General Notes: Husband - William Greer

---

He was born and reared in Ireland. Emigrating about the time he became of age, he settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he was afterward married. About the year 1805, he and his family (a child having been born in Lancaster County) pushed westward into Washington County, locating near Noblestown, where they remained until 1836. They then removed to Hopewell township, and in 1845 settled in West Middletown, where he died. William Greer is described as a man of medium height, and of delicate rather than robust form. His constitution being shattered by the effects of fever and ague, he was an invalid for many years, but was cheerful and patient, having a kind dis-position and a pleasant word for all. He was very modest in demeanor, and withheld himself from publicity, but was very active in promoting church matters, holding membership in the Grove United Presbyterian Church. He was a man of unusual intelligence, and an insatiable searcher for infor-mation. Being for many years unable to work, he found his chief diversion in books, and his solace and comfort in his family and church.
