...
Of the sons, George W. Reaves married four times -not being a very old man at the time of his fourth marriage; he was born in 1811, and died, I think, in 1896 or 1897; his first wife was a Miss Carmichael, of what is now Carmichael Township, a sister of the late Neill C. Carmichael ; she lived only about a year, and died childless he married, a second time, a Miss Brown ; by her he had some children, how many is not known. There were one or two sons by this marriage, who were killed or died in the war, and a daughter, who married some one, and soon became a widow I know nothing more of her. His Brown wife died, I think, in 1846 or 7; he married in a few months. Miss Elizabeth Watson, who has hereinbefore been spoken of ; by her he raised two children, James Robert Reaves and Mary E. Reaves, now Mrs. Murphy-heretofore noticed. The Watson wife died, and he married a Miss Rogers, of the Fork, a daughter of the late Captain John Rogers ; by her he had and raised four sons, George R. Reaves, John Reaves, William Reaves and Edward Reaves ; the latter is a Baptist preacher of high standing, and is pastor of some church in the upper part of the State. These sons of George W. Reaves are all respectable and valued citizens, and are a part of the bone and sinews of the county, married and contributing their full share to the citizenship and general prosperity of the county. The father, George W. Reaves, was a good citizen and a prominent church man, weighed, avoirdupois, three hundred pounds, or more. ...;

"He had a son, named Thomas (and perhaps others), who was the father of John, Solomon and Samuel and probably four daughters.

Solomon and John married sisters--the sisters of old Captain John Rogers of the "Fork" section; and their father, Thomas Collins, Jr., married, for a second or third wife, another sister; thus it appears that the father's wife and the wives of his two sons, Solomon nad John, were sisters--and if they all had offspring by the respective marriages, it would be difficult to tell what realtion the children would be to each other."
