Surnames: CREWS, JENNINGS, BRADLEY Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GMB.2ACE/224.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Donna, I think there may be some connection, but at present do not know how. First of all my Nancy Jane Crews was reportedly born in KY abt. 1824. She married Henderson Jennings 1842 in Platte Co. Mo. One of their children was named Leitia Horace Jennings, which we have not been able to figure out how she ended up with a man's name for a middle name. The other strange thing is that Nancy and Henderson's daughter Kate, my ggrandmother married James W. Bradley in 1879 in Springfield MO. Seems we have a lot in common. Please e-mail me direct and I can send you more information. Rose Higgins rh72501@yahoo.com

There was nothing on your names but much on the Rees name. Checking Ancestry, I don't see them, or any other Rees for that matter, listed in the index for Platte from 1830-1870. I did see in the 1850 Platte census book, Amos Reese, probably a common error with your name. Even under that spelling, I did not find your names. There is some additional info on a WIlliam Rees who married Amanda Page in Platte. States his ancestors were of Welsh origin and immigrated to VA. Has info on his children but again, no Martin.

His son-Lewis Bees, married Sarah Ridgway, daughter of Richard-Lewis Rees and family removed from Winchester, Va., to Cir, cinnati, Ohio, in 1810, and started the first glass works in that city. In 1818 the family removed to Old Franklin, Mo. Three children of Lewis Bees (i) came to Platte City, about 1850, and removed to Leavenworth, as soon as Kansas was opened f01' settlement. We will notice the three brothers in order of birth' THE REES FAMILY. 1875, NOV. 611 I. AMOS REES Was born at Winchester, Vay December 2, 1800, and followed the fortunes of his father until his death. As a clerk for Colonel Chambers, he closed out a stock of goods at Old Franklin, and commenced, at the age of 18 years, reading law with Judge Todd. After three years, he was licensed by the Supreme Court of the State. He removed successively to Fayette, Lexington, and Liberty. At the latter place he married July 15, 1830, Judith C. Trigg, born January 21, 1809, and died in Leavenworth in 1894. She was a daughter of Gen. Stephen Trigg. He next removed to Camden, Bay County, and was one of the promoters of that town. But he became involved, and his property was sold at a great sacrifice. From thence, he removed, successively, to Richmond, Independence, and Platte City, reaching the latter place March 1, 1845. In partnership with Hon. John Wilson, he did a large business. He was a well-read lawyer, and a successful practitioner. An earnest Methodist, he carried his reli! gion into his business. He was conscientious in all he did, was quick to detect and charge fraud, and his red head and quick temper manifested themselves, in irritability. In 1855 he removed to Leavenworth, and, with dark, laid off an addition to that city. Here he broke up again, and lost his sight, and his remaining years were spent in seclusion. He died December 29, 1885. His children: 1, Sarah, died in 1894; 2, Lewis; 3, Mary; 4, Edwin Rees. II. LEWIS REES Was for some years a merchant in Platte City. In 1854 he went to Leaveaworth, and was the first postmaster of that place. He left children. ' III. RICHARD R. REES Was the smallest, but the most brilliant of the brothers. He was full of life, spirit, and energy. There was no better informed Mason in Missouri or Kansas. He wrote and published a small volume of wild, weird, and ancient mysteries of Egyptan lore. I tried to read it, but it was either above or below my comprehension. Osiris, Isis, Horus, Serapis, etc., were the leading characters. His Masonic learning and his familiarity with the ceremonies of the various, degrees of the mystic craft gave him the highest positions in the order. He represented Leavenworth County in the Territorial Council of 1855. He was a prominent leader of the Pro-slavery party in Kansas; but his genial disposition and generous soul made him a favorite even with those who were opposed to him in politics. He was residing in Platte City when Kansas was thrown open for settlement, and was among the foremost to become a resident of the Territory. He filled the office of probate judge one term in ! Leavenworth. He died, as stated above, November 19, 1875. Jolin F. De Berry is shot by his brother-in-law, Henson, and severely wounded. Henison was indicted, and vigorously prosecuted. but finally acquitted.
