Mr. Eller:

As a part-time genealogist and a member of the Eller family I have put off until now joining the Eller Family Association. it was the recent gift of Volume VII, Number 1 of "The Eller Chronicles" that has prompted me to join.

The article entitled "Eller Families of Wilkes County, NC: Descendants of James Madison and Nancy Louise (Vannoy) Eller" is my concern. While I have in the past read on occasion "The Chronicles" at the Wilkes Public Library I was surprised to receive a copy from my grandmother Ruby Lee Eller Greer. She had been telling us that she was getting a copy of a book that her brother Clinton had done some research for based on corrections made to Aunt Nora's earlier work. Much to my disappointment corrections and/or additions to the work were not complete. I was pleased to read a call for more information and corrections. Therefore I have included additions to the work that include the only child of Ruby Lee Eller (*30), daughter of John Grover Eller (*12), son of James Madison Eller.

While other information has been left out and mistakes have been made based on the original work it is my hope that other family members will take it upon themselves to supply the proper information.

Briefly then I believe the entry for my grandmother should be:

(see p. 22, vol. VII (1) )
30. . Ruby Lee Eller, b. 2 August 1913, daughter of John Grover Eller and Beatrice Jones; m. 8 May 1930, Joseph Frederick Greer. He died 24 April 1933. One child. M. July 1946, Clayton Greer. He died 12 December 1974.

    Child of Ruby Lee Eller and Joseph Frederick Greer:

  • ###. i. Billy Joe Greer, b' 28 July 1931; m. 30 July 1951, Clara Ruth Reeves. Three children.

      Children of Billy Joe Greer and Clara Ruth Reeves:

    • ###. a. Clara Jo Greer, b. 5 August 1952; m. 7 August 1970, Thomas Herman Earp. one child, Stuart Earp, b. 8 February 1974. Divorced 1977.
    • ###. b. Sylvia Diane Greer, b. 26 April 1954; m. 12 April 1974, Johnny Anthony Childress.
    • ###. c. Charles Alan Greer, b. 17 February 1959; m. 10 July 1982, Lea Ann Walsh. one child, Julia Caroline Greer, b. 4 August 1988.
Please find enclosed my check in the amount of $15.00 to cover my annual dues. I have also included charts from my research with the numbers corresponding to the article's entered by hand for my grandmother, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather. I look forward to receiving future issues of "The Eller Chronicles."

Sincerely,
Charles Greer
