    Note:

    From information in her father's will, Mary Pritchard Revis was the wife of Jesse Brasfield. Some records refer to her as Mary F. Reavis. Her parents were William -2 Reavis and Mary Pritchard and she was born 1777 in Northampton Co NC.
    The Will Abstract of NC Wills 1760-1800 is in 1784 makes the reference.

    The "2" after William Reavis' name indicates to us that he is second generation from the named progenitor Edward Reavis. Although Edward's father may have been in MD/VA, we have no proof as yet so to keeo the jillion Williams, Johns and Jameses and Marys straighter we have added generation numbers. We find an age range that way and can sometimes connect a line by computing how many links are missing.

    I will send you separately a link to an angelfire site on Reavis family which will have the will in script and possibly transcribed also, I cannot recall, available. The site is a bit jumbled in appearance but this reflects the nascent html capabaility of the owner rather than the quality and breadth of information included. Our Reavis List on rootsweb may have information on Brassfields in the archives because I have worked on them with our main researcher.

    William-2 married at least twice as far as we know, once in 1747 to Jamry Jordan; some say this is a mistranscription of Mary but I have not seen the record, so.... They had at least nine children. William married Mary Pritchard (d/o John P.) 1760-64 and they had at least seven children including Mary Pritchard-3 1777 Northampton Co NC. She is referred to as "Mary F." in some cases but specifically as Mary Pritchard Reavis in her father's will.

    We have no death date other than 1840 Buena Vista, Monroe Co IN, bur at Combs Cemetery there, and I know her daughter Abigail married a Combs but have not followed that line. We believe Jesse died about 1826 in Surry Co NC and that they had 9 children. Do you have any specifics on where he is buried?

    ****************************

    Just reviewed data on your GED world connect rootsweb.

    here is a bit of data on Mary Pritchard Reavis

    her father was William Reavis b ca1725 Henrico Co Va
    died ca1785 (will d/1784) Northampton Co NC
    where the family moved to in 1747 frm Henrico Co Va

    His first wife was believed to be a Jordan, his second wife
    Mary Pritchard married aft 1760

    chn of William and Mary were:
    Samuel m/Goodin
    Leah bca1763 m/Huskey
    Isaac bca1764 m/Wallis/Wallace
    Elizabeth bca1765 m/Parham
    William bca1766 m/Tate
    Franky (female) ca1768
    and Mary..whom I believe must have been born ca 1770
    rather than 1777..but have not documentation, just that
    to be consistent with other chn births..1770 makes more
    sense, yet they did not marry til 1804..so who knows.

    All of the children were born in Northampton co NC, Wm
    had purchased land in Wake Co couple yrs prior to his
    death in Northampton co., so most of his chn inherited
    the land in Wake co and you can trace most of them in
    that area.

    Note you have Mary born in France, maybe her mother was, I
    have no data on her..but for sure Mary m/Brasfield was born
    in Northampton co NC.

    Update Reavis/Brasfield

    Just found the following..so Mary Pritchard Reavis Brasfield did not
    die in 1840..but in 1860 Monroe Co Ind

    She is found on the 1860 census with her son Andrew in Monroe Co
    Indiana

    Further the Monroe Co Cemeteries/pub of Monroe Co Hx Soc
    Combs Cemetery index..under Brassfield is:

    wife of Jesse Brassfield 1780-1860..no first name given

    So I have updated my data once again> :-)
