Would there by chance be a mention of a Sarah Greer who married Joseph Ralston of Kings Creek early Brooke Co VA? We found Sarah listed in the 1850 census says she was 65 & born in MD, Beers history says she was from Harlem Springs Carroll Co OH.. can't find a marriage record on them? in Brooke or Ohio Co VA.. Thanks for any info you might find in this book on her.. also wondered about the Grier or Greir spelling of the name? Thanks for the posting on this book.
