Barb, the copy of the Vance Co. Hertiage Books does list Robert Reavis as the son of Samuel Jones Reavis(b.5-6-1819.d.1858) and Charity High Reavis(b.5-5-1820,d,?) of Franklin Co. all it has that he was killed in the Civil War.

Could he be Robert Reavis, son of Samuel Jones Reavis and Charity High Hunt? Reavis book says he born about 1841 and killed in Civil War. Have no further info on this Robert Reavis.

Barb, you asked who Lewis is. On the 1870 Madison Co.census there is a Lewis age 3 with THOMAS-38 MARY ANN-17 WILLIAM-7 CATHERINE-5 LEWIS-3 LEONIDUS-10/12 Then on the 1880 Buncombe Co. census he is not with Thomas' any more,but he is there on William' I think WILLIAM-66 FANNEY-65 ELIZA-32 REBECCA-26 GEORGE-23 CATHERINE-15 (MILTON L.-13) JAMES H.-3 Barb, I think this Milton L. might be Lewis,the ages add up Lewis was 3 in the 1870 MADISON CO. census, then there is this Milton L. 13 IN 1880 Buncombe Co.census, then in the 1900 Buncombe Co. he is listed as L.Milton Revis -33 living with his Aunt Eliza Revis-56, Eliza age is off a couple years but you and I know that happens a lot with census. Was not able to get to the Library today, but I am going on Thursday.

(Name being Milton Louis/ Lewis on various records) The Lewis I was looking for, was another one, and finally got it straight today. W.C. Revis (s/o Wm N and Fanney) made a will in Sept 1879 and was prob Nov 1879, listed Lenis H., which is prob Lewis as his son..the other names were Marion, who was prob Jesse M. s/o WIlliam N and Fanny on the 1860 census, another name mentioned was William Revis, Jr; who was prob s/o W.C. So the Lewis has been accounted for. Thanks. *Barb

Posted on: Reavis, Reaves, Reves, Rivis Obituaries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/rea/ReavisObits/106 Surname: ------------------------- Believe his name was William Asberry, and not William Andrew; his father was Andrew William, s/o Solomon-4, David-3 and Jess-2.

Thanks to Curt, we know have actual copy of the census, and can see why the interpretation I rec'd, was in error, ie Nancy not Fanney, John H not John A, Leah E. F vs m When you know what you are looking for, easier to see it :-) So here is what it has (was able to enlg it considerably) Reviss, William 36 Fanney 34 Thos. H 7 John P. 4 Joshua 1 Leah E. 6 (now both the age and "f" difficult to make out) Delores headed for library to get 1870 household info for William 55 and Fanney 54 so making headway..have some 1900 data on the way *B

Finally have located data with rather decisive info, if correct. She is buried in the Combs Cemetery, Monroe Co Indiana.. no first name just w/o Jesse Brasfield 1780-1860..the cen- sus records vary some in age, as most do; but this figures with what is know, she was born bef her father Wm made his will in 1784. We had previously thought she died ca1840..but she has now been located on the 1850 Monroe Co Ind census, and the data frm tombstone..which is often dubious, at best. So I am going with born ca1780 d ca 1860..til more data may be revealed :-) *Barb

LEAR/LEAH WAS A FEMALE...SO NAME WAS LEAH...NOT LEWIS. ONE MORE CLARIFICATION, AND ONLY FOUND ON DOCUMENTATION! Thanks Delores. *Barb (now who was Lewis named in Wm C will :-)....)

All of this frm research into Reavis/Brasfield/Combs families who went to Monroe Co Indiana frm Surry Co NC ca1835( they left Wake Co for Surry ca1805). Parham, Allen had a dau named Mary b 1823 Bledsoe Co Tn. (he was there on the 1830 census) may have been married at least three times, once to Lucy Tollet in 1823 Granville co NC. He also married a Susanna Calkins (poss widow Ralph), in Nov 1849 Greene Co Ind.; an Elizabeth aft 1860. He was in Monroe Co 1850 census, 1860 Greene Co Indiana, next door. Allen Parham is listed as 51 yrs of age in 1850 Andrew Brasfield s/o Jesse Brasfield and Mary Pritchard Reavis married Mary/Polly Parham, prob d/o Allen Parham Other Parham marriages in Monroe Co Ind frm Marriage books: Allen to Lydia Dicks Feb 1858 George J. to Jane Wright Feb 1857 John to Cynthia Adamson Apr 1852 william to Mary Pennington Dec 1859 Elizabeth to Owen Bennett Mar 1844 Henrietta to William Bennett Jan 1843 Melvina to Noah Hayden Feb 1850 Always amazes me, when you start "digging" who you run into! *Barb

