Research Notes

The are numerous online pedigrees who list the marriage of 15 Apr 1807 in Surry County, North Carolina of Jesse Franklin Reeves to Peggy Hadley. That marriage has been found to be misinformation. Further research has revealed that Peggy Hadley married a "Jesse Reece", not Reeves and they are found in future years living in Yadkin County, North Carolina.
