Family of William Reeves of Chowan, Edgecombe and Granville Co., NC
William Reeves was first mentioned in February 1718 as an adjoining landowner in a deed in Chowan District, North Carolina (location 9 on the adjacent map).The map and above text both first appeared in May 2017 as part of post entitled "Early Reeves' Families in Colonial America" researched and written by Beverly for the blog Reeves, Reaves, and More Rives she co-authors and is included here with her permission.
He is recorded in numerous transactions of Edgecombe County until 1749 when he received a grant from Lord Granville for 200 acres in Granville County on both sides of Fishing Creek. It was in Granville County that his will was written and proved in December of 1751 after his death.
His children remained in that vicinity of North Carolina for some years but by around 1800 most had migrated elsewhere, many to Georgia and South Carolina.
Descendants of this family who have tested with FtDNA are found in DNA Group 3.

[F1] Family pages within TRP often may not document all of the known descendants of an individual.
For example, Person Pages are not generally created for those who died in childhood.
Please review the individual person pages to see if further offspring are listed there.
If complete branches of this tree are missing, you should first contribute person pages for the missing individuals and then via your Mentor Team talk page ask for this page to be updated.
