One written by Katherine Reavis Wortham. These seemingly two authors are actually the same individual. She 7th generation, son of Samuel Wilson Reavis-6. She married Harry Moss Wortham. She now deceased. Articles 98% from Marie Hall Book. She added a few things - 2% from her personal knowledge (more recent generations). Her articles also contain Hall's errors (i.e., wrong connection with Reavis married Beau Hester). Fine lady. She and Harry had no children. As a boy and neighbor, I use to cut their lawn. I am the proud owner of her copy of the Reavis Book, she purchased in 1972. PS. I was related to her as follows: 2nd cousin 1 removed 3rd cousin 2 removed 6th cousin 2 removed I was related to her husband Harry Wortham as follows: 5th cousin 5th cousin 1 removed 6th cousin 1 removed 7th cousin 7th cousin 1 removed Harry and Katherine related as follows: Husband and wife 4th cousin 1 removed 6th cousin 1 removed Samuel-2 descendants believed in "keeping it in the family." This has been what has made researching Samuel's family most interesting. By the way, my daughter Evelyn is related to me as follows: 3rd cousin 2 removed 4th cousin 4th cousin 1 removed 4th cousin 2 removed 5th cousin 7th cousin 2 removed 8th cousin 8th cousin 1 removed David Reavis (creavice)
