May 1839 Conway Co. AR Mary LEWIS b. ABT 1826 Rev. Amos Greer, their son, (Thomas and Sibina) was born here. This is perhaps the earliest birth record within the present limits of Conway County. Amos Greer spent his entire life in this county as one of its most noble and public-spirited citizens. He was a successful farmer, and an extensive stock dealer. He improved several farms and was an excellent manager of general affairs. Many years of his life were earnestly and sincerely devoted to the ministry in the M. E. Church, South. Mr. Greer was united in marriage in May, 1839, to Mary Lewis, who was also a native of Conway County, where she still resides, and is now about fifty-six years of age, and for many years has led an earnest Christian life, being a member of the same church in which her husband was held in such high esteem. Her parents, George and Rachel Lewis, were perhaps natives of Nashville, Tenn., and were also among the first settlers of what is now Conway County, where it is probable they spent their remaining years. Rev. Amos Greer died February 26, 1874
