Hi everyone- was wondering if anyone could tell me anything of the Reeves of Orange Co., North Carolina. Want to get my duck in a row before I head to the Raleigh Archives. I am trying to track my brick wall- the parents of the Rev. WILLIS REEVES born May 07, 1778 in Orange Co. died 1848 Tn. Married first to Mary Clayton and second to Thisbe (Jones) Higbee. There is suggestion that his parents were John and Mary Reeves. Mary who died 1-09-1832 but I want to find proof if poss. so I need to know about who they all are and if poss how they are connected. In 1790 Orange Co census: there is a George Reeves and John Rives/Reeves (seen records with both spellings) (1790 U.S. Census) NORTH CAROLINA , ORANGE DIST TAX LIst Series: M637 Roll: 7 Page: 27 In the 1790 Wake Co.

This is the information I have on the Reeves, which is not much. Got this information in 2000 from FamilySearch Ancestral File v4.19. John Reeves birth; 1771, Orange, North Carolina death; 1854 Bingham Township, Orange, North Carolina. burial; Bingham Township, Orange, North Carolina. Reeves-Mccauley. This may be the name of the cemetary. He had a daughter, Sinah M. Reeves, born; 31 December1816, Bingham Township, Orange, North Carolina. Died; 21 September 1897, Saxapahaw, Alamance, North Carolina. Buried Saxapahaw, Alamance, North Carolina, Moore's Chapel Cemetary. She married 28 November,1838 to Chesley Moore. Chesley was born 27 November 1815 in Orange, North Carolina. Died 27 March, 1901 in Saxapahaw, Alamance, North Carolina. Buried Saxapahaw, Alamance, North Carolina. I have no other information about her brothers or sisters if there were any. The interest I had in her was one of her daughters, Mary F. Moore married William A. Kirkpatrick. They had a son William Chesley Kirkpatrick who married Lydia Mary Staley. They had my father Alton Kermit Kirkpatrick. I hope this will help your search.
