Right she was born ca1800, married 1818 in Tn John Randolph, he died 1848, she remarried 1849 Cannon Reed. I have NO idea what line she is frm. Have seen a C.A. Reavis/Revis as her father..but that early and in Tn, just cannot connect. Thanks *B

I have always thought Sarah was John's sister, just no proof. Finally figured out who that woman's Revis father was--she posted to Revis list about 18 moths ago==it was Sylvester Leo-8 Revis--she posted under Who AM I. I asked her to post privately from the list as I don't know if her email is still valid--too soon to have gotten it back. She may have found him ny now. L

As for John E and Sarah .. her son Richard Pace married Nancy, sister of Sara Barton; who married s/o John E.!! I just never put it all together before. More convinced as I go, that is who they are, siblings; and I bet early rec of Buncombe and or Henderson Co..will reveal data on their father either James or John..s/o Geo-3..esp re land John E got in Henderson co ca1833 B

Hello Everyone, I have more research to share. I show living next door to Jones Bradley Reavis, is a John Reavis listed in the 1850 Monroe Co., MO census. John Reavis aged 34 born Kentucky Elizabeth aged 31, born Kentucky Lucy J. aged 9 yrs. old, born Missouri James B. aged 5 yrs. old , born MO Allen, aged 3 yrs old, born MO Mary E. 1yr old, born MO This was in Monroe Co., Dist. No. 59, taken August 2, 1850 Living next to these Reavis's are the Morton brothers of Hannah and her sister Nancy Jane Morton. The brothers are George Lansford Morton and his brother, Joshua Taylor Morton. Jones Bradley's son, James Overton was born, 20 March 1842 in Monroe Co., MO He died 14 July 1888 Married Elenor Russell Their dau. Hannah Porter Reavis married Bartlett C. Roselle and had 5 children. Hannah died 1910. John Newton Reavis, born 17 Oct. 1817 in Warren Co., KY; died 1910 in Monroe Co., MO. I show his parents as Isham Reavis and Anne Jones John Newton m. Mary Elizabeth Preston (a near relative of the Lees of VA.) The writer of this piece has Mary as being born in VA. The census says KY. Mary died abt. 1890 in Florida, MO Their children were: John Alexander Reavis, m. Kate Springstead; had Frank Preston Reavis and Willard Reavis. Alice Grey Reavis, married Cecil Milner Lewellen; Children: Charles Preston Lewellen, born 23 Jan. 1878 in Florida, MO.married 1908 to Verne Ethel Holloway; died 1918 Their children were: Charles Holloway Lewellen, b. 1909; John Cecil Lewellen b. 1911 My grandpa had a cousin, Bill Lewellen, who came to Santa Barbara where my grandparents lived; I'm pretty sure that this is some of Bill's family, but so far, I haven't been able to really find out who his parents were.

Re: Samuel Jones Reavis who married Pattie Harris of Warren County. I am look for a Nick Revis who had a son James Henry Revis, born Buncombe County, NC 1877-1878. Someone listed a Nickolas Revis in the Warren County 1870 census, family #483. Maybe this Nicholas could be connected to Samuel & Pattie and also to James Henry of Buncombe County. Could you send me the article from the history book with the names of the wives/children, descendents of Samuel & pattie, as you mentioned in your message. It may help to get passed "our brick wall". Thanks a million. Joan

COULD THEY BE SIBLINGS? We have worked on her over the years and not been able to connect; but tonite had a "brainstorm" while doing some re- search on her, maybe, she is sis of John E., their birthdates stood out 1793 and 1797, close; lv'd same area. Sarah married Daniel Pace. They lived and died in area of Hen- derson County, which of course is where John E. lived also. Now just maybe, this is the clue we need, to energize the re- search on lineage of John E.; whom I believe to be son of James or possibly John, who were s/o George-3 . Again we must look at "early records" of Buncombe and Henderson Counties, especially land deeds, probate, estate records, etc. Also need to locate data on George's sons, James and John! *B

The John Reavis and fam, lv'g nextdoor to Jones Bradley on the 1850 Monroe Co Mo census, was his bro John Newton (their parents were Marcus A and Lucy Bradley); the James was James Bradley, I do not have data on the other chn in the 1850 census, perhaps they died thereafter, will see what can find out, probably need the 1860 census data. However, his wife indeed was Elizabeth Preston and she did die in 1890. John Alexander (who perhaps was the Allen listed in the 1850 census, and Alice Grey were chn of John Newton Reavis and Elizabeth Preston. Maybe we will be able to help you find your Bill Lewellen's family. Thanks again. *Barb

