Chapter History

The John F. Greer Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution was organized on December 9, 2006, and was named for John F. Greer, who arrived in Collin County, Texas in 1867, and is credited with building the first home and store there.  John F. Greer served as the first mayor of the town of Anna, and some sources suggest that the town was named after Greer's daughter. Others report that the town was named in honor of Anna Quinlan, daughter of George A. Quinlan, former superintendent of the Houston and Texas Central.  Still another story suggests that Anna Quinlan was the wife of George Quinlan and the daughter of J. F. Greer.
