    3. I am looking for any lead available for a Rev. Henry Greer, b. abt. 1829 in Claiborne Co. TN. He married Mary Ann Shelton abt. 1850 in Claiborne or Grainger Co. TN, where they are listed in the 1860 census. 1860 Claiborne Co. TN census: 1107 - 1107 Greer, Henry 31 Tenn. Greer, Mary A. 26 Tenn Greer Elizabeth 9 Greer, Sarah 7 Greer, Wm. 5 Greer, John 3 Greer, Andrew J. 3/12 ************* Henry and family migrated to Lee Co. VA sometime after the 1860 census. Henry is believed to have been a minister in both TN and VA. Note that son Henry H. below was born in Claiborne Co. TN and George W. was b. in Lee Co. VA. This means that Henry and Mary A. moved from TN to VA abt. 1865. Henry supposedly died abt. 1868/9 , near or just after the birth of their last child.. The reason is unknown. 1870 Lee Co. VA census, Jonesville ED, hh 521-534 Greer, Mary A. 35 keeping house, $150, Claiborne Co. TN Greer, Mary E. (Elizabeth) 18, TN Greer, Sarah J. (H?) 17 TN Greer, William J. 14 TN Greer, John M. 12 TN (John Matt) Greer, Andrew J. 10 TN Greer, Henry H, 6 TN Greer, George W. 4, Lee Co. VA Greer, Francis 2, Lee Co. VA After Henry died abt. 1868/9, the family is supposed to have dispersed, some staying in Lee Co. VA and others going to Hancock Co. TN. I have found no trace of Mary A as yet, but know she died sometime before 1907. I found no Greers in the 1880 Lee Co. census, at least for the two ED comprising Jonesville. Any lead at all appreciated -- possibly names of churches active at that time in Jonesville. Duane Mills Stavanger, Norway
