Ailsey Reeves was married to an Irwin and lived in Pleasant Plains. She was a widow by Nov. 1863 at the time of the probate of Alexander Reeves of Gardner Twp, her father. Ailsey Reeves Irwin had a grandmother Alice, called Alsey, so it may be that her name was also Alice. Ailsey may also be the same as Elsie, another name short for Elizabeth. Are any of you familiar with the Irwin family of Pleasant Plains? Census records have been inconclusive because in 1860 just initials were used for the people of Sangamon Co., IL. Thanks, Carole
