Reaves.—Another family to be here noticed is the Reaves family. The first known of this family was Solomon Reaves, a Baptist preacher. The writer heard him preach when a boy, about 1829, at an association at Porter Swamp Church, in Columbus County, N. C, about five miles from Fair Bluff, N. C. he was then an old man, white hair and red face ; he had a son, named Charles— he may have had other sons, but Charles is the only one that concerns Marion County ; he married a Miss Hodge, sister of the late Dr. Samuel Hodge, in the Gapway neighborhood ; by her he had two sons, George W. and Robert H. Reaves; he may have had other sons and daughters. His first wife dying, he married Miss Mary Griffin, of North Carolina, near Fair Bluff; no offspring by this second marriage. Charles Reaves died in 1861 or 1862, leaving his widow and a large estate of lands and negroes ; he died intestate, his property, real and personal, descended under the law to his widow and two sons, one-third each, the widow getting the old homestead. Some years after that, the widow married the late Colonel John T. Harrington, who died some years back, and left Mrs. Harrington a widow for the second time; no child or children; she still survives and is still a widow on the old Reaves homestead, now in her eighty-seventh year—somewhat a remarkable woman for her age. ...;
