Barack OBAMA, 44th President of the United States
descendant of Johann Pieter STRAUB, 1733 immigrant to Philadelphia, PA
"We are and always will be the United States of America." (4 Nov 2008, Grant Park, Chicago, IL)
John GREENFIELD
Jane SEARS
Husband:  John GREENFIELD

Death:  4 Mar 1872, Todd Co., KY
Disposition:  buried Sears Cemetery, Todd Co., KY 

Father?:  Thomas Gordon GREENFIELD
Mother?:  Elsey __?__
or 
Father:  William GREENFIELD

The 1850 Census says John was born in TN, but records for his father indicate he should have been born in KY.  I wonder if Thomas is really his father, especially as some sources list a William GREENFIELD as his father.
