s/o David & Wilhenny Reel--David first married Hannah Myers in 1820; 1793-gone by 1850
David & Rebecca were living less than 1 1/2 miles from here.
Rebecca would have been his niece. I have my doubts whether all of her children were by David. Some come up in the census records as being mulatto. Nimrod Redman 1820-1897 lived with them the 1870 and 1880 census's.
