Narrative
Children of William Reaves:- Ezekiel Reeves
- William Reaves
The will of William Reaves names "my son Ezekial Reaves otherwise Ezekial Adam" and "my son William Reaves alias Taylor Rose." He gives to his son Ezekiel "Peter, a negro man, Phillis a Negro woman." This matches the 1836 will of Ezekiel Reeves which mentions "Peter a negro man Phillis a girl." Ezekial's will was recorded in Washington County, Alabama. In 1809 when William wrote his will, Baldwin County sat directly north of Washington County. This the location and wills of these individuals tie them together as father and son.
