Hoping someone has proof of birth date of my gr gr gr grandmother, Elizabeth Reeder. She was daughter of William Nathan Reeder and Rebecca Collins and wife of Shadrick Dykes/Dikes. All the reports I have seen says she was born in 1816 in NC, but the 1850 and 1860 Covington County censuses indicate that she was born about 1826. The 1850 census says she was 24 years old and the 1860 census says she was 35 years old, that consistency leads me to believe that she was probably born in 1826 and not 1816. Other siblings that I have for Elizabeth are: Jesse b. 1811, Nancy b. 1818, Abijah b. 1822, Ruth b. 1826, Mamie b. 1828, William Nathan Jr b. abt. 1832, Zaccheus b. 1833, and Hiram whose birth date is unknown. Is it possible that Elizabeth and Ruth are the same person or were perhaps twins? Does anyone have more information on Ruth? I only have her birth date. Elizabeth's father, William Nathan, was son of William Reeder, b. abt. 1731 and Priscilla (surname unknown) b. abt. 1738. Does anyone know who the parents of William, b. abt. 1731 are? Would appreciate any help. Shelby
