    3. I have a question regarding the use of Sr. and Jr.. Was this always father and son, or was it ever a practice for an uncle to use Sr. when he had a nephew named for him? Also, I have a Washington Co. Montgomery family that gave many of their children surnames as middle names. I see no family connections, and wonder if it was a custom to name a child for a friend. While I'm on the subject of names, does anyone know where the name Greenberry came from? I was puzzled by the number of people named Lorenzo Dow Something until I learned Mr. Dow was a well known travelling evangelist. Sue McNaught
