There is a John D Reavis in the Reavis Family book by Barbara Lucas . He was married in Surry County. He is in land and marriage records. She states he is the son of Jesse Reavis b 1750-18412- Married to Sally Locke Elwell and had a son Micajah Reavis b 1790-1850 who married an Elizabeth Early.Second marriage to Eleanor Howard had a son John Reavis Jr. 1787. I have been looking at this family in the Surry Iredell area because of an Edmond Reeves who I believe is Edmond Reavis who had a son by the name of John. I have traced John back to Iredell from Sumner Co. Tenn in court records. in 1801. It is a great possiblility that Reeves and Reavis have been mixed together. I have found no real spellings of Reeves until we get in to the middle to later 1800's in court and land records in this area of North Carolina. Trying to unravel these people is difficult when another family reseacher claims their records. Sharon

Don't know what area of the United States your REAVES/REAVIS lived; but, my GGF, HIRAM REAVES/REAVIS/REEVES (he's listed all these ways in various census reports in the 1800's) lived in SC. Pickens, Greenville, etc. Ever, Barb ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 9:20 AM Subject: Re: [REEVES] John D.

Oh, I'm having a senior moment- meant to say: I had an uncle (twin of my father) who was named DOCTOR EARLY REAVES......"Doctor was his name!"...but, the EARLY is mentioned in your e.
