Eldridge Swepson Greening (March 3, 1800 - May 4, 1829)

From “Chapter XXVIII: The County of Conecuh” of “Alabama: Her History, Resources, War Record and Public Men From 1540 to 1872” by Willis Brewer:

ELDRIDGE S. GREENING was an early settler, and distinguished young attorney of Conecuh. He was talented and popular, serving the people in the legislature and as general of militia. He was also solicitor of the circuit court, succeeding Hon. John Gayle of Monroe in 1821. His career was cut short by death about the year 1829 when he was thrown from his buggy against a tree while on the way to Pensacola.
