Jackie, <Was Greer's Tavern named after, or owned by a Greer?  My Greer line has as the first one in the colonies, a James Greer/Grier.> I have to assume Greer's Tavern was named after or owned by a Greer as well as being so obviously known at the time as to be a reference point in a deed and that's another reason I needed to know where the tract Yorkshire is, which John and Liz were kind to locate near Newark, Worcester County.  I have a Greer line via Sophia Greer who married Lazarus Maddux (d. 1786), so of course was wondering which relative may have had that tavern.  Sophia's grandfather, John Greer, gave a deposition for James Round's boundary commission on Collickmore and Bletchinghurst in 1724 so I have to assume he lived near those tracts, which I did not know until yesterday were in or near Newark.  Thanks again, John Lyon.   John Greer's son, Henry, patented the tract Florida in 1753 which is in the Pocomoke Forest, home of my ancestors for centuries on both sides of Dividing Creek.  It never occurred to me (duh) that the Greers may have been from some other part of Worcester County as I don't have much information on them.  But now that I know John might have been from around Newark, maybe I can figure out the identity of his wife Ursula (d. 1749) who was a widow Midgely.  John Greer's inventory was appraised by Lodowick Fleming, so I had just assumed John lived in his neighborhood.   I think this is why I find family history so enthralling.  I'm always learning something new and it's never "finished."   Where was your James Greer located?   Becky
