I don't think people who were about in West Tennessee in 1784 were using tombstones.

Chris, We may be researching the same GREER family. Your William & my Jane may be brother and sister. Please read my posting. This is everything I know about my Greer ancestors. I am very interested in the information you have on John Greer/Grear. Thank you for taking time to read and respond if you have a link. Mr. Leland Carter PO Box 162 Fruitvale, TX 75127 Van Zandt CountyTexas JANE F. GREER, MARTHA GREER, W.E. GREER, WILL ROB GREER, ALLENE GREER. 1840' S TN Seeking information on the parents/family of JANE F. GREER b 1854. Also seeking to know the date/place of her marriage & where she is buried. The earliest record I have regarding my great-grandmother, JANE F. GREER, is the 1870 Gibson County TN Census. She was 16. Her mother, MARTHA, age 35 is listed as the head of household, and WILLIAM age 18 is listed as son. All are documented as born in TN. 1880: Martha Greer is listed in the Obion County (Kenton) TN, living in household with Hugh & Jane Brownlow. Census documents Martha's parents were both born in TN. Living a few doors away, in the PRICE household is William Greer, single age 23, occupation Barber. I believe this is Jane's brother. A younger relative was ALLENE GREER. We found a photo of an infant with "ALLENE GREER" written on back. No dates. Another younger relative was WILL ROB GREER. We found a photo made in LEWISBURG TN of a boy about a year old. Probably pre-1890. We believe Jane's brother, William was the father of these children. JANE GREER married HUGH COOK BROWNLOW about 1872, probably in, or around Obion County TN. A W.E. GREER, witnessed a Brownlow family Last Will & Testament. The Will, dated April 03, 1882, OBION COUNTY TN, was witnessed by E.H. TAIDALE, W.E.GREER, THOMAS L. MOSLEY, and H.T.FULLERTON, MD. Family legend is that Jane died after 1885 and before 1890 . About 1890 Hugh Cook Brownlow migrated to TX. Jane's mother, Martha, also came to Texas with Hugh and the 4 children. The children of JANE F. GREER and HUGH COOK BROWNLOW were: Nettie Lorraine Brownlow, Fanny Brownlow, Henry Frank Brownlow and Mattie Francis Brownlow. All born in TN before 1890. =========================================================================

Hello, I have a question. At Spring Hill Cemetery there is a stone that is appr. 6 inches square and 4 1/2 feet tall. There is an inscription on one side that reads Lum Kinton Died MCH 784 AGE 35 Can anyone give a meaning of the MCH 784 except March 1784?? It looks to me as this is all of the letters that will fit on the width of stone. Thanks Barry
