Research Notes

Greenup County Ky property records for estate settlement of Reason Reeves includes Affidavit of 2 June 1857, signed in Portsmouth Scioto Co Ohio by Elizabeth Shufflin, widow of Henry Shufflin, formerly Elizabeth Reeves, daughter of Reason Reeves, late of Greenup County, sold her entire share of the estate to William Dortch (land of Simon Kenton and Thomas Marshall to Reason Reeves).

Exact date of Elizabeth's birth not certain: census records inconsistent
1830 - one female under five years ie 1825-1830
1840 - one female 10 to 14 years ie 1826-1830
1850 - E Shufflin (female/wife) 21 years ie 1829
1860 - Elizabeth Prince age 85 Ky or possibly 35 if a very sloppy 3 (listed after Richard Price)
1870 - searching for this
1880 - Elizabeth Price age 48 ie 1832 which means she would be younger than age during childhood and first married. Find a Grave tombstone says born 1822 which is also inconsistent with childhood records. Traditional family lists of the children of Reason and Matilda show her as their third child and therefore I am using 1829 as the best estimate of her year of birth.
