Narrative

The will of Thomas Dill of Ross County, Ohio is dated 13 Dec 1832 and names among his children a daughter Mary Reeves. The estate was processed in 1834. The account includes $600 paid to John Reeves for his wife.

In 1832, John and Mary Reeves of Ross County sold the property "whereon the said John Reeves now lives" to Robert Dill. Presumably they moved elsewhere after this. A John Reeves Jr. witnessed the deed.

Research Notes

This is probably the father of Thomas D. Reeves who moved to Benton County, Oregon. Thomas's family Bible states he was the son of John and Mary Reeves and the Early Oregonians Index indicates Thomas was from Ross County, Ohio.

Online genealogies suggest that Mary moved to Tippecanoe County, Indiana. This needs further research.
