My Greer line
Jesse Wade GREER (1876 TX- 1950 MA, m. Dee SWINT),
Wade H GREER (1843 GA - 1886 TX, m Susan Gertrude
STARNES),
Edmund GREER (1806 GA - 1881 TX, m. Permelia MOSLEY), and his father may have been
William GREER (1779 TN - 1865 GA, m. Martha "Patsy" PETERS).
William and Patsy being the parents of Young Taylor GREER, who had plenty of descendents.
Any connections with your GREERs?
 

Seeking descendents of Susan GREER (born 1836 in GA) and
Wilson BAXTER (born about 1832). They were married 3 Mar 1853
in Chambers Co. AL, and appear in the 1860 census of Gilmer TX
with three children: William BAXTER age 6 born GA, Mary BAXTER
age 3 born GA, and Sarah BAXTER age 1 born TX.
 
 

I'm looking for descendents of  John PETEIT age 33 born in GA,
Permelia Peteit age 26 born in GA, and Mary Peteit age 10 born in
TX. This family appears in the 1870 census of Upshur Co, TX,
precinct 5.  I suspect that Permelia Peteit's maiden name may have been GREER, but no data to prove it.
 

Seeking  parents of Permelia MOSLEY, born 6 May 1812 in GA,
and married Edmund GREER on 20 Sept 1827 in Morgan Co. GA.
