    2. 'ALL DATES, EVENTS, PLACES AND GENEALOGICAL DATA THAT I PRESENT ON THIS LIST, ARE NOT WARRANTED TO BE ACCURATE OR AUTHENTIC AND SHOULD NOT BE USED, UNTIL PROVED BY YOU; ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO DOCUMENT, OFTENTIMES TAKES TWO OR THREE DIFFERENT DOC- MENTATIONS TO COME UP WITH CORRECT DATA" As many of you know census records are only as good as the data given, accuracy of census taker to write it down, and of course inter- pretation of the handwriting on the census itself. After securing info frm compilations, always best to then compare it yourself, to the orig census. (even if can't read it, if know what looking for, generally find) We strive awfully hard to present data to enable others to connect their families to the main Reavis/Revis family. As you know I work on all lines frm all over the United States, not any particular one; that is why is so important for more input. I will give you a couple examples frm my own family research that has caused problems> My father wrote wrong names of my mothers parents on marriage application; if didn't know name, would never have been able to locate her family. Census records for 1900 have my grt grandfather born in Canada, 1910 census, Michigan, marr rec Michigan. His birthdate on marr rec given as 1860, on death record as 1858. His father's POB given as Can and Scotland, on two dif census records. *Barb

Remember that household was next to his father and Mary Ann. William no doubt would have been gone frm home in 1880 or in another home. *B

So only census he could have been in other households would be 1890, and of course none exists for then..at which time he would have been 23, and no doubt moved on. :-) *Barb

I will keep searching. > Joan A. Revis Isn't that the truth. Seems like interpretation of census is different as well..so guess will put Edwards/Edmunds..I have a letter frm Kenneth Wilde that says, the girls were Edmonds..the prob also with William and Fanny is that on the 1860 census wife is given as Angeline, never been able to reconcile that fact, unless Angeline was Frances/Fanny's middle or given name..This could be a real "clinker", esp since the 1879 will of son Wm C lists mother Fanny, and the 1870 and 1880 census has Fanny..just makes no sense! You know maybe that Candacia Edwards was Edmunds..and per- haps this is reason not having any luck locating her family, need to check out Edmunds in the area! Thanks Joan, you have added a lot to this research. *Barb

    1. [REAVIS] Looking for parents of May Revis bca1860...m/Vance G. Pickens Dec 1876
    2. It was thought she was d/o Thomas Revis and Elizabeth Ball, but was not on the 1860 Buncombe Co Census. On that census Thomas and Elizabeth had only 2 chn Laura C.M. age 3 and Allie(Allace) 3 months. So need to find Thomas and Elizabeth Revis data on the 1870 census, either Buncombe or Madison Co. If anyone has that data, would you please check to see if can locate MAY. *Barb

    1. [REAVIS] Freddie Reavis killed WW II Flying in a PBY
    2. Someone is seeking family of Freddie Reavis listed above. I believe him to be s/o James Baxter Reavis b1880 and Martha Ivy. (Ln of John-2). I come up empty handed in trying to place this family in a State. Had no luck with SS death index. Any clues? *B

    1. [REAVIS] William-2 widow Mary
    2. It has been believed that she married Uriah Brock, since on the February 1786 inventory return of est of William-2, she signed her name as Mary BROCK. We just located a July 1794 marriage for Uriah BROCK and Silvia HUSKEY, in Brunswick co Va. So if she married him earlier, she must have been deceased by that date. As you know we are searching for data on Leah Huskey, d/o William-2, it is believed she may have married Luke Huskey prior to date of William-2 will of 1784. (no luck so far!) *B

    3. Barb, I have a note from you that Henry Shepherd and Rebecca Carter were married in 1855 Madison Co. Don't think Fanny's parents. Lynne Revis

Wow thanks, we almost placed him in another family! Only had Ada Zenora as daughter, did James and Aurora have any other children. *Barb
