I do not have any information on WILLIAM GREER and/or MARIAN COOK. I do have some information on the family of Miss Nannie FAULKNER, who is named as the wife of Acquilla GREER in the obituary listed below. She was a great grandaughter of my g g grandparents, Joseph and Mary Margaret (Houk) Smith. Would be happy to share.
