Narrative

The only mention of Robert Reeves in Bladen County found to date is his listing as a 1742 taxpayer when he presented a petition to the Executive Council for a warrant for 300 acres in Bladen that was granted on May 7, 1742. The next extant tax list appears to be that taken in 1763 and Robert is not listed. Presumably he has died in that 20 year span.

Much research is needed in Bladen County to attempt to establish family connections between Robert Reeves and other Reeves who are found there a generation later such as Edward Reeves, Jesse Reeves, William Reeves, Nathaniel Reeves and Zachariah Reeves.
