This researcher is saying the children were born in Georgia. There is question, if in fact Sarah Greer-Maxey was laid to rest at this place.

familysearch.org nothing is found for John Maxey-1773-Va
not in Georgia either.....
No one of rootsweb has any data on Sarah Greer-Maxey after the Estate Sale of her husband in 1811.
Everyone seems to agree that Sally Maxey lived until the 1870 census. ???

From rootsweb.com Family TREE of Gene:
ROOKS-DODSON-MASSEY Ancestors
Note: John appeared on personal property tax lists of Franklin Co., VA from 1795 to 1802.
He joined in the migration to Georgia, purchasing 120 acres on Troublesome, a branch of Long Creek, in Oglethorpe Co.

It was apparently too much trouble, as they moved 3 years later to Clarke Co. where he established a plantation of 305 acres on Wild Cat Creek.

His will, proved Nov. 4, 1811 in Clark Co., and recorded Jan. 13, 1812 in Will Book, mentions wife Sally,
children Anne, who married Gideon KIMBELL,
Tigge, Fanny, Peggy, John Greer, and Mourning.
He stipulated that son John should have a 'good' education, and daughters Peggy and Mourning a 'common' education!

At his estate sale were his widow, brothers Josiah, Jeremiah and Edward, and daughter Anne. His estate included 19 gallons of brandy. His wife Sally bought 4, Anne bought 5, and Josiah bought the remaining 10.
Birth: 1773
_SDATE: 1 JUL 1773 in Bedford Co., VA
Death: OCT 1811
_SDATE: 15 OCT 1811 in Clarke Co., GA

Okay, IF John is still on the tax roles of Franklin Co. VA until 1802? How is it his daughter Anne is born in GA.?
So there are still questions regarding the Greer-Maxey family.
