From C. Mike Carter to HDE Sep 1999:
"Willis Reeves and his wife Colombia were living in Henry County KY in 1850. Both are listed as being born in KY in the 1850 census. Willis is listed as 42 years old which would make his birht about 1808, and Columbia is 39 years old which would make her birth about 1811.
"There are nine children listed in the 1850 census ranging in age from 2 months up to 20 years. All of the children are listed as being born in KY. Willis and Columbia were probably married about 1829. There was a Willis Reeves living in Shelby County KY in 1840. Shelby and Henry are side by side.
"I believe that the Henry age 17 years (born 1833) is the father of Pascal Reeves. The US Census in Henry County was conducted in September of 1850, and Henry was married in November of 1850. This would explain why he is listed as still living with his parents in 1850.
"The Henry County KY deaths reg list a Willis Reeves who died Feb 28, 1853 of consumption at the age of 45 years. His birth place is listed as Gallatin County KY. Gallatin County organized in Dec of 1798 is just to the north of Henry County. Gallatin County was formed from section of Shelby and Franklin Co. His birth would bave been in 1808 which matches the date from the 1850 census. The Henry County birth records list a Lucy Reaves born near Pleasurevill on Feb 27, 1853 to Willis Reaves and Columbia (Levenson?).
"The 1860 Census for Pleasureville Subdivison no 1 Henry CO KY lists a Columbia Reaves as head of household. Columbia is only living a few doors away from Henry L. Reaves and Sarah F. Ethington the parents of Pascal Reeves.Reaves, Columbia 49 F KY
