NOTE: it does not appear to this Researcher that the family ever moved from Tennessee. So unless David traveled to North Carolina on business or something???????
Barbara and the kids were still living in Tennessee in 1880.
There is no source found to prove the date/place of death, North Carolina, his last known residence was Johnson Tennessee...............

Citing this Record

The censuses tell me that David S. Greer, husband of Barbary either deserted the family, or passed away about 1862 just after Jefferson Davis was born.

1870 P.O. Wards Iron Works, Johnson, Tennessee
And now there is a "Davis" listed as being born 1862??? and no David born 1859???
Appears that the baby David, and her husband David passed away?????????????
Age 43
Her husband David is not listed as Head of House
So it appears that Barbara is Widowed.........
Birth Year (Estimated) 1827
Birthplace Virginia
