William (born 1843) married Letticia McIvor (Roman Catholic) and settled at Tievena. He had 10 children at Tievena. We think that the family worshiped at Stewartstown (not their nearest Presbyterian church). However in a land dispute with Mary Ann Carsonn his cousin he was forced to sell his land to pay the costs. He then moved to Tamlaght, Kildress Parish in 1899.

His family.

Nothing more is known of the rest of Williams siblings.

Mary Ann Carson appears not to have married, and when she died in 1907 the land passed onto ?????

David Greer didn't marry either and although he visited America he eventually return and spent the last years of his life as the minister at Cavanleck Presbyterian Church. (More Information)

 
James Greer DOB based on age in letter - age 85 in 1860. The letter also links the two sides of the Greer family together, and that he died after 1860    
Not sure why we think he had two wives.    
Nancy Greer (James's daughter) Not sure where we get the DOB from    
  She married Robert Carson and had a daughter Mary Ann Carson    
  DOD from Arbitration document?
