CQB60Bought some land in Greer, SC
I like Ga Gator's version better too!quote:Originally posted by MitchbSC:quote:Originally posted by CQB60:
Greer was named for James Manning Greer, whose ancestry traces from Scotland, through Ireland. Many of his descendants still reside in the region. James Manning Greer was a descendant of John Greer, Sr. who surveyed his land in Laurens County in 1750. John and his family were already in Laurens County, prior to the Greer passengers who arrived aboard the ship The Falls in 1764. John Greer's family settled at Duncans Creek between that Creek and the Enoree River and close to Duncan's Creek Presbyterian Church. John, Sr.'s great grandson James Manning Greer settled his family near Greenville in an area that eventually became Greer's Station.
Cool story bro.
Even though you speaketh the trooth, GA Gator is still plausible with "Gr-ocery n b-eer Greer ". I live at the top of the hill outside Columbia where Mr. Iredell and Mr. Moseley watered and coaled steam engines before Circle K slushied and hot-dog fed the rest of us. Iredell. Moseley. This here theme park without a theme (or a town center) is named Irmo.
