Asa's name as inscribed on tombstone is REEVE, not Reeves.

The above list of children and dates comes from the Hayden-Reeves Bible as copied by GenForum user W. W. Meyers.

Asa married twice. In an 1841 Power of Attorney recorded in Fleming County, Kentucky, Asa and Margery Reeves of Montgomery County, Indiana make George Ewing of the same County their attorney to sell some land in Fleming County. In the actual deed for the land from 1843, it states that the land was the former property of Abner Gregg and Margery was his widow. Margery Hogskins had married Abner Gregg 22 Jan 1806. As "Nancy Gregg," she was married to Asa 10 Oct 1840. This appears to be the Margery Reeves, d. 2 Jan 1864, who was buried in the Union Chapel Cemetery, Morton, Putnam County, Indiana (Findagrave).



Research Notes

The entry in the County marriage book either reads 11th or 17th. It may have a smudge that makes it look like 17 when it was actually 11.
