George Greer

George Greer of Lurgan counterclaimed apparently unsuccessfully as judgement creditor for the compensation for the enslaved people on Laurel Hill in Trinidad, and sought to intervene on another award in Trinidad for an estate he described as Auzonville (q.v.) belonging to John Lindsay of Dublin. The Commissioners could find no trace of a claim on Auzonville.
