    1. [NCORANGE] Reaves, Caldwell Surnames
    2. Phillip Rogers
    3. I am researching the names above. My ancestors, Archibald Reaves and Elizabeth Caldwell, were married in Orange Co. in 1809. Am looking for their parents/siblings. Archibald bought a town lot around 1801 near the university, and sold it in 1813. By around 1815, they were in Bedford Co., TN. Would appreciate any leads or suggestions. Pat in Ohio

    3. Researching Thomas Brooks ca 1730-1810 who lived in the town of Hillsborough and married Elizabeth Cato/Cate/Calow? daughter of Edward. Children were sons: Andrew who died in Orange in 1812 and William and daughters: Elizabeth who married Benjamin Howell and moved to Grainger County, Tennessee, Hannah who had a son James Brooks (father unknown), Sally who married Joseph Terrill in 1789 and Susannah who married Thomas or William Jackson 1787. John Howell ca 1730-1792? son of Thomas as shown in Granville County, NC list of taxables 1750 p. 27 John Paines' list Thomas Howell aged 40 (born 1710) ... Jno Howell aged 20 (born 1730) 2 polls John and his unknown wife reportedly had 8 sons: Caleb, Edward, Benjamin, Henry, Malachai, Philip, John and William and one daughter Jane who married Henry Ivy in 1774 in Orange. Most (if not all) of these children migrated to Tennessee after the Revolutionary War. I am descended from Benjamin Howell born Granville 10 March 1753 and died 9 Jan 1834 in Grainger County, Tennessee and married Elizabeth Brooks daughter of Thomas Brooks above.
