Narrative

Children of Margarite D. Reeves and John Rich:

1. Unknown daughter, b. 1825-1830
2. Bennett Rich, b. 1833

An November 1820 Wilkes County deed by Bennett Reeves for love and affection to his son-in-law John Rich who intermarried with his youngest daughter Margarite documents the family connection. Additionally, John and Margaret Rich named a son Bennett Rich which adds further credence to the belief that Margaret was Bennett's daughter. (Wilkes County GA DB GGG, p. 316)
