William Jr. Greer
was born about 1732, Baltimore, Maryland and died 19 Sep 1802, Grant, Grayson County, Virginia. He was buried in the Pugh Cemetery in Grant, Virginia.
Actual date of birth is between 1727-1732. His will was probated in Grayson County, Virginia in October 1802.
The Greers were a Maryland family who moved along the Wagon Road to Henry Co., VA (later Franklin), then on to Mont. Co., VA. William Greer and his wife, Sarah Freeland G., and family moved from Franklin Co. into the New River Valley and settled on 95 acres on Wilson Creek (Grayson area) circa 1788 (see Heritage of Ashe Co., 274). This land was part of an original grant to James Walling and passed to his daughter, Mourning, who married James Anderson; they deeded it to William Greer on 04 Feb 1789. William Greer left a will, 1802; names wife Sarah, and issue: Shadrach, Aquilla, Elizabeth, Sarah, Rachel, and Hannah. The father, William, died 19 Sep 1802 and is buried in the Pugh Cemetery near Grant, VA. Aquilla inherited the home place and also purchased 400 acres that were on the Ashe Co. side of the line, on both sides of Grassy Creek; Fields states that was the earliest deed in the Grassy Creek area, 1816 (304). Shadrach was in Osborne's militia, and owned land on Wilson Creek, as did Aquilla G (tax list 1815). This shows that the New River Valley community encompassed both sides of the state line.
