| Notes |
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the Revolution Greenberry served in the Third Company, Upper Battalion of the Montgomery County, Militia, (Source: Unpublished Militia Lists, Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore Press).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]
