About John Greer of Gunpowder River
A Patriot of the American Revolution for NORTH CAROLINA. DAR Ancestor #: A207815
"John Greer was evidently a man of some importance in Wilkes County, as he was appointed a Justice of the Peace at the first Court in March 1778 when the county was organized. The Justices constituted the county court and as such had charge of most all the administrative functions of the County in this time period.
"John Greer married Sarah Ann Elliott. Their marriage is recorded in St. John's Parish record, page 105." (Genealogical Chart of Richard L. Greer, Marion, Virginia, 1985.)
"John (Greer), born 1714 in Maryland; married Nancy Walker by 1737. Died Wilkes County, North Carolina 1782." (OUR GREER FAMILY HERITAGE, 1983, by Thomas H. Greer, 335 Minamontes Avenue, Half Moon Bay, California 94019, page 67.)
"John Greer, son of John and Sarah Greer, moved to Lunenburg County, Vriginia, paid poll taxes there 1750 - 52. He was granted land in Halifax County, Virginia in 1757. He married Ann ______ and they lived in Pittsylvania County, Virginia until 1771. We found him in Surry County, North Carolina where he paid Poll Tax in 1772. Wilkes County, North Carolina was formed from Surry County in 1778 and John lived there until he died in 1782. His will named these children: Aquilla, Ann Mitchell, Hannah DeMoss, John, Benjamin, Joshua and Jesse." (GREER FAMILY HISTORY, by Mrs. Ellen A. Fawcett, North Little Rock Arkansas.)
