Hi Barb and All, I do have some of the information on the marriage bond for Jesse and Mary. Bond shows date of !! Feb. 1804 in Wake Co., N.C. Tiller Ship and Avera Parham were bondsmen. S. Turner was a witness. Now, I have something I want to present. My grandpa's cousin was Judge James Simpson of Clark Co., KY. The Judge's sister married James Brasfield; they had a son, James Simpson Brasfield. I am wondering if James Brasfield, the husband of Elizabeth Simpson was the son of Jesse and Mary Reavis. You Reavis's have been our cousins for ages and I have been trying to find where we connected, maybe this is one of the places. I found about the marriage bond on GenForum.com; great web-site.
