Notes for REV DAVID AP REES:
Reference " Genealogy of The Reese Family " by Mary E. Reese 1903
      Sir David Ap Rees's son, Rev. David Ap Rees, was a Presbyterian pastor at Cardigan, Wales. He married Maud, daughter of Sir Meridith Owen, of South Wales.
      This family of Rees, on coming to America in 1700, added a final "e" to the name, spelling it Reese. There were several brothers and two sisters, who landed at New Castle, Delaware. Here they separated. Rev David Reese and his two daughters, Ruth and Esther, went to Pennsylvania. One brother, Charles, remained in Delaware, where, after a few years, he died, and his family emigrated to Pennsylvania, another brother, settled in Maryland, where he left a numerous progeny, but the writer has no information concerning them. Esther married a Scotchman, Mackay, a descendant of General Mackay, who had command of the army of Scotland at the battle of Killierankie. Ruth, the second daughter, never married, but studied medicine, and was considered a fine female doctor and nurse of that period. These sisters lived and died in Pennsylvania. At one time they visited their brother David, who had emigrated to North Carolina. This is the only visit they ever made to North Carolina.
