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
