History: The Greevers trace their origin to Philip Greever, born in the mid 1740s probably in Germany (or, alternatively, in MD to Philip Ernst Gruber, an earlier immigrant from Germany), who in the second half of the 18th century came to VA and settled in Washington County. In VA he married Margaret Bosang, the daughter of David Bosang, who died in 1777 and whose will mentions Philip Gruber, Jr, as his son-in-law.
