I am looking immigration records, baptisms, marriages, whatever, to prove my lineage in the Reece/Reese/Reis/Ries family. What I have, I found on the internet. I'm looking for documentation, or verification on the following family: William Reece was born 1709 in Brecknock, Wales, and died 7 Apr 1808 in Iredell Co., NC He was the son of David Rees and Maude Owens, wife's name Mary. I have all of William and Mary Reece's children born in PA, which may or may not be true. David Reece, married Nancy Cooley Thomas Rose (Rosemont) Ross, who is my ancestor, supposedly married Payne Welch, where I have no clue. It is said that Rose Reece was a soldier in the PA Militia. Valentine, married Christine Harmon ca 1769 in PA Rose Reece and family lived in North Carolina. Moving westward in the state as Indian Territory became open for settlement. I also have clues that his family married into the Cherokee and Choctaw nation. I would dearly love to find a record of Rose Reeces marriage to Payne Welch. The family was Protestant, I do not know what denomination, but were Baptists in the mid to late 1800's Does this family sound familiar to anyone? Many thanks Karen Patterson
