A phamphlet called "Stetches" was written in 1926 by Thurston Titus Hicks of Vance County. It contains data on many Granville/Vance County families, some that tie in with the Reavises, e.g. Hicks and Parham. It also contains ture stories. Here is a good one - timely: Speaking of Chalk Level reminds me of a story....told me during ...the Presidential campaign of 1868 ... Her pa was at Henderson the other day before and saw old man Reavis who said to her father "Barnes, when I die and go to Heaven Saint Peter will meet me at the gate and hold out his hand and say: 'Come in Reavis.' And I will say to him: Peter, are there any Radicals in Heaven? and if he says yes, I'll say, well, take me back to Chalk Level."
