His Fathee was W. W. Dew. I found a Marriage cert. for them in Madison Co. Tn, that showed the Rev. W.W. Dew married a Marinda P. Reeves in Jan 28, 1892. My GFather was born in 1895. I am guessing that Marinda P. Reeves was a married name of Marinda Bradford. However it's only a guess. If anyone has any info or suggestions please reply. I have found a James C. Bradford with a dau. Marinda and belive it is her, but where does the Reeves name come from? I think Marinda was born in May 1859, in Tn. I can find no Marinda Bradford or Reeves in the 1880 cencus.
