CHARLES S. GREER was born in the western part of Barren County, July 9,
1807, where he was reared to manhood.  In 1834 he removed to Knoxville,
Ill., where he was engaged as a mechanic until 1840, when he returned to
Barren County, Ky., where he has since resided. His father, Aquila
Greer, Jr., a native of South Carolina, removed to Kentucky in pioneer
times, and died in Barren County, in 1829, at the age of sixty-five
years.  He was the son of Aquila Greer, Sr., of South Carolina, a
Revolutionary soldier, who removed to Kentucky in an early day. He lived
in forts, fought Indians, and was severely wounded by them in the
shoulder and mouth, losing several teeth by a bullet from a rifle shot.
He died about 1818, aged ninety-two years.  Aquila, Jr., married
Eleanor, daughter of Charles Pitts, and their offspring are Isaiah,
Charles S., James M., and Shrewsberry (deceased). C. S. Greer has been
twice married; first, September 23, 1829, to Nancy, daughter of Benjamin
and Sally (Haley) Hendricks, of Barren County. She was born in 1810,
died February 28, 1869; and to them were born Elizabeth (Hodge), Louisa
(deceased), Josephine (deceased), Julia (Talley), Samuel V., Isadora
(Amos), Melvina (deceased), John (deceased), John M. and Newton M. Mr.
Greer next married, November 19, 1869, Rhoda, daughter of Robert and
Rhoda (Long) Ground, of Warren County. She was born April 25, 1815.
Until 1840 Mr. Greer was successfully engaged in cabinet, coffin, and
chair-making.  He has since then followed farming, and has 120 acres of
well improved and productive land in a good state of cultivation.  He
has long been an active member of the Christian Church, and in politics
is a Democrat.
