During the Revolution Greenberry served in the Third Company, Upper Battalion of the Montgomery County, Militia, (Source: Unpublished Militia Lists, Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore Press).
After the war he lived in Frederick County, Virginia. Later he moved to Kentucky, where he settled in Montgomery County,. His will dated July 3, 1844 was proved in the same year and mentions his wife Ann and his ten children. (Liber E.Folio 90, Montgomery Co. Kentucky Wills, Mt. Sterling)
His name is most interesting; there must be some relationships between the Howard family and the Riggs Family of Maryland as Edmund, his father, referred to Greenberry Howard as a kinsman.
Marriage source: Carolyn Weidner has place as Frederick County, Maryland. [Source: Greenberry's family bible owned by Ruth Mason Duncan, Rt. l, Bagdad, Kentucky. And sister, Hazel Mason Boyd, 123 Everett Ct., Mt. Sterling, Kentucky 40353, who has her grandmothers notes.
When migrating west Anna was carrying baby, Charlotte, in her arms when crossing a stream by horseback. She lost her hold and baby fell! On reaching the opposite shore they found that the baby had caught its fingers in Ann's shawl and was safe. [Notes from Broderbund WFT, Vol. 9, Tree 2985] | Riggs, Greenbury (I6954)

Eleanor must have been her mother's "right hand" during her growing up years. She was a good student in Springboro High School hoping to attend Normal School in Lebanon and prepare to be a teacher. Money was not available for her to continue her education. She did housework, clerked in Fred's Dry Goods Store in Lebanon, and apprenticed herself to two seamstresses to learn dressmaking.
After her marriage, she became a capable hostess for groups touring the French Bros. Dairy in Lebanon, Ohio. She was an excellent manager, cook and seamstress; a flower lover and grower, a helpful neighbor and a loving older sister. Not having children of their own, Charles and Eleanor reared the young son of a friend of the family, Richard Irons.
Due to heavy work during her youth, Eleanor did not enjoy the best of health. She, nevertheless, lived as a proud lady to the age of 88 years. [Source: Laura E.

Elizabeth Mary (Guthrie) Riggs
Mrs. Elizabeth (Guthrie) Riggs, daughter of Truman and Hannah Guthrie, was born Aug. 24, 1828, at Newbury, Washington Co., O., and departed this life Jan 11th, 1916, at the age of 87 years 4 months and 17 days.
When eight years of age her parents emigrated to Gallia County, O., moving their household goods and lumber for a house on a flat boat down the Ohio river to the farm where J. L. McDaniel now resides.
There he built a home and reared a family of 7 children of whom Mrs. Riggs was the eldest. Mrs. J. L. McDaniel, the youngest sister of Mrs. Riggs survives her. She was converted at the age of eleven and united with the Clay Chapel M. E. Church.
She was united in marriage to the late Hon. Jacob Riggs in the year 1848, and they began their married life on the farm near Raccoon Island which E. J. Riggs now owns and where they lived for 22 years, then moving to their present home they completed a pleasant and Holy union of nearly 68 years.
To them were born 8 children, 5 of whom are still living who with one sister, seven grand-children and a host of friends are left to mourn the loss of mother, besides the 8 children she raised and educated two grandchildren and one niece and her home sheltered many orphan children..
In the history of Clay Chapel she has been worthily called Dorcas for such has been her influence in the church and in the world that many will mourn for her as they did for Dorcas of Joppa, and wish that Peter were here to restore her to life.
Mother Riggs possessed all the noble traits of character, charitable, modest, kind and meek and cheerful, ever in the midst of sorrows she was patient, and faithful to the end. | Guthrie, Elizabeth Mary (I6977)

Enos Lackey, farmer; P. O. Lebanon; was born in Clear Creek Township, Warren County, Ohio, Oct. 21, 1802; he is the son of Richard and Sarah (Harlan) Lackey, the latter being a native of South Carolina; his father emigrated to Ohio in 1796, and settled in Clear Creek Township, where he remained until the breaking-out of the war of 1812, when he enlisted and soon afterward rendered up his life--a sacrifice to his country. Our subject received no other education than was afforded by the log schoolhouse and country schoolmaster of pioneer days. He has been a farmer from his earliest days until recently, when he retired from active labor; he commenced life by working out, and was soon enabled to rent a farm, after which he bought a small farm and continued adding to it until he owned 400 acres; he has amassed a comfortable competency, which he is fully enjoying in his advanced age. He was married, in 1823 to Martha Irvin, who was born in Hamilton County, Ohio, Sept. 9, 1806; her father was also a soldier in the war of 1812. They have had fourteen children, who were, at one time, all alive and married, but of whom only nine now survive. Mr. and Mrs. Lackey are both members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he has for some time been an officer; they are both models of the honest, open-hearted and hospitable pioneer farmers, whose record for Christian integrity is above question. | Lackey, Enos (I7814)

