Need help on my Reel line. According to the work of Mildred Reel Buck on the Reels: Peter Reel I died in 1739 in Craven. Witnesses to his will were Simon Bright and Richard Evans. Peter's wife was named Mary. Peter's mother, Hannah, was married to a William Adams of Hyde County when Peter died. Peter's children were Mary, Elizabeth, Peter, James, Joshua and Sarah. Daughters Mary Reel married John Gatlin ca 1749 and sister Elizabeth married Edward Gatlin ca 1743. What I have seen on the list over a period of time indicates that the Gatlin's were not married to the Reel Sisters. Does anyone have any idea how or why the Reels connected to the Gatlin. I believe the Early Reel family lived on Swift Creek in Craven County. Jane Phillips God Bless America!
