Barb, Do you have any Revis's listed in Rowan County, N.C.? The coincidence of my grandfather's name being "Samuel Patton" is suggestive of some connection to the original 'Samuel Patton'. My grandfather was born in 1847 so his father may have been familiar with the exploits of Mr. Samuel Patton by reputation or personal acquaintance. Reestablished contact with a first cousin through messages regarding history of our grandfather. Very rewarding ! Warmest regards!

Barb ,we need to change a few thing on Kenneth H.Revis children Atlas m.Vears 1st, m.Ruby Shell 2nd Frank m.a Seagle, she died in childbirth Barb, the Thomas you have with Margaret is a Thomas F. Revis on the 1860 Buncombe CO. census. Also I found William age 36 on the 1850 Buncombe CO.,N.C. census with a Fanney age 34 withThomas age 7 John P.-4 J? -1 Leah E.-6 On the 1860 census Buncombe CO. I found William-45 Angeline-44 Thomas-18 Leah-16 John-14- J.?M.-11 On the 1870 Madison CO.,N.C. census William is with Fanney . But when you go the 1880 census he is with Fanney again. William-66 Fanney-65 Eliza-32 Rebecca-26 George-23 Catherine-15 Milton L.-13 James H.-3 grandson Barb ,William Whitfield Reavis s/o of Samuel, also had a son named THOMAS HARRELL REAVIS b. 9-29-1828, d.6-11-1915 in Texas. according to the Vance County Hertiage Book.

on the following website on the 5thAlabama Battalion are several letters and diaries pertaining to the Civl War period. The fifth item down on home page is Family Reminiscences and War Remembrances written by William Frierson Fulton jr. of the Battalion in his home town of Livingston, Alabama in 1919. Chapter XVIII "A Journey On Foot" details the travails and joys of the walk from Appomattox back to Alabama. Lucy Barrett-5 Reavis gave the Archer's Regiment their silk flag in 1861 in Gainesville AL. She was married to the Battalion's Major T. H. Jackson. The cadre of troops met her sister-in-law on the return trip, realizing the connection. If you do not care to read the entire document--it is quite engaging--the Reavis reference is page 173.

Barb, These Reavis's are new to me too. I have no knowledge of any of them, but I'm there must be documents telling something about them. Does Marie Reavis Hall's book mention anything about them. I only have a part of it, so they may be in the part that I don't have. I have a confession to make; I double checked with my cousin and he says Will's middle name was Roselle, so I stand corrected. I am sorry for the error. My cousin actually knew Will, I had never met him, so my cousin remembers a lot about him. So, don't change the records you have, they are correct. I have a feeling the records on Woodson that I have are'nt right either, because of the name of one of those little girls. Isn't her name, Ann Eliza? I don't think Margaret Simpson would have named her child that, so something is wrong there. Well, tomarrow is another day!

Need to >find out the data on all of this. Barbs, John F. Simpson is John Franklin Simpson, my grandfather; and yes, he was in partnership with his cousin, Will Reavis. William Riddlehurst Reavis was the son of James Overton Reavis, who was the son of Jones Bradley, or so I have it. Will Reavis was quite young when grandpa knew him. My grandfather homesteaded part of the Bitterroot Valley in Montana and young Will used to come visit the Simpsons. My father recalled his visits. He was always full of fun, loved to sing and dance and in his later years, was quite a "lady's man," as my Dad used to say. Will had red hair,which he parted in the middle and bright blue eyes. He was around 6ft. 2in. tall and was great for clothes. As for the partnership, Grandpa had to sell the store in Santa Barbara after he bought the 1000 acre Green Ranch here in San Luis Obispo County, California. Cousin Will didn't pay enough attention to the store and they were losing business, so it was sold. This is a little first hand history on Grandpa and Will Reavis.

We have yet to connect this Levi. He is found in area along with chn of Joseph-3 who died 1804; but he was not named in the will; which makes you wonder if perhaps he was born aft Joseph died. 1850 Iredell Co Levin 45, Eady 45, Julia 21, Willilam 19, Sarah 18, David 16 Henry 14, Wright 12, Burgess3, Alfred 1 1860 Wilkes Co Levi 53 sawyer; Eady 49, Sarah 25, Burgess 13, Alfred 11, Asa 9, John W. 3 (Wright with wf Nancy and Henry with wf Sarah were in households close by) I have not found any descendant or data of this family. *Barb

Hi Barb, The information on this comes from a McGee family history, which includes my Simpsons. It states that Ann Eliza (don't you love that name!) "mothered" 3 little girls of Woodson Reavis. I assumed from that, that Margaret had died and left Woodson and the little girls. This needs more research to really find out if this is true. So, far, however, this "history" has been right on as far as being correct, so the McGees did their homework. A good place to go for information is the Missouri Archives. They have been great for me; they were responsible for getting information on my great grandfather, James Boston Simpson, who was in the Missouri State Guard and later joined the Confederacy as a courier and a spy. I must tell you how much I enjoyed the story of Samuel Patten. I have read all of it and copied it off. I am going to present it to our DAR Chapter; at least read a portion of it to them. What a wonderful story of a patriot.

First, I found a William S. 1870 Monroe Co Mo census..and somewhere I found where a "WIll" s/o Jones, and John F Simpson were partners in a store in Santa Barbara California. Need to find out the data on all of this. per The Reavis Family Book..Jones and his wife are both bur at Pleasant Hill Cem..(think I saw someplace where Pleasant Hill and Pioneer Cem one and the same)..that he took up land in 1820 in Mo (have found 1833 land rec Monroe co his name) Hannah when widowed married a Mr. Means and they had a son Samuel. Most of the data you gave on his sons this am are all noted in the Reavis Family Book. It says this on Ann Eliza (dca1883) m/John Winn by whom she had 2 sons, married 2d Woodson REEVES, for whom she mothered three daughtres. "Issue: Bettie Lulu Reeves, Mary Eliza Reeves, Kathleen Reeves". Have very little census data frm there, but 1870 Monroe Co MO census there was a REVES, Theodore and REVES, Joannah..this might be the REEVES/REVES family, Woodson was from. *B

This needs more research to really Do need to verify REEVES or REAVIS last name of Woodson. Because if Reavis need to locate him. Maybe census records could shed some light on it. Would want to correct also the chn if not Ann's but Simpsons. Again, thanks for sharing your data/research. Glad you enjoyed the Samuel Patton story, I thought it was wonderful; and yes he finally did get his pension they had taken away. It seems to me, the Court prob learned more abt the battles, than they knew be- fore he told his story. *Barb
