---
John Miers Greer was born on 4 April 1778, sixth son of the late John Greer, Esq., of Grange M‘Gregor, county Tyrone, a Justice of the Peace, and Deputy-Governor of counties Armagh and Tyrone for upwards of 50 years, by Catherine, daughter of John Cuppage, Esq., of Garden Hill, county Antrim.
This officer entered the Navy on 13 May 1793, as First-class Volunteer and Captain’s Servant on board the Invincible 74, Captain Hon. Thomas Pakenham, one of Lord Howe’s victorious fleet in the action of 1 June 1794. In 1796, after having further served with the same officer in La Juste 80, he became Midshipman, in the Mediterranean, of the Amphitrite frigate, Captain Hon. Charles Herbert; on subsequently accompanying whom into the Amelia 38, he was present at the defeat of Commodore Bompart’s squadron off the coast of Ireland in October 1798. After that event he removed to the Royal George 100, bearing the flag in the Channel of Lord Bridport, by whom he was soon appointed Acting-Lieutenant of the Neptune 98, Captain James Vashon. He was confirmed, 20 September 1799, into La Suffisante sloop, Captains Jonas Rose and Christopher John Williams Nesham, employed on the Plymouth station, where he continued until the peace. His next appointments were – 12 April 1803, to the Grampus 50, Captain Thomas Gordon Caulfeild, on the East India station, whence he invalided in June, 1804 – 22 July 1805, to the Espoir brig, Captains Joseph Edmonds, William King, and Henry Hope, in which vessel, after assisting at the reduction of the Cape of Good Hope, he proceeded to the Mediterranean – 8 July 1808, to the Podargus, Captains William Hellard and John Lloyd, from which vessel he was superseded about 1811 – and, 21 February 1829, to the command of the Plumper 12, on the coast of Africa. He invalided from the latter station in January 1830; and, on 14 March 1840, he accepted the rank of Commander. Commander Greer was admitted to the out-pension of Greenwich Hospital on 10 August 1832. Placed on the Retierd Commander’s List on 14 March 1840, he died in 1861.
