Some information gives my gggrandfather David Melvin REEVES b.1795 Bladen Co.N.C. as the youngest son of Edward REEVES b.1721 Northampton Co. N.C. d.1826 Bladen Co. N.C. m Jane MELVIN b.1742 Bladen Co.N.C. d.1836 Bladen Co. Other information doesn't name David as being one of Edwards sons. If not WHO was his father? The first information says David REEVES moved to Al. with his 2nd wife and 2 of his sons from his 1st marriage. Names his 1st wife as Catherine SELLERS b. N.C., 2nd wife Mary HERRING b. N.C. One of his sons was Richard W. REEVES my ggrandfather, b 1822 Bladen Co. N.C. The 1860 census of Lowndes Co. Al. lists David REEVES 65 b. N.C. Mary 60 b. N.C. dau Margaret 22 b. N.C.( b.abt 1838)(family #537) Family #538 Richard W. REEVES 38 b.N.C.,Harriet (JONES) 29 b.Al. Julia 12 b Al.,John Duncan 8 b.Al., R. H. 6 b.Al.,Edward 4 b.Al., Mary 3 b. Al.,Liddy 3/12 b. 1860. Acouple of months ago found a birth and marriage page that had been torn from an old Bible. There was the name Duncan REEVES b.1818 N.C.( grandfather was John DUNCAN REEVES), could this be the other son! The line from John Duncan REEVES is dying out. My father David Henry REEVES had 6 daughters, 3 of us still living. Any helps out there. Rubye R. Phelps r1337@x31.infi.net ------------------------------