Excerpt from letter.....
.....I was very pleased to receive the Clark history and have read it with much interest. It clears up much that I did not know.
.....I would guess that Minnie Becker and her daughters, Mabel and Philoma, visited at Grandpa Clarks farm in 1908 or 1909. I was visiting at the farm all that summer, or rather working there, as I can recall plowing the tall corn in the bottom land; taking big fat green worms off the tobacco plants; raking hay during which I raked through some bumble-bee nests and they got in my hair and up the legs of my overalls; plus many of the other things that have to be done on a farm.
.....When the two Becker girls came - their mother came a little later - I was assigned the pleasant task of driving into Gallipolis to meet them with a two seater buggy with no top, pulled by a roan mare. One of the girls started to drive to the farm and the mare wanted to stop to get rid of some water. The girl kept urging the mare on until I finally said "Aw, let her stop," whereupon the three of us had a front row seat for the waterfall. The girls were much embarrassed and giggled much for the next mile. Mabel, the older sister is the one who married a Doheny. Philoma married a Bernet of Cleveland, whose father was president of an eastern railroad. Philoma's husband was president of some interstate truck line. We saw this couple several times in Cleveland. Philoma called at our house in 1929, when my mother was with us.
.....The Hope girl, who visited the Riggs that same summer, was named Smith, I think, and I recall hearing it said that her father was a Senator. Somehow that summer, someone had a steam launch, which was used by the three girls and others including me, for picnics and expeditions. On occasion all the young folks went swimming, and the girls' swim costumes were strictly early 1900, middy blouses, pantaloons, stockings and shoes, the latter of which kept sticking in that good Ohio River mud.

EXCERPT FROM LETTER.....
I remember, as a child, going by horse and buggy from Xenia to Jamestown with your Grandfather Randolph and spending the night at your Great Great Grandfather Owen Sellers. I recall on this visit going to a field near a pond and your Grandfather Randolph would walk very handily on his hands, and I remember trying the same trick a good many times thereafter, but never reached the perfection that your Grandfather Randolph had in balancing himself and walking on his hands. Great Uncle Owen Sellers was a Methodist Minister at Jamestown at the time of this is it. The last time I saw your Grandfather Randolph was at my father's funeral, and he appeared to be in very poor health at that time. I also met your father, Robert, at the same time. One of the things I remember about your Grandfather Randolph was that he was in Germany with a college roommate at the time World War I broke out, and that he was arrested twice as a spy before he got out of Germany. Randolph and his friend went into Belgium and across the battlefield Liege just a short time before the Germans made their attack.
Another thing which has rolled through my mind and probably you can set me straight, your Grandfather Randolph Sellers, as I recall, was the business manager of the properties of Senator Nicholas Longworth, who was Alice Roosevelt's husband; or could it have been the Taft family. Of course, it is hard for me to keep all these things straight in my memory since actually I have been away from home since I was bout eighteen years of age; that is, counting the time I was in school at Carnegie Tech in Pittsburgh, and then we have been here in Mount Airy since April 16, 1926; and the things that Dad used to write in his letters, etc. never was quite as clear and stayed in your memory as when you were at home and you were in personal contact with some of the relatives and remember some of the happenings.

About my grandfather's war experiences: In 1914, he visited Europe with a Louis Carnash. That June, at the time of the Austrian Archduke's assassination, he and Carnash were in Prague, Austria. Many Serbians at the time were poisoning Austrian wells. The Austrians took no Chances. They seized the two Americans. When it was found that grandfather and Carnash carried no passports, the two were imprisoned in a glass factory. Execution seemed likely. They were reprieved only when an uncle of Carnash swore on the Bible that they were Americans, intending no harm. When the United States entered the war in 1917 my grandfather volunteered for service. A weight of 117 pounds was required of such men. Grandfather weighed on 112. He was, nevertheless, able to render services by managing the Y.M.C.A. on a military base in Ohio.
I do not believe that grandfather Randolph managed the properties of Longworth or Taft. I know that he studied real-estate practices and when he came to Cincinnati in 1931, he became Executive Secretary of the Property Owners' Association. He became intimately acquainted with the late Senator of Ohio Robert A. Taft, President Taft's son. Also he knew the late Governor Myers Y. Cooper, who was in the real-estate business.
In 1915 Randolph Sellers married my grandmother, Henrietta Augustina Beecher. They had two children: my father, Robert Beecher Sellers, was born in 1922. My Aunt, Mary Elizabeth Sellers was born in 1930. It is not true that Dad was the first to take pictures of Dakow prison camp, although he was in Berchtesgarten, Hitler's home, at the war's end and obtained some very valuable souvenirs. One of them, a plaque containing the Nazi emblem, taken off Hitler's personal car and the only one of its type in the world, proved such an appealing souvenir that it was stolen from my father one night as he slept.
In 1948 Robert Sellers married my mother, Ruth Fairchild Rei. I was born on their first wedding anniversary in June 1949. I have a younger brother Richard, 15, and a sister, Ruth Ann, 8, so that makes five of us you can expect. By the way, my middle name is Randolph.
