The Family and Will of Benjamin Greer

At the age of 70, Benjamin Greer died October 23, 1816 in Green County, Kentucky.  He had moved to Kentucky in 1810 with his second wife.  Another source suggests he sold his land in Ashe County, North Carolina - formally Wilkes County - (where Gap Creek enters the South Fork of the New River) in 1803 and may have moved at that time.

Actually, We Were MacGregors, Griers, Griersons and More!

Scotland today is part of the United Kingdom, which includes Northern Ireland, Wales and England. The rising of King James VI of Scotland in 1603 to the throne of England bound the two nations together after centuries of strife and warfare. Scotland had been determined to maintain its independence, and England wanted no restless and fierce neighbor at its northern door.

Our Greer ancestry in Scotland begins officially with Hugh II, a King of Dalriada, a long disappeared chiefdom, probably in the lowlands not far from the Roman Emperor Hadrian's wall. In the 7th century A.D., England was being invaded by Angles, Saxons and Jutes, and were in no condition to threaten their northern Celtic kin known as Picts.
