JANE F. GREER, MARTHA GREER, W.E. GREER, WILL ROB GREER, ALLENE GREER. 1840S 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 Obion 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. 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. 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 Janes brother, William was the father of these children. JANE GREER married HUGH COOK BROWNLOW about 1872, probably in, or around Obion County TN. Family legend is that Jane died after 1885 and before 1890 . About 1890 Hugh Cook Brownlow migrated to TX. Janes 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.

Genealogist's Christmas Eve 'Twas the night before Christmas When all through the house Not a creature was stirring, Not even my spouse. The dining room table with clutter was spread With pedigree charts and with letters which said... "Too bad about the data for which you wrote; Sank in a storm on an ill-fated boat." Stacks of old copies of wills and such Were proof that my work had become too much. Our children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And I at my table was ready to drop >From work on my album with photos to crop. Christmas was here, and such was my lot That presents and goodies and toys I'd forgot. Had I not been busy with grandparents' wills, I'd not have forgotten to shop for such thrills, While others bought gifts to bring Christmas cheers, I'd spent time researching those birth dates and years. While I was thus musing about my sad plight, A strange noise on the lawn gave me such a great fright. Away to the window I flew in a flash, Tore open the drapes and yanked up the sash. When what with my wondering eyes should appear, But an overstuffed sleigh and eight small reindeer. Up to the house top the reindeer they flew, With a sleigh full of toys and 'ole Santa Claus, too. And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of thirty-two hoofs. As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash, Down the cold chimney fell Santa--KER-RASH! "Dear" Santa had come from the roof in a wreck, And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!) Spotting my face, good 'ole Santa could see I had no Christmas spirit you'd have to agree. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work And filled all the stockings, (I felt like a jerk). Here was Santa, who'd brought us such gladness and joy: When I'd been too busy for even one toy. He spied my research on the table all spread "A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!) "Tonight I've met many like you," Santa grinned, As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned. I gazed with amusement--the cover it read Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Plead. "I know what it's like as a genealogy bug." He said as he gave me a great Santa hug. "While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry, I do some research in the North Pole Library! A special treat I am thus able to bring, To genealogy folk who can't find a thing." "Now off you go to your bed for a rest, I'll clean up the house from this genealogy mess." As I climbed up the stairs full of gladness and glee, I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me. While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle, To his team, which then rose like the down of a thistle. And I heard him exclaim as he flew out of sight, "Family history is Fun! Merry Christmas! Goodnight!" --Author Unknown TNOBION-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > Subject: > > TNOBION-D Digest Volume 02 : Issue 66 > > Today's Topics: > #1 [TNObion] cemetery records [bmaynard@utm.edu] > #2 [TNObion] mary(mollie)pate taylor [jbraden@grnco.net] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from TNOBION-D, send a message to > > TNOBION-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.
