  5. Daughter, born c. 1808, at home in 1820.
  6. Son, born c. 1810, unmarried in 1830. This child was probably Presley Reeves, Jr., head of household in 1840 and 1850 when he is recorded in the next residence to widowed Anna Reeves.

  8. Daughter, born c. 1814, unmarried in 1830. This daughter was apparently Frances Reeves, born c. 1813, TN.

1850 Lancaster Co., SC, Census, HH 875/875: Anna Reaves, 75, $300, SC; Margarett, 47, F, SC; M., 34, F, SC.

On 21 August 1852, an Anna Reeves, possibly this one, gave testimony in support of William Clanton's claim to a Revolutionary War Pension, saying her father and Mr. Clanton were neighbors in Kershaw District and they they were acquainted for her earliest recollection. It stated she was 76 years old at the time, which fits with this Anna Reeves.

1860 South Carolina Mortality Schedule, Lancaster County: Anna Reaves, 85, Widow, SC, died January 1860, Liver Complaint, Occupation Knitting, Sick 14 days. (Note that another almost identical entry for Anna appears nine lines underneath the first, this one indicating that she died of typhoid fever.)
