREER to a TAYLOR

" 6 June 1687 this is according to the will of Arthur Taylor, Ann's father. Arthur gave James & Ann 75 acres of land. --This does not give the date they were actually married. (THIS JAMES GREER WOULD HAVE BEEN 35 YEARS OLDER THAN ANN TAYLOR-but back in the day, it was done.)

My research has been able to LINK this GREER/TAYLOR both ways to my grandparents who married 224 years later/several states WEST...: Lulu E. Greer and Clarence Lee Taylor some of the links are NOT PROVEN with a source other than what is found on the rootsweb/ancestry sites.

JOHN GREER who married, Sarah Day had 10 children

three daughters (Ann, Sarah, and Elizabeth) /seven sons (James, William, Moses, John, Aquilla, Joseph, and Benjamin).

of these sons, 3 of them are LINKED on rootsweb/ancestry.com to be my g-g-g- grandfathers.

even though there are not many sources named, I truly believe that there are enough Researchers who :agree on the FAMILY TREES that indeed they are all 3 my g-g-g-g grandfathers, because one of their :children married a cousin...

SON #1= William Greer. who married Mary Ann Fitch and they had a

son, William Greer JR who married Sarah Freeland who had a

daughter, Elizabeth Greer-Greer who married a cousin,

James D. Greer son of SON #2- Benjamin Greer and Rachel Lowe

Elizabeth/James D. had a

son Ezekiel Greer SR who married Jemima Saunders daughter of his Uncle/Aunt Jemima Greer daughter of

SON #3- Joseph Greer and Ann Lowe sister to Rachel Lowe-Greer.

AND Ezekiel Greer SR/ Jemima Saunders had a

son Ezekiel Greer JR who married Mary Rhoda Poynter-Greer their

son Lemuel Cerwood Greer who married Adeline E. Manis their

Daughter Lulu E. Greer, my Carole Taylor gramma who married

Clarence Lee Taylor and their son,

Herschel Lofton Taylor my dad married

Eulene "Jerry" Puntenney my MOM and BFF and they had 3 of us....

Me, Carole, middle child

Research NOTES

A new site for me==History of the Irish People, by O'Connor The book is in two volumes. The first volume describes the history of the Gaels from prehistoric times up to their departure from Spain. The second volume describes their conquest of Ireland. Throughout, the text is written as if it is from authentic ancient texts, the content of which is commented upon and explained in detailed footnotes written in O'Connor's own person. 617 pg book

• "The Kingdom of Scotland emerged as an independent sovereign state in the Early Middle Ages and continued to exist until 1707.

By inheritance in 1603, James VI, King of Scots, became King of England and King of Ireland, thus forming a personal union of the three kingdoms."

• "Dál Riata (also Dalriada or Dalriata) was a Gaelic over kingdom that included parts of western Scotland and northeastern Ireland, on each side of the North Channel. In the late 6th–early 7th centuries, it encompassed roughly what is now Argyll in Scotland and County Antrim in the Irish province of Ulster."[1]
