I found a notation in an 1812 widow's pension request for Elizabeth (Reese) Butler (husband - Moses) about a Henry Reece. The year was 1878. One daughter, Jane Reid, appeared to swear that her father and mother were married until he died in 1855 and that Elizabeth hadn't remarried. At the same time, the husband of another daughter, Mary Ann Low, was called upon to testify to the same information. A man named Henry Reece, age 69, who lived in Oconee County, South Carolina, swore that he had known Elizabeth for 58 years. If anyone knows anything about this man, I'd appreciate the information. I'm actually searching for the family of Elizabeth Reese Butler, but Henry may be a link. There was a Henry D. Reese on the Pendleton CO, SC, censuses of 1810 and 1820. Could he be Henry of Oconee's father? Thanks, Judy Dixon Judith H. Dixon Joplin, MO dixonj@ipa.net http://www.ipa.net/~dixonj/
