You Reavis's have been our First thank you so much for the data on the marr rec for Jesse and Mary! The one was Avery Parham..supposedly bro in law of Mary.. so this gives us more benefit on our data. Turner seems to be connected to the family somehow, thru the Alabama Jurist Turner Reavis. Brassfield data so inconclusive, have so many dates of birth, starting 1755 thru 1789...something wrong there, not been well researched, I guess. Did find himi on 1810 Surry co NC census, age 45+..which is also a plus for our data! Now Mary and Jesse did have a son James Henderson born ca1821, don't have marr data, but he had sons William Riley and Perry Hender- son, so if these names fit, you have a match. More latere. *Barb
