    3. Gary, When you get this problem solved I would like to talk to you about Rakestraw family. I have Sarah Rakestraw who married Thomas Reeves. Thomas Reeves line is Thomas, Micajah, Walter Jr, and Walter Sr, the immigrant. Sarah was born 1762 in Burlington Co, NJ. I wonder if her parents were Thomas Rakestraw and Elizabeth Zane. I have not been able to find proof of this. Thomas Reeves remarried in 1827. I am also trying to find RW service for Thomas Reeves, even patriot service would work. Thomas Reeves came to Salem County, NJ after the RW. I have a copy of an article from "The American Genealogist" dated Jan 1975; "Rakestraw on Delaware" if you do not have this article. It lists a daughter, Hannah who married Abraham Haines and also a daughter Sarah but no marriage for her. Children of Thomas Reeves and Sarah Rakestraw were Asa, Joseph Thomas, Micajah, Thomas, Abraham and Isaac. Some are Reeve family names. Thank you for any help you can give me. I have been to Burlington and Salem Counties a few times but always seem to hit brick walls.
