after many years of searching for the origin of the greenberry name in u.s. i did find an author who stated col.nicolas from england with wife and two daughters and one son later transported another daughter.one son charles dieid without issue .now----in an"early history of st. margaret's church {!692-1792}"on pg. 6, it states from the register: The first entry reads: "Isach Hirst was borne the 15th of September 1686" "A Nicholas Greenberry, grandson of the Colonel, was born January 5th and baptised February 18, 1701." My problem is accepting as fact the statement that Charles Greenberry died without issue. This obviously is wrong else how did Nicholas Greenberry have a grandson with the same surname. Also, it seems odd that this did not come out sooner. Now the problem, did that grandson live to marry and have children? Which would certainly help to explain the proliferation of the Greenberry name. If so, whom did he marry? Help-help-help.
