The problems you are having with your Reeses are quite common in the Reese family. I did not find any connection except David Ap Reese and that has come up in our family, but not proven. We believe our Reeses' are from Wales but have not been able to make the connection. We are desended from Samuel Posey Reese (this has been proven) but are having trouble getting back further than that. Keep in touch, something may come up that will help.

Possibly Mary Elizabeth (Ellen), James (Jim) Robert, David D, Sarah Carol, Wiley or Wylie Wilburn. She had 2 children John Sutton and Martha Jane Sutton who married her step brother William Benton. James Robert (Joel) Reese or Rees DOB 12 May 1800 Liberty, Bedford, VA DOD 12 Sept 1888 Howard CO, AR Married Annie (Anna) Jones 27 Dec 1821 Berry Rees/Reese (also listed as William Littleberry Rees/Reese) so am not sure of his name.

I have as children John C, Jordan, Cuthbert, Isham, Williamson C, Sarah F, to Susan/Susannah. Then i have Berry, John and Jordan as children to Rhonda with John and Jordan having same birthdates as other John and Jordan.
