CAGE and GREER of Texas

Nancy Bethia GREER was the daughter of Eli GREER/GRIER and Mariah STUBBS. She was born in Georgia in about 1832. The family moved to Texas in the 1840s. Nancy's only brother, Jackson, took his mother's family name, for some unknown reason, but Nancy kept the GREER name until she married Benjamin CAGE in about 1852.

Benjamin CAGE was a widower with two children, Sarah and Thomas, by his first marriage to Mary STEWART, who died in 1851. He and Nancy had four sons: Phillip, in about 1852; Benjamin, Jr., in about 1854; Eli, in about 1857; and William, in about JAN or FEB 1860. In 1860 they lived in DeWitt County, Texas. In 1870 and 1880, they were in Blanco County. By 1900, the boys were spread out in other counties.

This is the first entry in the continuing quest to find and catalog all the descendants of Nancy and Benjamin. I welcome all input. This research is being conducted for and with Gary Crosby of Arizona, a descendant of Nancy's brother Jackson (GREER) STUBBS.
