Research Notes

• Possible father is Andrew Greer who died in Smith, Tennessee about 1822. See his transcribed Will at Tennessee, U.S., Wills and Probate Records, 1779-2008 for Andrew Greer, Smith Will Records, Vol 1-3, 7-8, 1803-1896. https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/4021981:9176?tid=&pid=&queryId=047a62ac-08a4-4321-a812-2d3fda698435&_phsrc=zFO171&_phstart=successSource . The index is in error, but Record at pages 17-18 shows Andrew's heirs as Matilda G. Wilson, Margery W/ Greer. Joseph A Greer, Archibald Greer, Mary V. Pickett, Ruth T. McNeill and Andrew Greer [Jr.?] These are likely his children.
