Surnames: Reese, Barritt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ANB.2ACI/1348 Message Board Post: I am looking for a death or burial record (anything!) for Susan Barritt Reese (or Rees) from 1846, in Monticello, Lewis Co., MO. (born in 1780, KY) She is my GGG-G'mother, her daughter Elizabeth Reese married my GG-G'father James Stephen Green, who was first an attorney, then elected to state gov't, then served in Congress as Rep then Senator for MO right before the Civil War. James and his brother Martin E. Green had a sawmill (in Ralls Co?) for a time, but the family mostly lived in and around Monticello and Canton. My GG-g'parents James and Elizabeth married in Lewis Co in 1841, so she probably came out west (to be with her daughter) from KY where she had lived with her husband George Rees(e) who died in/abt 1835. If there are any researchers willing to do fee-for-service lookups, I'm willing to do that! Thank you, everyone!!

My maternal grandmother was Vera Reese Bankhead, youngest child of Eli Hugh & Mary E. Johnson Reese. This Rees/Reese family came to Pike Co, MO from Warren Co, KY ca l840. I'm wondering if your Rees' are any relation?
