Two weeks before the surrender, when the army was breaking up, many of the men, including himself, were told by Lt. James P Warren : 'We are whipped. Make your way home the best you can.' This was after the 38th, serving as rear guard for Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, was over run by Union forces at the Battle of Saylers Creek, now wrongfully labeled Sailor's Creek, outside of Farmville, VA. After Saylers Creek, Greenberry walked from Farmville, VA to his home at Museville near Callands, Virginia. The residents along the way were very glad to furnish food and comfortable quarters. During the whole war he did not receive a scratch, but was shot through his clothing four times. One of the shots went through his frying pan at Drewry's Bluff.
