Descendants of Harvey Reeves

Generation No. 1

1. HARVEY² REEVES (JERIMIAH¹) was born 1817 in Kentucky, and died Bef. 1860 in Madison County, Kentucky. He married MARGARET JANE WOOLERY August 16, 1838 in Madison, County, Kentucky, daughter of ISAAC WOOLERY and FRANKY WATSON.

Notes for HARVEY REEVES:
I first find Harvey Reeves in 1850 U.S. Census living in Div #1 Madison
County,Ky., Pg. #258 that shows Harvey Reeves, Margaret his wife and their
three children b. by 1850, with son Joab 8 years old, daughter Deby 4 years old
and son Patrick 1 year of age.

The marriage of Harvey Reeves and Margaret Jane Woolery was recorded in Madison
Co., Kentucky on 16 Aug. 1838. Marriage record is taken from the Madison County
Records. Source: Madison County, Kentucky Marriages 1785-1851. Isaac Woolery
was bondsman for this marriage.

The 1860 Madison Co., Ky. census shows Margaret and her children in the home of
Bailey Gentry, and census indicates Margaret and Bailey were married within the
year. Harvey had died prior to this census and the marriage of Bailey Gentry
to Margaret Jane Woolery Reeves. Source: Marriage Bonds Vol. 6, pg. 183,
Madison Co. Clerk's office, Richmond, Ky. (Bond dtd. 17 Dec. 1859)
"Marriage is intended to be solemnized between Bailey Gentry and Mrs. Margaret
J. Reeves." John Woolery and Bailey Gentry are bondsmen.

Harvey and Magaret Reeves were not found in the 1840 census of Madison County

she was born in Laurence Co.,Indiana,but it is never reflected on any of
the census records that this is so.
