From "Sequatchie Families", by James L. Douthat:

The Greer family of Sequatchie Valley trace their ancestry back to the time of the Scottish King Alpin who died in 835 A.D. The Greers do trace back to his son Gregor, when their name was spelled "Gregor" and later "MacGregor" which means 'son of Gregor'.
