"Isaac Greer and his wife Nancy Norris were born in Ashe Co. and I believe most of their children were as well. Phillip Greer and his wife Mary Greer were also born in Ashe County. Some of their children were born in Pike Co., KY, but the whole family moved back to Watauga Co. (NC) where Phillip and Mary died. They're buried at the Zionville Baptist Church Cemetery.--Mary Floy Katzman"
This is a copy of a letter I got from someone years ago. My copy is a typed transcript.
