Children of David R. Reaves and Charlotte M. Bell:

1. Mary A. Reaves, b. c1861

5. Nancy E. Reaves, b. c1869
6. Wylie Ervin Reaves, b. c1871
7. Robert Reaves, b. c1873

David appears as "D. R. Reeves" with his wife "C. M. Reeves" on the 1860 census in Kershaw. In a court case in 1868 from Darlington County which is just east of Kershaw County, "Charlotte M. Reaves (wife of David Reaves)" is named as a daughter of William Bell who died 12 Jun 1861.

However, a number of the records including Wylie's death certificate state her name was Charlotte Kelley. Perhaps she was married twice.

Son Wylie's death certificate gives father's full name.
