Members of this family can take great pride in their Greer ancestors. They were courageous settlers, soldiers, public servants, missionaries, farmers, ranchers, and good parents. They pioneered several frontiers on this continent. From the eastern seaboard, they moved on to Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and then on to Utah, Arizona, and Wyoming. George M. Crosby Jr, an acquaintance of many of the early Greers, once wrote:
The early Greers were real people, the kind that make nations great and become the real sinews of the world's best governments ... They had honor, learning, patriotism, and hearts warm with friendship. May the young make family traditions good.
Nathaniel Hunt Greer died on St. John's Day, June 24, 1855. On St. John's Day 1995, 140th anniversary of his passing, the Nathaniel Hunt Greer Family Organization held its organizational gathering and first reunion in St. Johns, Arizona — where many of the early Arizona Greers lived. The descendants of Nathaniel Hunt Greer and Nancy Ann Terry Roberts now number in the thousands, living throughout the United States.
Although this organization is now dormant, we gladly acknowledge that it came into being because of the efforts of Thad Greer who, serving as the initial president, was the guiding force behind its formation. Thad, thank you for your selfless dedication and unwavering concern for family, tradition, and history.
All NHG descendants and their spouses are invited to help keep the memories alive by contributing to this web site. To do so, please contact The Greer Way West.
