Narrative

Children of William Reeves and Margaret Ross:

1. Ocey Reeves, b. 17 Apr 1811
2. William Reeves, Jr., b. 24 May 1813
3. Hope Reeves, b. 1 Jan 1816
4. Katharine Reeves, b. 28 Oct 1818
5. John Reeves, b. 30 Nov 1823

William is found in Scipio, Meigs County, Ohio consistently right by the family of Richard Reeves. In the 1840 census, William is listed between Richard Reeves and his own son William Jr.. It's likely given the close association that this is an older brother of Richard's. However the marriage date for the parents Solomon Reeve and Elizabeth Cox was 16 Dec 1755, which is after the birth date for William given in the family Bible. This could mean the birth date was recorded incorrectly.
