Children as named in the 1837 Will of Lysias Durham recorded in Orange County, North Carolina Will Book F, Page 3.

There is much evidence to support the belief that George Reeves, Sr.'s wife and Sarah's mother was Tabitha Geer, daughter of John Geer who died in Orange County in 1769. See Research Notes on George Reeves, Sr.'s page. Note that Lysias Durham listed the middle name of his daughter Tobitha or Tabitha as Gear or Geer. A daughter or Sarah's brother Frederick Reeves also gave one of her daughters the middle name Geer.
