Just checked database and sure enough, there she is as "Virginia B. Loyd"; Tom Reavis, grt gson had told me she was known as Ben, but somehow, I lost that when found other data with her name! *B

Thanks to a note frm Charlotte, whose mother, was cousin to Elbert; who knew both Elbert and Ben well. Seems her name was Ben Loyd when she married Elbert Thomas Reavis. Thus they are buried side by side at Sunset Cemetery in Weakley county, Tn. *Barb

Posted on: Reavis, Reaves, Reves, Rivis Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/rea/ReavisObits/109 Surname: Holden, Reavis ------------------------- Nathan Fletcher Holden born May 15, 1911 Yadkin Co NC died 01 Dec 2000 Winston-Salem, NC.

Think W.L. Reavis 1845-1914 is Leonidus Washington-6 Reavis, s/o Elijah-5, John Hanner-4. I wonder if Ben Loyd Reavis 1870-1945 is also Leonidus-6 son, as we know his son Elbert Thomas-6 b 1869 Weakley Co had son, grandson, and great grandson named Loyd. Lynne Revis

I have reviewed all of that family (he could of course have been frm another line, that just happened in the area), and about the only place he could fit in would be as possible son of William Muran s/o John Hanner, for whom the first data I found was in the 1860 Weakley Co census, and likely he had more children after that date. Could ALMOST fit as son of Elbert Thomas, but don't think does. We need more data on Wm Muran Reavis and Louisa White. *Barb

L....and is not the first one that names are changed around frm what we have, another frm yesterday is Temperance Candace vs Candace Temperance. However, Leonidus Loyd was born 1897, and his son was Loyd Leonida was born 1922..if remember right what his son told me, he went by Loyd, period! :-) So Ben Loyd still in question, but will attempt to rev dates in data base to see if can come up with same ones 1870-1946. Sometimes can't see what is looking at me, to many! Thanks *B
