Ben, Thank you so much for your response to my post! I have some REAVIS obits that Martha Smith was kind enough to find for me. One for Minne REAVIS ATKISON refers to her sisters: Mrs. John GOODWYN, Mrs. Talmadge PEERY, and Mrs. Robert MANSFIELD, all of Dresden. The Mrs. MANSFIELD must be your mother's aunt, Mrs. Robert Barr BRASFIELD?? What was her given name? And do you know the given names of Mrs. GOODWYN and PEERY? Minnie & E.T's father Leonidas W. Reavis was married twice. Do you know his wives's names? I would appreciate any info you can give me, even tho these are collateral lines for me. The ATKISON/ATKINSON and PEERY families are connected to my direct line of SAMMONS/SIMMONS. Another of my major lines is connected to HERRON, but I will put that info in a separate post. Thanks again, Jewel ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
