Posted on: Reavis, Reaves, Reves, Rivis Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/rea/Reavis/66 Surname: Reavis, Brown, Smiley ------------------------- Congratulations, you finally gave me the "tidbit" I needed to help you. Researched this fam yr or so ago, will have to see if can find with whom and rest of data. But here is what I have: Mary Brown 1872-1953 married m/Unknown Reavis married Jun 1899 James Smiley Robertson co Tn. Now don't know just which chn are Reavis..but couple are, so here are chn listed for her..census records helped clarify..again will have to look for old research; William H. m/Carrie Albert (chn Billie June, James Albert and Doc Lynn); Patrick, Hessie, Irene, Corbett, Bessie, Walter and Silvia. And yes was a big "family commotion" about all of this, seems she was pregnant with Reavis child when married Smiley. Will try to get back to you. *Barb
