I know nothing of the REESE family other than Texas and William were married in the home of Fayette REESE, 22 December,1889, Fayette Co., AL, Book "A", Page 588. I married into the HOULDITCH family in 1964. My then bride was Reata HOULDITCH d/o Glen Vance HOULDITCH and Delta Ree KIRKLEY. Delta Ree was the d/o Marion Jackson KIRKLEY, (1864-1944) and Eliza Jane HAWKINS, (1880-1965). Marion J. and Wm. M. KIRKLEY were brothers. Eliza Jane was d/o Daniel Burgess HAWKINS (1859- 1950) and Minta Ann NORTHAM, (1862-1934). Minta Ann was d/o Ben NORTHAM. The NORTHAMS owned property at or near Bethel Church and were some of the original members. The church is located two miles west of Luxapallila Creek (River). Two miles east of this creek, my family, REYNOLDS, MARSHALLS, etc. owned property. My gggrandfather Levi MARSHALL, (1825-1898) married Lucinda B. REYNOLDS, (1827-1900). Lucinda was d/o Alva Morgan REYNOLDS, 1802-1864), and Matilda BREWER, (1805-?). Alva and Matilda had a daughter, Dorcas Tabitha REYNOLDS that married Lewis Monroe WIMBERLY. Lewis was an officer in the CSA and served with Co. "I", 26th Alabama Infantry Regiment, during the WBTS. He was wounded, discharged and received a pension from the state of AL. The pension was applied for from Lamar Co., AL. Lewis was the s/o Thomas WIMBERLY. Texas might be a member of this family. Lewis Monroe WIMBERLY and A.M.REYNOLDS were both pastors and preached at many of the local chuches during the 1800's, including Bethel Church.
