Research Notes

Although proximity is not proof of a family connection, newly married Jesse Reaves (sic) is listed in the midst of members of the family of (Sidney) James Reeves in Buncombe County in the 1830 census. The residences of family members and Jesse are listed in the following order:

• Joseph Worley
• Jesse Reaves (sic)
• Wells Reaves (sic)
• Mallachiah Reaves (sic)
• Charles Glance

Jesse's first wife was from the Worley family and Malachi's wife was Barbara Glance so this appears to be a neighborhood where all of the family and allied families lived which adds credence to the belief that Jesse Jefferson Reeves was a son of James Reeves.