Was Capt in the Mo Volunteers 5th Regt Civ War was struck in the head by a cannon ball during the civil war, and barely escaped death, the wound was received at Carter's Park in Carthage, Mo. His wife's name was Elizabeth Bruton. His son David Altus died Mary 1956 in Carthage, Mo. This info direct frm descendant. *Barb

trying to put a pile of papers in order and find we have been forgetting a couple of things. In 1860 Buncombe Co NC Census chn are listed as Thomas 18, Lear/Lewis 16 (he is named in his bros Wm C's will 1879), John 14, Jesse M 11 ( believe middle name Marion, since he is named in Wm C's will also), William C. 9 (will 1879 he had a son Lenis H..prob Lewis H); Daisy 7, George 3 and Margaret and Rebecca Edwards/Edmunds (?). *Barb Now George is also found in the 1880 census age 23. *B

For those of you researching the Thomas Henry Revis 1842-1921 family, we need data frm the 1900 census, to determine if he had another wife and more children. Thanks *Barb

Curt sent me copy of orig 1850 Buncombe co census for Shepherds..only two listed.. John Shepherd 58 b NC HH#1586 Martha 55 b NC Adam F 19 b NC H. Shepherd 21 b NC HH# 451 *H and Elizabeth seem to be Elizabeth Chandler 35 chn of Johnadn Martha Martha 16 *assume Chandler John 13 & was told they were ******************** (*now this is like the 1850 census hh of William with the Edwards/ Edmunds girl(s)..it listed first Margaret Edmunds then listed Rebecca giving the impression she was also Edmunds) Have been told by other researchers that John and Martha also had the following children: (listed in census first three) Adam F, Elizabeth m/Chandler H. (either Henry or James McHenry LEWIS W. William possible Henry possible (James McHenry Shepherd is said to have married Nancy Carter, d/o a female Revis and male Carter..no doc) Little speculation, John and Martha old enough to have dau Fanny (whatever her name is) that married William N. accd to census records she seems to have been born ca1815-16; she was 34 on 1850 census. Now wonder if his son Lewis W. was father of Mary Shepherd who married Thomas H ca1862; since they named a son Milton Louis? "What we now need is Sheperds on the 1860 Buncombe Co census, to see if can locate Benjamin there", as well as other Shepherds of any spelling. Also Lynne has found batch of Shepherds in Macon Co;, most of these seem to be frm line of a Thomas one born 1761 and Jr born 1798..those are the oldest in the Shepherd cemetery there, had LOTS of daughters :-) they married Daltons, Gibson, Holbrook, Potts, Lanning, Payne, Just found another older Shepherd in the Shepherd cem in Macon, James b1823 married Nancy Aveline Shepherd ..they were first cousins; she was d/o Thomas Shepherd adn Narcissa Welch. *B

According to the stories from my Grandfather, Homer Lewis Revis, his father (Milton Louis) was sent to live with his maternal uncle, Benjamin Shephard, after the marriage to the second wife. She did not want anything to do with him and his siblings. Milton lived with Benjamin until his Grandmother grew ill, and then he moved in with them to help tend her. Those with access to census data might want to check out any Shephard families for the whereabouts of Catherine and William. Milton was 13 when he went to live with his Grandparents.

Your message 10/15/2000 14:32:17 In the transcription of the 1860 census that I have, which was obtained from the Old Buncombe County Genealogical Society, Margaret's last name was Edmunds; no last name given to Rebecca, who was 10 and there was a Daisy 7. When I first saw the 1880 census I thought maybe Rebecca and Daisy were the same, but now I don't know. Eliza 32, maybe widow of John P., William N. and Fanny Shepherd's son, but don't know. It seems like for every questions that gets answered, there appears to be two more. I will keep searching. Joan A. Revis