Hi Lynne, I actually am not sure of my family connection. My dad's family has had the Reavis's as cousins for ages and apparently from what I have at this time, they are related to us through Jones Bradley Reavis, who married Hannah Modisett Morton. Hannah was the sister of my great grandmother. However, I have always felt that there was a connection in North Carolina. I told Barb and gave her some of the lineage and information I have. She was the one, who put me on the Reavis web. I do have more Reavis information to share if you are willing.

I don't have the article you are referring to; but Samuel Jones Reavis married 1801 Warren Co NC, Martha/Patsey Green Harris. Their chn born thru 1819. They lived in Granville Co. NC. *B

Bonnie did put some data on the list, and you can find it in the Reavis List Archives..just put in Bonnie Valko. Most important for those following the lineage, was that his sons Andrew, Bowling Green and Thomas all died unmarried. They were all quite tall well over 6". We had different names for the cemetery where most of the family is buried, one being Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Cemetery, and some records, old ones, refer to it as the Pioneer cemetery; at least that is my understanding. She also gave us data on Jones Bradley's wife's family, Morton. Keep it coming, Bonnie :-) *Barb

John W. Randolph b1802 Yancy Co NC d 1848 Now first, if the dates are right, they were very young; he being 16 yrs old when married. She died ? and is buried at Sulpher springs Cem, Pope Co Il. Has anyone found a Mary Ann, that fits? Don't know of many, if any, Reavis/Revis frm Maury Co Tn. Have checked this out a couple of times, and beginning to think, likely frm a REAVES family. Input anyone? Accd to fam hx the fam went to Il ca1846, some ret to Tn. *B

James Revis (Pvt in Co B 5th inf Mex War enl Nov 1847 dischg'd July 1848 in Memphis co Tn) Married Feb 1854 Meigs Co Tn, to Mary Stokes. Children: Celia 1855, Elizabeth 1856, Malinda 1859 Any data on this line? *Barb

If remember right you are connected thru Hannah, d/o Jones B.; ie her husband Bartlett Roselle's sister Ellen, married James Overton Reavis, also s/o Jone Bradley. Most are buried at Pioneer Cemetery/Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Monroe Co Missouri. Seems like you had thought maybe a Woodson REEVES might be connected to our line; but think not :-) If you have definitive Reavis data, please do "put it on the list" for all to have access to. Lynne and I research together quite a bit. *B

Posted on: Reavis, Reaves, Reves, Rivis Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/rea/Reavis/69 Surname: ------------------------- Received info today that Mary was married to a Henry Reavis who deserted her and she then married Smiley. Henry pssibly had family in Illnois. any info out there on Henry Reavis probably born after 1850?

David Gochenauer married Mary REVIS, d/o Enoch REVIS, http://www.angelfire.com/f3/reavis/revis/index.html under "county bios" hyperlink..or use search engine bottom of page Also found the following online "Bills Creek Baptist Church 200 year History 1782-1982" page 108 Case of Isaac Ledbetter "Brother John Whiteside requested a letter of dismissal for Brother Isaac Ledbetter on 2-19-1833. M. Reavis (now this must have been (James) Morgan Reavis just prior to his migration to TN) objected on the ground of his horse running races, therefore, the letter was not granted. Brother Henry Pettit was appointed to talk to Isaac Ledbetter and if he gave Bro Pettit satisfaction it would be to the satis- faction of the Church. Brother Pettit reported on 3-15-1833 that he had not seen Brother Isaac Ledbetter. On 4-20-1833 Brother Isaac Ledbetter, being present, the charge was made known to him. He denied having any knowledge of his horses running and if they were it was without his consent, therefore the Church agreed to give him a letter of dismissal. He then requested a letter of dismissal for his negro boy Jack. It too was objected to by M. Reavis because he had seen him ride a race. The Church agreed to give him a letter....." *B

Bonnie, I appreciate your contributions to the List--I seem to be missing your family connection though, would you mind posting your lineage back to Ed-1? Thanks, Lynne Revis
