Since I had ancestors in early Bedford County, I have been wading through
the boxes of Bedford County "Court Judgments" which are original records
kept at the Library of Virginia Records Center. In Box 18 (1764) I found a
court case in which a John Greer sued William Boner for payment for the
services which Greer had provided him, like: "mending a Pair of Shoos and
finding Lether, one Pair of Mockensons, one Pair of Turned Pumps, one Pair
of fine Yarn Stockens, etc." Greer also hired out horses.
 
I thought that the Greer family would like to know that a John Greer was a
Cobbler in Bedford County and to view one of his account statements with his
signature. You may view it at this link:
