We are working as distant cousins and fellow researchers to try and clear up some confusion re: Abraham Reece/Reese of Surry co., N.C. Does anyone know if there could have been 2 Abraham Reece/Reese in Surry co,NC at the same time? Could Abraham truly have a birthdate of 1745 vs. 1750 and have had Elisha and Elijah before marrying Mary Huff and having the other children? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We had been told by other researchers in the past of 1. ABRAHAM REESE was born 1745 in Surry Co., North Carolina, and died in Surry Co., North Carolina. Children of ABRAHAM REESE are: 2. i. ELISHA REESE, b. Bef. 1765, South Carolina; d. March 04, 1848, Midway, Crittenden Co., Kentucky. 3. ii. ELIJAH REESE SR., b. 1766, Surry Co., North Carolina; d. October 24, 1854, Petros, Morgan Co., Tennessee. We are descended from Elijah Reese Sr. Neither Elisha nor Elijah were mentioned in a will we saw on the REESE list. Then we have read on the REESE list and SURRY CO. list about the following: Abraham Reece, Sr. b. 7/1/1750 marr. Mary Huff b. 7/1/1754 in abt 1771 children of Abraham, Sr. and Mary Huff: 1.
